Syncing issue with N.I. 'Action Strings' [SOLVED]

[nigel paterson]

Having ensured that Logic is correctly configured to: " sync to an external source" & checked that my chosen figure from 'Action Strings' is showing the same tempo (in this case, 115 bpm), I have found on a few occasions that 'Action Strings' runs a fraction slow, the string figure even marginally out of time with it's own metronome. The discrepancy is tiny, but nevertheless, in a professional environment, unacceptable & unusable. Obviously, I could record 'Action Strings' first, & use that as my 'time keeper', but this is not always convenient or desirable. Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Musically,

Nigel.

You're talking about a Kontakt instrument, which is loaded in Logic as plug-in, right? There's no "sync to external source" to be done in Logic in such a scenario. The Kontakt instrument is the one syncing to Logic's clock anyway, not the other way around.

Jordito, thank you very much for your speedy reply. You are absolutely right, Kontact 5 loaded as a plug-in. The syncing issue is SOLVED. I'm most grateful for the info & for clarifying the situation,

Glad to hear it...can you please share the solution with us? Thanks!

The solution is simply that if I want to add a different string figure in the middle of my work, I can, because it now syncs perfectly with the existing material. Starting with 'Settings', I went to 'Synchronisation' & unchecked the box that says: "Sync to an external source" & reverted to the default settings for that page.

Many thanks once again,

Musically,

Nigel
