How to sync w/ a multi-track recorder?

How to sync w/ a multi-track recorder?

2003-05-29 by ridszero

I set everything up right on my recorder, but when I pressed the 
record+play buttons to trigger the Evolver, the Evolver didn't start 
the sequencers. I don't see any MMC or MTC on the Evolver. Is it 
possible to sync to a recorder and have the Evolver start playing 
when you hit record? I can't figure this out. hmmm

I was hoping someone could help me out with this. I can record 
something like my RM1X since it has MMC and MTC so my recorder can 
trigger it to start recording. But I can't get it to trigger the 
Evolver. I don't know what I'm missing.

MTC would have no meaning to a step sequencer being an absolute time
code. You need to send the Evolver MIDI clock in order to sync it up.
Can your recorder send this (my Roland VS-880 can and it's pretty old
so you should be able to do it)?

yupp..but there is a VERY annoying bug that dont make
evolver to start when you hit record on your
multirack.. you have to start/stop manully and search
for the looppoint by using the resetbutton.
but it uses the masterclock thoe.
but that bug MUST be fixed! i want to be able to use
it live.
peace out.
peter.

?? When I hit the start/stop button on a device that's feeding the evolver
midi clock sync, the evolver stops/starts as you might expect...

scenario: i push start on my mpc that sends clock to
evolver, evolver starts but the sequenser is "offbeat"
but has the same bpm as the master(mpc) so to find the

I don't think that your Evolver is defective. If you stop a sequence and
restart the sequencer via an external start command it will not restart from
the first step of a sequence but a the point where it had been stopped
before. I don't know if that can be called bug or if it is a feature.
In Cubase I can avoid this by sending a note together with the start comand.
Then the sequencer starts at the beginning of the sequence.

Not sure if this is of any help for you ;-)

Regards
Stefan
