Thanks for your reply mijaba. Unfortunately, sample length calculator won't help for my intended application. I use MPC1000 as master sequencer, it plays drums and sequences various synths. Ideally, it should be possible to capture loops live and keep them playing in sync with the rest - but ...

Found this thread by accident, was very excited and wondering why this isn't celebrated all over the web - I mean, if sampled loops finally sync correctly with external MIDI clock, this is a huge deal! However, after installing the update, I didn't notice much improvement in that area - sampled ...

Hi El,

Thanks, now your method is perfectly clear to me.

So, you're saying that audio and MIDI on KP3 are out of sync with each other, regardless of KP3 being clock master or slave? That's a bummer.

Hi El, I've re-read your post several times and still don't understand the idea. The KP3 doesn't have sub-outputs that the sync signal could be sent to, and if the sync goes to the main outputs, how can I at the same time use the KP3 for its' intended purpose? At any rate, this workaround doesn't ...

To summarize: - Even with this fault, the KP3 is still a cool device. I didn't buy it primarily as a MIDI-synchronized looper, just thought it's a nice feature to have, one that opens a bunch of creative possibilities. - It's a shame that Korg's implementation makes this feature unusable, cause it ...

Tried it yesterday. Not surprisingly, it didn't help. I sampled 2 bars of metronome from MPC1000 and kept it running. At first, the MPC and the KP were in sync, but after a couple of minutes, there was noticeable flam between the two metronomes. Strangely, trying to manually re-align the KP actually ...

Thanks for the suggestion rammstein, will try that.

AFAIK the Kaossilator doesn't loop MIDI, only audio - if that's true, it doesn't apply to my question. If you can make a simple test with a drum machine or any other device with MIDI clock output, I'm curious how it works for you. If not - never mind, thanks anyway!

My MIDI clock master is MPC1000. It's a rock solid clock source, my other gear syncs to it perfectly. The idea was to have sampled phrases playing along with an external sequencer (MPC1000 in this case), but the sampled loop gradually loses sync with the sequencer. Do you have a MIDI sequencer that ...

Hi all, My name is Boris, a few days ago I bought a brand new KP3+. It's a cool gadget, but rather quickly I discovered that it doesn't sync properly to MIDI clock - the sampled loops are OK at first, but drift out of sync within a few minutes. After googling "KP3 MIDI sync" I found some posts from ...
