Explain what you mean? It’s too vague.

It is known issue with Octatrack that it doesn t properly sync to external clock, especially when changing patterns.

It’s still being worked on for all Elektron boxes:

According to who?

What problem are you actually experiencing?

So you say it s the same with all the Elektron boxes?

I’m saying that there’s an acknowledged issue to do with syncing two or more current Elektron boxes when they are each running their own scale menu settings. But this will get fixed at some point in the near future, I hope. As for syncing OT or DT with other gear, I’m not aware of any issues.

I had a Digitakt for years, never experienced any midi sync issues (except for some Ableton shenanigans pre-overbridge) and it was usually synced to an external midi clock.

Don’t know anything about program change issues, never used program change messages.

I’ve had an Octatrack for six months and haven’t experienced any MIDI issues (again, have used as master and receiver for midi sync, but haven’t used program change messages).

When switching patterns manually, I haven’t experienced any MIDI or sync issues with any Elektron devices.
