this is a strange and annoying issue but the tempo in the 3x is completely out of sync.

if i record a song i record in my daw for example at 90bpm and try to sync it to the DAW tempo it's eventually goes out of sync. I've tried with cubase and presonus studio one DAWs

basically the tempo says 90bpm but it seems as though it's actually 89.x cos it's certainly not 90bpm.

what the hell is going on? this is only started to happen since i upgraded to the latest OS on the 3x.

I've even tested by starting the metronome on the pa3x in record mode and then starting the metronome in the DAW and eventually the DAW's metronome is ahead?

any suggestions?

if this is an issue it really isn't acceptable. the basic function of a keyboard is surely to keep tempo?

Thanks,
Sal

Could it be that your DAW timing is the problem?

Sal,

How long is 'eventually'? You have two different clock sources going on here. The clock in your computer and the clock in the PA3X. Without further testing it's up in the air as to which clock is slow or fast and by how much.

ian sorry mate but 2 different daws cant be wrong.
they were perfectly in sync before updating the keyboard as i do a lot of recording constantly.

after around 10-15 seconds you start to hear the daw going ahead of the keyboard.

look i don't mean to blow my own trumpet here but I know this keyboard inside out and the pa1x as well and the keyboard's clock is definitely slow

korg need to have a serious look at this cos it's not a nice problem to have.

Is there any reason you're not syncing the 3x to your DAW ?

Sorry what do you mean exactly?
