arpeggiator starts randomly

[fccmt]

Alo, how do you manage when you want your arpeggiator to start in the first tempo?
I put it synchronised with the master clock. Sometimes it starts on the first tempo sometimes randomly...and it's driving me nuts because, it's almost impossible to be recorded.

Thank you!

How are you enabling the arp? If you have latched the arp on either slot and the slots the arp will continue playing which could keep the master clock going. I'm just throwing this out because I don't know what it could be but always make sure to turn the "hold" function off before disabling the slot. So hit the synth enable button and press the black hold button to disable it. It could be possible that your LFO is set without the master clock enabled and valued somewhere that makes the arp sound like it's starting off the beat. This is all blind speculation on my part though so good luck.

Thank you for your help KyleM. I followed your instructions but unfortunately it didn't work. Also, (sometimes) there's some kind of delay or latency between the moment I press the keys and the sound reaction (outside the box, not recording)...I suppose that could be related with a half cycle of the arp or something in between

The master clock oon the NS2 is "free run", it is not triggered by the key press so what you observe is normal, in this context. Try to use it withouth Master Clock instead, to see the difference.

or try feeding the Nord with clock data from external source...

Alo maxpiano, first of all thank you for your help!

Ooh that makes plenty of sense,I was not aware of it, thank you

I've tried without the MC but it didn't help...the behaviour was more or less identical...

Alo Pablo, thank you for your comment and suggestion. That's a good one, I'll try that, for sure
