Midi problems with A3000
I have an A3000(32mb with Zip drive) and an ensoniq ASR-x(32mb 8 outs), hooked via a portman PC/P serial midi interface to a IBM laptop (Windows 98 150Mhz 96Mb Ram). I dont use a controller Keyboard, i just hook up the yamaha directto the laptop using the in/outs and use the Thru port for the ASR. The problem is when i set up say 3 drumloops on separate Keys but the same channel. all are tempo matched on a PC, but they dont play in time on the Yamaha. I find i have to fine tune them even though on the computer they are identical BPMs
When i load them into the ASR its perfect!. Can someone help me sort out my timing problems - is it the Laptop or the Yamaha with the probs. The ASR is notoriuos for timing issues but not as bad as this!
I'm going crazy coz i need this set-up to play live using the Laptop and at this rate im getting nowhere.
omeone offer me divine inspiration on this issue
