Dear Martin,
thank you very much for your reply.

I sent timestamped OSC bundles from the UNIX sendOSC app to PD on the
same machine.

Would be great if things could be solved just by adding and hour :-)
I am currently in the UK and my machine is set to GMT. However, I
will try just adding another 3.6 million milliseconds..
Thanks again!
