PC when linked to to my mpc, sometimes stutters

Post by ferrari-50 » Wed Jul 23, 2003 10:29 pm

I am having trouble, when I sync my cubase to my MPC, it tends to stutter.
Do I need more memory? I am using Windows XP and using midi clock to sync the PC and MPC. Can someone suggest anything.

Are you talking MIDI sync or SPDIF (digital audio) sync?

This thread seems to imply that an updated direct-x driver from MS would do it. That doesn't sound quite right to me.

Hmm, are you sending MIDI Time code or MIDI beat clocks? There's a difference. Try making beat clocks the default instad of MTC and see if that makes a difference. What sequencer are you using?

Hmm. This thread seems to say that there's some flavor of "Legacy USB support" parameter in several varieties of BIOSes that must be twiddled off before getting good timing out of the Midex 8's MIDI clocks.

I think the last one is your answer.
