yea, the EP that know DJ will buy, lol.
Yea, it seems that BPM drift was not addressed at all in this update. It is not listed in the “fixed features” list.
It drifted before (when using its own external clock) and does the same now.
But somehow also exhibits that identical behavior when externally clocked.
This comment from the dev on FB regarding bpm/sync drift in V2.0 is a bit concerning,
“This is a compromise between bpm stability and latency. Some controllers send clocks with a lot of jitter. Typhon is stabilized at most within a quarter note due to heavy filtering but this can be reduced if deemed necessary.”
I let him know all the four different clocks I’ve sync’d it from, so hopefully that helps them narrow it down on their end. And hopefully it isn’t, indeed a “compromise”.
I’m pretty used to lack of latency and bpm stability on all my other gear, and have been for quite some time.
Let’s see what happens next.
For now, it’s external sequencing with the improved latency, and I’ll lay off the BPM sync’d internal modulation and FX (and just use Octatrack control when those are necessary)
