I have a Midi Clock. (ACME-4)
When it starts, a Machinedrum starts and i want to sync the NL4 Arpeggiatoor to it.
The Problem is:
there is no reset what makes the Arp starting with the Beat. (with hold)
Its only tempo-synced. But it seems in a random position in the beat.

Any solutions or hints?

Ok,
if i Put MST CLK KEYBD SYNC to on, then it receives a reset.
But it syncs not to the swing from the ACME-4.
Sad.

This is because the Swing function is internal to the ACME-4 and cannot be transmitted or received via MIDI. It is not a problem with the NL4. No device will sync to the Swing factor.

He RedLeo,

you're wrong.

All my other devices sync to the Swing of the ACME-4.
That is one of the functions of the ACME.
The NL4 is the only one who don't sync to it. (the swing)

for instance see the video or visit the website from S-N-D if you do not belive in.

My bad. I skimmed through the manual too quickly and confused the MIDI and DIN/Sync output capabilities, where it says: Note! The DIN-Sync standard does not support all functions of the ACME-4. (!Swing)

Apologies.

What does the NL4 actually do? Does it simply not sync at all, or does it play "straight" against the swing?
