Thanks marclr. Trust the French Brothers & Sisters to be ahead of the game! I wish I'd payed more attention at school, maybe then I could understand the thread. But it's obvious you've been on the case properly, great to see - although obviously a sad outcome... Cheers.

Again Myrk - not 12ms, it's 15ms at least, and that's in the absolute optimal circumstances. And how do you apply track delay with hardware sequencers, eg MPC Live? You can't really, trust me. Given that Roland market the MX-1 very much as a hands on, live performance tool, it stands to reason that ...

You guys think 12ms would really make a compositional difference? That's less drift than the tightest rock band on the planet could even ever play at - when you hear a CD of a band, that's not within 12ms separation of notes between musicians. With the topic title "Bad Latency" I'd expect...

Haha Matt P, I'm not sure I did keep my cool at all, especially when I made the mistake of going in there after a couple of beers... Plus one or two of the worst gaslighters ended up deleting a whole string of their posts when they realised they'd painted themselves into a corner, leaving all my rep...

UPDATE: Good news for MX-1 owners It's now definitive and confirmed by Roland - the Boutiques are the problem, not the MX-1, and it won't ever get fixed. Here is a video of a test I performed which seems to prove the latency definitively. https://youtu.be/FmnXzoCktOY Below is my correspondence with...

Hi All. It was me that made the original facebook post in the link above, and who made the video clip of the test which seems to prove the latency definitively. https://youtu.be/FmnXzoCktOY Below is my correspondence with Roland in light of this video. It shows that they acknowledge the problem, and...

Right, done all of the above and loads more. With all combos of leads, sync, sample rates, standalone and connected setups etc, I have reached the conclusion there is a consistent 15 milliseconds or so of latency with the audio coming from my 2 Boutiques over any USB channel on the MX- 1. This makes...

As someone who owned a Tr-909 for a quarter of a century, I can tell you that this is authentic behaviour. The Snare and Clap share the same white noise generator so this is thought to be the reason for the phasing. When I used to record my 909, if I didn't like this, I would have to multitrack them...

Thanks saintjohn, I'll try this, although only one Boutique is using the y splitter as the other is in the bus powered slot 3. You'd think if it was causing issues to neighboring slots it would cause problems to the TR-8 too. But worth a try just to eliminate it, you're right. I must say I'm startin...

Hi All, Just bought an MX-1 and connected up my two Boutiques (JU and JP) via USB (using an Arturia Beatstep USB 'Y' cable to get round the non-powered USB issue - massive thanks to this forum for the tips!). MIDI and audio are being streamed ok but the problem is that there is quite a noticeable la...
