    How much is slightly off beat? Are we talking 1, 10 or 100 milliseconds here? Would it be possible for you to upload an audio sample?

    Also, do you use AU or VST? Once we confirmed some very subtle sync problems with the AU version in Ableton Live, that was not apparent with the VST version. It was actually only reproducible when the user added some other manufacturer's AU effect (a particular one, but I don't remember which now). Our only sensible conclusion was that the problem had to do with AudioUnit's latency compensation.

    hi there,

    are there any plans to change this behavior? Currently I'm working on mac with live 9.1 and microtonic is off beat with live's latency compensation is activated. unfortunately I need the compensation because I use external intruments.

    Knut: I am not sure what I can do about this problem. Microtonic only adds 64 samples latency, so with or without latency compensation it should not sound like it is off beat. 64 samples is 1.4ms at most.

    Is this with the AU or VST version?
