It seems to me that it's not the midi clock that drifts, but the audio.
That would explain why people using only hardware synths don't have any problem.

To those experiencing midi drifting when synced to live: try the "driver error compensation" lesson and check that the offset always stays the ...

Well, I finally got everything up and running. I am very pleased to report Live is giving me no sync trouble whatsoever. My setup is in my signature. I'm using a Gateway M275 Tablet PC. I have a 1.7GHz processor and 512 MB Ram.
It might help to mention I am using no softsynths, computer samples ...

I remember someone said shutting off his wireless on his laptop proved effective in handling this. Is it possible there are other taxes on your systems that would help if deactivated? For instance, are you using the same computer for sequencing as you are to visit these forums and write these ...

well Amaury did participate on this topic but in november and since that we are on 603, but nothing is fixed...

I've made a new test. Maybe it can help your teams.

Cubase SX3 as MAster > Live as Slave (REWIRE):

Midi from Live thru > Cubase with its own clock > to my HArd Synth (arpeggio ON) Everything's PERFECT ! In time, NO de-SYNC !!!!

(Same tests with Midi & Clock from Cubase and Live as Rewire Slave ...

Made a lot of tests with different Midi Interfaces, differents Synths, different notes, controlling the delay compensation... always the same problem. Live can't manage Clock + Notes properly. I've tried also with Live 6.0.3... the same...

It does not manage sync properly at all!!!!!!
still no ...

i had the problem again this weekend, using live603, my mpc500 and my 606... Ableton as master and the 606 and MPC as slave, the 606 ends up losing synchro, when it is slaved alone it does not loose it...

anyone could handle this? cause i have tried all possible way and it never works! Hoffman can you post a sreenshot of your settings in the pref panel of the powermate driver?

The problem is still here on Live603
i use a 606 sometimes a 626 and 505, and recently a MPC500 and the sync is totally messed up, i explained the problem in precedent post on this topic, are you aware of this problem already? are you working on it?
Ableton, at least give us a sign regarding this!

yeah i handled it too by using only one drummachine, but we really need to get that fixed!!!!!!!

Ableton, are we doing something wrong with our machines that we don't understand? or is this a bug you noticed? i think i renember that there was some issues with ableton 5 lke this too, i think it was fixed in the late updates though... right?

mac G5 2x2 1,5g ram, os 10.4.7, RME HammerfallSoundcard, using latest UAD plugins...

i confirm that bug.
If i run some session without overdriving the UAD cpu, save and close the session, then open it back, the UAD tells me it is out of CPU power and needs to turn off some plugs. it does not happen all the time though, but i had that bug sometimes on Live5 too. I don't get that ...

I also have big sync problem, i experienced the weiredest thing on saturday, i was planning to play in sync with a TR626 and a TR606, using a dopfer sync box and a MFB502 modified.

Ok i will try to make it simple:

1st case: 2 drum machines are in sync, MFB and 606, if one starts the otherone ends ...

I am just noticing this now in Live 6.01 on a mac running 10.4.8.

Live plug ins all appear to have no presets.
VST plug presetsappear fine in the drop down menu within the plugin (Live GUI).
AU plugs appear in the plug in browser window when I click the "hot swap presets" button.

So how do I get ...
