Maybe... don't know. But you might check out the Midi Cloch Sync settinig in the Numerology Preferences. It gives two choices: "More stable" or "More responsive". Also try to slave Logic to Numerology. I'm afraid I don't remember which ways I found the tightest. But someone on a Num forum said that "it's recommended so far to run Num as the master". So I guess your findings make sense. > when Numerology sends clock, the notes Logic records are all either 1 > or 2 ticks early > which is a lot easier to deal with. I'm afraid I never looked at the midi data recorded in Logic. Like you did, I noticed it was all systematically off, but this was very easy to fix by selecting all recorded midi sequences in the Logic arrange window and adjust the delay parameter by ear. I always adjust general delay/pre-delay by ear according to the synth sound used. > any further suggestions would be appreciated. The thing I like with Numerology is that you can change performance parameters instantly, which Logic can't. Thinking especially of "groove quantize", "note duration" and velocity for all playing tracks. So by preparing sequences in Numerology and recording them into Logic you can achieve feels that is just not possible to come up with in Logic. Since I got Logic 2.0 I've been dreaming about being able to change all play parameters with faders on the fly while the music is playing - and also recording these tweaks. Cubase SX took a step in this direction but I got the impression that the feature was just a lucky coincidence at Steinberg Developing Labs ;-) Numerology is seriously addressing this area.
