Hi,
I’d like to convert or merge MTC with Midi Clock - is that possible? Would the MidiHub get this done?
In a simple case, have Yamaha O2R, ALESIS HD24 and midi chain e.g Yamaha RX5 and Electeon Digitakt all synced up so that hitting play/ play record on the master device (i dont care which is master) triggers transport on all connected devices.
Anyone know how to get this up and running? Case of beer up for grabs - will ship internationally.
(I’ve got a JLCooper dataSYNC2 coming in a week or two - so will be trying this route. Anyone done this?)
Cheers
Hey, the MTC contains only the absolute position of the transport, but it does not contain any tempo information, therefore, inferring the BPM (required for MIDI clock) from MTC is not possible.
If using devices that support MTC, each device is supposed to know the tempo on their own.
What is your use case for this? Are you trying to sync a video to music?
Essentially, I need to sync transport of the HD24’s to my midi chain so that my drum machines and sequencers play/ stop and are in time with the material played from the HD24’S
My current problematic use is: I record one pass with my sequencers on to the Alesis HD24’s. For example the Roland J6 playing a sequence and the Yamaha DOM30 playing a sequence that is recorded on the HD24’s. Now I need to record another pass with an arp from the J6 and another baseline from the DOM30 on to different tracks of the HD24 - i need the timing to be precise or the groove is broken.
Currently, I have to hit record on the HD24 and listen to monitor playback and then attempt to hit play on my midi chain at the precise moment - this wastes so much time and kills my creative flow.
Do you know how I can sync things so either HD24 transport also triggers my midi chain to play/ stop and remain in time? Or, my midi chain transport trigger play/ stop on the HD24s? I am happy to achieve this either way.
Hope to hear back from you.
Cheers
I’m looking into using JLcooper dataSYNC2 as a method of recording a tempo map track to keep everything together.
Another option I am looking into is using a Yamaha YMC10 to do a similar thing. Albeit the YMC10 process involves recording the midi clock signals as an audible track on the HD24 whereas the JLcooper dataSYNC2 essentially hosts this tempo track.
