    @RIGGZ. Could you give more details? In what context do you experience that, in what DAW? At what tempo?

    @Jeremy_NI Logic pro X, 174 bpm. It is happening no matter the notes penciled in, short or long

    @RIGGZ. I couldn't reproduce the issue, is it happening for all presets with the sequencer/arp on? Does the issue also appears on slower tempos?

    Can you check if sync is set to Ext?

    @Jeremy_NI I am noticing the issue in Komplete Kontrol and have experienced it with multiple sounds.

    @RIGGZ. Oh I see, you hadn't mentioned Komplete Kontrol though. I can't reproduce it with Komplete Kontrol either. You can check these sync settings in Komplete Kontrol as well:

    If you want us to reproduce the issue please give as many details as possible, maybe give an audio example, a video or a short logic project. You can zip that and post here.

    @Jeremy_NI none of the recommendations fixed the issue so I moved on.

    Im getting the same issue, Ableton 12, windows 11, any patches with sequences drift out of time.

    Ive tried setting the kontakt bpm as well as having it synced to the DAW, still the same. Such a shame as Utopia is a great sounding synth, but its just unusable if it doesnt stay in time…

    I am also noticing this behaviour in Maschine 2 (v2.18.0)

    Utopia seems to slide off tempo after a few repeats through the step sequencer.

    This is loading Utopia with the first patch (Absolute Gen) in Kontakt 7 (v17.10.2)

    Repeatable by opening a blank Maschine instance, inserting a Kontakt 7 instance into the first sound and playing the first preset with a metronome. Even setting the rate to 1/8 it slips from the metronome. Sometimes it will double up on the first or last notes in the sequence (similarly to when the direction is set to random, but this happens with the direction set to forward)

    This happens even after a reinstall of Kontakt 7. I do not notice this behaviour when just using Kontakt 7 standalone. It seems to be an issue when it is used inside of Maschine

    Something seems to be causing issues with the sync from Utopia to the rest of Maschine.

    Please see if you can repeat this

    I finally stopped using it all together, quite a shame because I really like it

    I've just acquired this. And I'm getting the same issue. Studio One 6.6.3.1 Pro. Windows 11. Utopia 'Utopia' preset at 120 BPM. The timing wanders all over the place. If I loop it, the loop stabilizes after a few run throughs. That's MIDI (quantized notes). If I export to MP3 - I get the same issue. I have not tried it bounced to audio.
