Actually, from what I get of the reading of the manual, it's going to depend on the pattern, but in general, they should sync. The manual says 'rhythmically' and 'hamonically', and when I use it, it seems to generally sync when I'm listening with the metronome on.
However, the manual does state that some files are created in 'free mode'. If that's the case, then they get quantized to the nearest 1/128 note, which (I guess) should mean they are still on time, but at such a small resolution, may be tough to discern if they are drifting off time.
Speaking of drifting, I'm one of those who have seen midi note timings all over the place in previous versions of Sonar. Since I have just recently started X2, I haven't tried it now, but CW has stated they have re-written a bunch of the Midi processing, so I'll have to see if it's better. Some other posts I've seen says it has not gotten better.
