At this point, you should have a nice solid loop going on with the TI led's blinking away in perfect time with the metronome. Hit stop.

Next, create another instrument track and select it so it is in record mode. Let me know what happens when you start playback.

Cheers!

that's the way it is.

Not sure what that means exactly. Are you saying that the playback of arps will always be erratic and generally out of sync unless you have the TI instrument track selected and in record mode?

no, the arp will stay in time, the tempo LED will be off, more or less, depending on your selected track.

Well I'm glad its not just me that is having major issues with the arps. I am having similar problems with the RTAS version & despite 12 or so revisions of VC3 it is still no better. What is worse is that access seems to be in denial about the whole thing.

Sorry Berni, can't comment on RTAS as I don't use it. I feel your pain though.

Okay, so now we are getting somewhere. Having tweaked my system, 128 & 256 seem to be the optimal for the TI. I switched from your latest beta as it resulted in the TI shutting down with a nice 'wave' type sound coming over my monitors, bit like outrun on my crusty sega console. The only thing is, your official release does it as well. Check the video here:

Answer:

is this using the USB outputs or the Analogue ones?

Sorry, you beat me to it. I used the USB outputs in that test. I always try to use the USB O/P's as the latency between both I feel is now negligible to a certain degree.

Cheers marc,

can you send me that test? i'm not aware that switching tracks has an influence on the timing, using the USB outs.
