I just posted about this in the Propellerhead forums to see if it was just me and I don't believe it is; just nobody has really noticed and/or said anything.
First I want to mention how the RPG-8 behaves when played while recording. Lets say you created a song that's 60 BPM and turned on the metronome click so you could hear the beat while playing. You then press record and then begin holding a few keys down on the keyboard to push MIDI to the RPG-8. Even if you pressed those keys down 0.9 second before the next beat you'll have to wait 0.9 second before you hear RPG-8 actually start to play. The intention of this is to ensure that what you hear coming from the RPG-8 is synced to the beat. The bottom line here is that you don't have to be perfectly on time when starting your performance and can lead the RPG-8 just a hair and it will sync up with the beat for you.
Now the Antidote. Simply put, this doesn't happen at all. If you hit record and then press some keys down 0.9 seconds before the next beat you don't wait at all to hear the ARP in Antidote start to produce sound and if you hold those notes down every thing coming out of antidote will sound 0.9 seconds early. The consequence of this is that you must ALWAYS start your performance perfectly on time, and that can be difficult to do even with a 4-count pre-click. I don't think the ARP should perform like this, or at the least should have a button that would allow me to force it's performance to play back in sync with the tempo. It's very distracting to try and record something when it takes three or four tries to start the notes perfectly on time at the start. This holds true even if you have note quantization enabled in the sequencer. The only "work around" for this at present is to ignore out-of-sync playback while trying to record something and then go back to manually edit note placement if it turns out what you heard while performing ends up becoming something slightly different due to quantization doing to your notes what Antidote should have been doing to your live performance and waiting until the start of a beat the begin its sequence.
