Post by: Sontag on January 23, 2017, 08:44:54 PM: can somebody tell me why there is still no beatsync for the arpeggiator? i just don't get it. it made me sell the mopho, it sucks on my p8 and it still sucks on my ob6. is this so hard to implement?

This is strange and annoying. At first i thought i had something wrong but everything else syncs.

in my case midi clock comes from the tempest, so it has nothing to do with clock jitter from a daw anyway. and usamo can not change the sync behaviour of the arpeggiator i think. i use a mutable instruments midipal as workaround, but to honest, it's quite annoying that you need an extra device to have a beatsynced arpeggiator on your new 2,5k synthesizer.

Rock solid midi clock sync here as well. Beat Sync is not midi clock sync. Beat Sync has to do with how the Arp/Seq triggers a new chord in the middle of a beat/bar. Beat sync keeps the Arp/Seq in time even when your performance is slightly off. This feature is especially helpful in live settings. This has been a feature request for some time on the P6/P2 forums. Surprising. So there's that...

I was playing with the arpegiator on my OB-6 for a couple of hours and it was perfectly in sync with the other two modules.
