Do me a favour and use several tracks with hexter, e.g. 4 tracks and at
least one track with another instrument plugin, e.g. fluidsynth or
linuxsampler with drums. And set jackd's buffer size to a big value,
e.g. -n 2 -p 2048. I need such sizes when mixing songs with lots of
tracks and plugins. The bigger jackd's buffer size the more obvious the
timing issues became. Please use fast-attack, percussive hexter sounds
to check if the notes are in sync (xylophone). It would be very
interesting if this issue still exists.
