First generation Electribes don't sync with modern gear?

[tracert]

Hello!
I have been trying to sync three first-generation Electribes - the ER1, EM1 and ES1 - with an Elektron Digitakt.

They all successfully receive MIDI clock and transport data from the Digitakt, but they all audibly lag about 250ms behind the Digitakt. The Digitakt runs perfectly in sync with other modern gear. And when using the Electribes to send clock to the Digitakt, or other modern gear, the audio is closer to synchronised but the Electribes still audibly lag behind. The Electribes play in perfect sync with each other however.

Does anyone have any solutions or information about this? Are the Electribes just slow to process MIDI data or put out audio?

Have you been able to sync your first gen Electribes with modern gear?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1st Electribes are designed simple (and pretty perfect in that) AF, so they have no reason to be prepared for huge MIDI stream to process ) In your skin, I would try to study MIDI implementation of both machines a lot, and analyze all MIDI messages running from digitakt to electribe (thru midiOX), bcs I have suspection on A) different clock resoution or B) huge amount of unwanted data or wrong messages coming from Digitakt. Did you try to set filter all MIDI data out and send just realtime messages?
