Omnisphere and Live 9 not in sync!!

[big dred]

I'm pretty familiar with both of these programs, but I'm having a hard time figuring this one out. I load Omnisphere into a track (for the sake of description lets just say its a generic sound in Omnisphere that has modulation and/or arpeggiator). If I record just a single note, for 4 beats, continuously stretched out over the whole track (so that the rhythm of the sound of Omnisphere is constant and repeating), it seems that the timing of the modulation and/or arp for the Omnisphere track is synced up to a different timing than the BPM of Ableton. Meaning that if I hit a key on the keyboard, I have to hit it at the exact time of the down note in Omnisphere in order for the note to play, or else it will wait till the next down note before starting. In essence, the timing of the instrument is not in sync with the timing in Ableton. After a few measures the track stops and has to wait a few steps before catching back up to itself. Its very frustrating as I have checked every possible midi option in Ableton and Omnisphere and cant seem to find anything about this online either.

Any suggestions?? Please.

Switch off the record-arm button...?
