looper throws midi gear out of sync.

Post by Peter Klank » Sat May 25, 2019 1:10 pm

can anybody comment on the following:

I am trying to use the loopers in a live setting. I have an E-RM Multiclock that is synced to live by audio, and it gives a super tight sync with my other gear (2 elektron boxes and a synth). Everything works super smooth.
However, when I use the looper, it sometimes (one out of two) creates a delay between ableton and the other gear. it always happens when I 'do' something, like pressing overdub, clearing the looper,... it does not always happen, and it tends to happen more with longer loops, like 8 bars.
they stay in sync, they don't go drifting further away. there is just a sudden delay between ableton and the rest.
inside ableton everything stays nicely together, the loopers and other tracks.

is this a bug?
