ok. we have an issue here Jeremy.

you seem to be triggering qtractor from seq24 using the "monitor" facility over a MIDI track. right? check?

well, this is a bit of embarrassing to me, but, unless your jackd settings for audio frames/buffer are pretty short and small, say 64 or 128 frames/buffer, i'm afraid you *do* have a midi timing quantization effect on the results on your performance.

i must say that the qtractor MIDI monitor feature for instrument plugins are sort of an impromptu helper, to check if things are being correctly routed and, yes, captured. but not for an influx streaming, let alone a performance.

let's do an experiment: gently increase the jack period to 1024 frames/buffer for instance; then try to reproduce your composition. you'll certainly notice that the timing of all or any of the zynaddsubfx plugins aren't, say, the same. terror, caos, mayhem... the "groove" feel is, most probably, utterly broken and, adding injury to insult, it varies each time you play ... yep, that's what i'm talking about ...

i guess i'll have to cope to this new "trend" of using qtractor not quite as a sequencer per se but as a audio/midi mixer, ain't i?

cheers && great video btw (yada yada)
