wavering external clock (or interpretation thereof...)

Hi everyone, just starting out here... I'm trying to fly in some sequences from my Yamaha MO6, and have the synth set to sync in prefs. But though the sequencer's tempo reads an exact 172 bpm, the tempo in Live's control panel fluctuates between .25 bpm on either side of 175.0 bpm.

I figured the inconsistency was coming from the MO6's clock, but from my searches in the forum I've come to realize that there isn't much respect, to say the least, for Live's MIDI Clock implementation for signals from the outside.

Just wondering if anyone else had any insights as to how I can correct this, or if not, what would be the easiest way to squeeze or stretch my midi notes to the grid set to the *real* 172 once I've flown it all in.

Thanks a bunch... I am *super* psyched to be learning Ableton finally!

cascadia, hehe

we had a piece on the local npr recently, about the guy who coined the term , made a flag, etc.

i can't recall exactly but it seemed he had cooled a bit. i'm with it, but it seems sticky. especially the BC part.

?

yeah, it's all definitely "cooled a bit" for sure, and not just with the loosely-defined and even more loosely-organized eco-radical activist "anarchist" scene in general out here on the West Coast, but I'd say even across the whole gamut of dissent on the whole, after this "things are different now" zeitgeist we all experienced upon 9/11 and the Patriot Act and that whole shift.

But I never got into flags or boundaries or the specifics of it much at all really (although I do vaguely remember seeing a news item about the same guy I think you're talking about, can't remember where he was from...) I just like the sound of "Cascadia" to refer to my neck of the woods on that level. "Ecotopia" is way too dorkin'... :o

cheers!
