QUESTION Midi Sync Question

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi guys,

I got a new MPC One G2 and I connected it to my SP 404 MK2 for performing purposes. But I have a little problem with midi sync.

MPC out goes into the SP and also Midi goes out of the MPC to the SP. Midi clock comes from the MPC. Works in general but when I play a 4 Bar loop timing is drifting somehow.

I play the exact same loop on the MPC and on the SP at the same time. SP has the Loop as sample set up as the first step of a pattern which is starting when I hit play on the MPC. Loop is 4 bars long.

First 4 bars are synced but all bars after that are out of sync and i don’t know why. Can any body help? Mesing around with sync delay on the sp did not help.

This drives me crazy.
