I just bought a m32 and I love the sound of it. But now I have sync problems with ableton live 9. I have checked the sync button in the midi preference on the the midi out. I also have a Elektron analog four which runs perfect in sync on the same midi channel. It feels like the sequencer starts to slow when I press play in ableton.
Hope there is not anything wrong with my unit.
Cheers

I have no problems syncing my Mother-32 with Ableton. I suspect the reason the tempo "starts to slow" when you press play in Ableton is because until Ableton is playing/recording, the Mother-32's tempo is not synced. Thus, your Mother-32's sequencer is running on its own tempo and then, when you hit play in Ableton, it is adjusting to Ableton's clock (which is slower.)
If this isn't the issue, it would be helpful to know your setup, as I have found the tempo tracking of the Mother-32 to Ableton to be very accurate. I am using "External Instrument" to send MIDI to, and receive audio in from, the Mother-32. In the MIDI settings I have "Track" and "Sync" set to on. (Though I turn "Sync" off if I am not utilizing the sequencer, since when "Sync" is on every time you hit play in Ableton it will start the Mother-32's sequencer.)
BTW, the LFO does not MIDI sync (which is a bummer.)
