i have the same problem sometimes when using ext sync.. it could be a bug that comes along with midi retrofit installation. i cant say for sure, bcs i had mine retrofitted with Encore right away, seller shipped direct to my tech. i never heard it wihtout the midi.


when slaving it to my DAW midi clock, i had success with nudging the problematic notes ahead a few ticks, then it caught them ok. this solved most of the issues when i use it in midi arrangement.


however, this doesn't sound good when you want to play it live, slaved arp. since i use it live w RS7000, and have some other analog equipment sequenced midi->cv/gate, i tired feeding analog 5V clock to the the JP8 arpeggio input on the back and.... VOILA !!!

it is as tight as possible, as its midi sync can never be, no jumping notes when changing chords etc. flawless.




@golden beers: that is interesting, that kenton retorfit is 100% accurate. every jp8 i tried had this issue.. i was pretty sure its impossible to get it tight... that it was up to JP8 design , not the retorfit itself. .. and encore was highly recommended by many jp8 users, but alas... its shows the same symptoms..
