Hi guys !
Yesterday I checked this delay ‘’feature’’ also with external sequencer.
I checked two styles (didn’t have time for more), one country and one 8 beat style. I recorded only drum part with computer sequencer. I started with ARRANGE section, then I pressed FILL 1, after that FILL 2, then again I hold down FILL 1 to record multi-fill (fills 1, 2, and 3 playing one after another).
The record showed what I was afraid of – all the notes were quantized (even those in multi-fill) except the transition from FILL to ARRANGE section. Just those notes on the first bit were all a little to late, all proceeding notes were all right and quantized again.
I recorded the same thing also with slower and faster tempo and the delay was the same – so it’s always there, it is just the most annoying and noticeable with tempos around 120.
The above observations were made with SD1 generating internal clock.
Then I generated the clock with external sequencer and guess what – the trouble was gone, no delays any more.
How could this be? Why is internal clock not good enough to trigger those transitions properly?
I would be glad to get some info from Ketron Company itself. There has to be something to make this thing better, this machine is just too sophisticated to allow such anomalies.
I will do some more tests with other styles and without AUTO-CRASH as A.J. has recommended.
I’ll keep you informed.
Thanks also for your comments.
