KORG WAVESTATION & CUBASE

I have been trying to figure something out for over a year and I guess I'm just slow, so I'm asking for help. I am Using Cubase (3SX) and Korg Wavestation is my favorite plugin instrument. When i use other VST instruments, any patches with a tempo automatically sync to the tempo I have Cubase set at. Not Wavestation. The tempo at which Wavestation plays does, indeed, vary with the tempo at which Cubase is set. but the tempo is not the same. When I raise and lower the Cubase tempo, the tempo of Wavestation raises and lowers as well, but the tempo is not the same. When I record a sequence with Wavestation and then try to play another VST instrument I have to either play perfectly in time or edit each note by hand, as the Wavestation sequence does not correspond with beats/bars as shown in Cubase. I have been all thru the Wavestation manual ad nauseum and cannot find how to adjust the tempo of a preset. Any Ideas??

What exactly does that mean?

It means that wave sequence step durations that are not 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc wont be in time with other things in sync with the same midi clock

I am having the same difficulty with a sequence that is programmed in an even number of steps (16 steps all with a duration of 8). The wavestation just seems to pick some BPM that is separate yet relative (as in the speed increases and decreases when I make changes to the timing on the DAW) to the internal clock of Cubase 3.

this might actually be due to the timing clock from your DAW not being very accurate

If other devices or soft synths had the same issue I might agree, but like the guy that started this thread I only have this problem with my wavestation. That leads me to believe (provisionally of course) that the problem is with the korg, and not my software. But I don't know, maybe Cubase 3 and the Wavestation EX just aren't 100% compatible. I don't have another DAW to test against, unfortunately....

Well, the softsynths won't be affected by midi timing slop, and some devices are better at handling this than others

Have you got any other hardware that sends midi clock that you can use to test the wavestation?
