It doesn't seem to sync to 5pin midi either.

My HXFX unit doesn't get the bpm from midi 5pin correctly. Midi Bass CH is Omni, Midi Thru is on, RxMidi Clock is set to Midi, TX midi clock is set to Off, and I've tried with tempo on global and preset. It doesn't work when downstream from multiple devices nor when it is the only device after the clock nor when there's a midi filter filtering out all messages except start and clock. In this first video the drum machine playing is sending clock to HXFX, which is set to read the tempo. Even accounting for starting the effect late, it doesn't stay consistently late. In the second video, it's a toss up what bpm the hx's tempo button jumps to when receiving clock.

Small update. According the the FB group, the status light doesn't run via the same clock or anything from the actual midi clock, so it may drift or be off, so I can theoretically stop worrying if it visually is off. However, since my effects audibly desync from the clock being sent, that feels like a bad open.

Chiming to say I have a new HXFX unit and it's on 3.5 and the problem persists. Really annoying. Submitting this to Line 6, again: So whether it's plugged directly into my brain (RC202) or downstream, my HXFX not only doesn't sync just right to midi, it doesn't even match the tempo of the lights. This is not an issue for my other gear, like my Arturia Keystep, Novation Circuit Tracks, or Roland MC101. It persists with multiple cables. This is also the second HXFX I've gotten my hand on. It's on 3.5, but my old HXFX I've had for previous firmwares and still had issues. [Recorded into audacity to see how the waveforms are wrong](https://youtu.be/q4j-H_2urNg).

I used a 5 din midi cable and tested my HXFX slaved to my Boss RC202, Novation Circuit Tracks, and my MC101 and it went off beat with all of them. The blue light didn't look off. I even have a mode that makes the blue pulse erratic on my mc101 and I turned it off. Those three boxes work when chained to each other so I don't think it's them. I did get this reply from Line 6, which could or could not imply its known about.

It's not even a problem of the LFO starting at the right time, it's that it doesn't maintain where it starts. If the LFO of the Tremolo has the volume up on say beat 2 and you leave it on, it'll drift from beat 2 to beat 3 to beat 4 and 1 and back around to 2 if given enough time. Was it via a midi cable? It may be jitter, which I hope not, but the other device listening to the source (which is a Circuit Tracks) is an MC101, and it seems to be fine. That said, maybe the 101 is really accepting, I'll have to do some experiments, because my RC202 can't take jitter from the Circuit Tracks. That said, I've asked people more knowledgeable than me if the Tracks has jitter, and I've gotten that *if* it does, it's .1, maybe .2 off.

I also agree it should, when you can click the knob to set it to follow a bpm, and that bpm is sent to the HXFX via clock, why wouldn't it? Is there any recourse? This is a big deal for the kind of music I'm trying to make.

Hey y'all, I've got my Novation Circuit Tracks sending bpm to my HXFX via midi clock, which it detects— the tap tempo switch turns blue and speeds up/slows down as I mess with the tempo. When I turn on a tremolo with the rate clicked so it matches to tempo, and 1/8 rate, it goes off. I want the "on" or "up" part of the tremolo to match to always hit on the downbeat, it is simply not locked. I've read online other people have experienced similar issues, what gives?
