If it’s in the manual, I’m guessing it can’t be improved much, although they do release a firmware to improve the sync latency that is also described in the manual.

Dont change kits in live play. The floor will empty.

it won’t be an issue for me, indeed only use 1 kit per song and live i would play with others that also play synths. so transisions would be easily made by my bandmates.

That’s why you have dub sirens and gun shot samples 
ah how I miss the days of seeing Dopplereffekt playing live and having to load new samples from 3,5 inch floppy disks in the ESI-32 sampler between every song…

Well I’m not returning the 1000. My plan is to assign decay to morph slider, tighten the beats if I want to change a kit-pattern.

for the sake of being thorough, even though im not introducing a daw into my setup, I clocked my MPC and TR1000 to my Nome2 directly to see if that helped…Nome2 as master, MPC and TR each receiving clock from the midi out 1 and midi out 2… same exact behavior.
I’m not returning mine either. All my initial gripes still stand but they’re minor compared to how amazing this sounds. I’m triggering from Cubase and with the Synced Gens option it’s absolutely fine.

What about syncing not from midi but analog clock?
Are you triggering patterns on the 1000 or just the instruments?
Just the instruments

The only scenario I can imagine this gap thing being a real issue is if you’re trying to perform live using only the TR-1000 and you are trying to transition from one very busy pattern to another abruptly. That feels like a weird use case to me. I imagine most people performing live with it will have other gear on stage with them. And even if you don’t, just strip back to a sparse beat, switch patterns, and build it back up. This issue feels completely overblown to me.

you gotta have something that can send multible shifted clocks out for the different machines. like multiclock or cirklon. nome just sends the same clock on both afaik

i’ve never used cv/gate on any of my synths but the MPC and the TR both have ins and outs for cv/gate…if someone can describe how i would set that up for clock between the two, i can give it a go later this evening

The 5 ms or 50 ms situation?
I was planning on trying this setup myself (not mpc but another drum machine) and still do, I’ll lyk how it goes. Thanks for the update
The “old school” stuff had no latency
And no kits to swap

Exactly.
