Using a Soundbite Micro with KPro...

Post by Bazildon »

I got one of these to provide a stable midi clock from the audio coming from my DJ mixer, it works really well!

However, I've noticed that the KPro doesn't seem to be able to keep up (sometimes). I've read the posts about syncing with ableton and the like, but it really does seem like there is a problem with the KPro and midi clock signals from anything other than a KP3.

The bpm button flashes, but with quite a lot of "lag" sometimes. It shows itself best when using the HOLD function on the KPro (shift button) when using one of the drum patterns (like 173 Breakbeat). You would expect the KPro would keep consistent, but it doesn't - as shown by the soundbite micro still flashing correctly on the beat - but the KPro being a bit behind. Then for no particular reason it goes back into sync.

If anyone wants to see what i mean I may be able to do a video to show the issue.

Its annoying, but I'd like to think that its just a firmware update thing away from being sorted - anyone have any clues when we'll get another update?
