MIDI Sync with External Sequencers

[drGrov]

Hi drGrov,
Thanks tor reporting this sighting!  I think I reproduced this bug just on The NDLR alone.  I have a good feeling about what might be happening, has something to do with not marking either of the motifs as the one to sync to, when the play all button is pushed.  When either of the relevant buttons are press the motifs are correctly marked, hence the sync works.  I'll have a look at the source code when I can get out of mail room duties!
Thanks again!

I've done some more poking around with this, and discovered a possibly related issue to with syncing to beats in a bar. I can use the play/pause buttons for the individual parts and the NDLR correctly tracks the beats in bar. For example, with the drone set to "cadence "on one", the drone note coincides with the first beat of the bar on other sequenced tracks. I can stop the drone and then restart it at any point in the bar while the sequencer is running and it remains in sync.

This doesn't happen if I use the All play/pause button to start the NDLR while the sequencer is running. Depending on when I press the button to start, the same "on one" drone note can be wildly out of sync with everything else. I think the NDLR is resetting it's idea of where beat 1 of the bar is to be the moment at which the All play/pause button was pressed. In any case the only fix is to stop / restart the sequencer, which gets everything back in sync again.

Apologies if I'm just saying the same thing again but it seems a bit different to me
