Hi ,Hollowcell thanks for your advice , ill give it a try in a bit and post the results.
Well spotted Drammy , i didnt have my midi plugged in at the time of the screenshot, but its basically the same but with usb out next to the sw wavetable synths,(ticked btw).
Oh , right ill untick MMC and "Midi Timecode follows project time"
Lets see if this stuff solves it

.
BTW im using the realtek ac97 with asio4all drivers at the moment , as my echo indigo io hates my laptop, and im awaiting a EMU 1616M.
Thanks
Keiran
