Novation BASS STATION 2 KEYBOARD!!!

[MBTC]

It does re-send the time to the Ultranova when I hit play, it's just that the keyboard time rarely shows the correct BPM, its usually off by 2 or 3 (if 135 in the DAW, maybe 133 on the UN).

Honestly it's usually irrelevant to the sound, because such a small difference would require an arp'ed note to be held down for a long time before the timing felt off, (i.e. it sounds fine), but the "fuzzy value interpretation" surprised me, as did the lag in sending a simple patch up/patch down message from the VST to the board.

I guess it's just a wake up call for someone spoiled by soft-synths. I remember back in my early days of hardware only and the Atari ST, timing issues were almost always present, to the point that it could be a LOT of work just to get the overall mix sounding tight. But that was almost 25 years ago, seems like technology would have brought things further, but as they say "MIDI hasn't changed much since it was invented".. lol
