sync problem (anybody using an mpc w/ an sp-404?)

I've got my mpc2500 synched to my sp-404 via MIDI. and every time I hit stop on the mpc and check the bpm on the 404, it's off by +/- 3 bpm. I know the 404 doesn't read decimals, but I've got my master tempo on the mpc at whole, even numbers. Has anybody had this problem?

you've definitely got the 404 in Slave mode?

i've synced MPCs to my SP and never had this issue, not sure what it could be

thanks for responding so fast!
hmm i thought it could only be used as a slave. i've got it in auto sync mode. should i use it in tempo sync?

tempo sync mode doesn't do it either. wonder what's wrong?

Well, the bpm is displayed wrong... but I guess they really are perfectly in sync.

Same shit with my 1k... but it's no problem for me, cause you're right they are abolutly in sync even if the display shows a different bpm.
