Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Anybody having sync issues? My Evolver seems to drift when sync'd to Live 5. Plus any "clock 
divide" sequences I make seem to be ignored and playedat either 8th's or 16th, depending on 
what the main clock divide is set to. For instance I programmed a "gallop" sequence (8th, 
16th, 16th repeat) and it plays back at straight 16ths. Are these sequences overidden by 
incoming clock signals?
Thanks

Apparently ableton live has sync problems with some midi interfaces.
Check out their user forum, and see what interfaces users are having
success with.

i had the same problem you described -- i ended up setting the clock to internal (reading the same tempo as in live) and then restarting the seq. each bar/each

For me the tightest way was to make both Live and the
Evolver  slaves to my Machinedrum. Perhaps it will
work well just having Live as slave to the Evolver as
well. Give it a try. De paso \ufffdDe donde eres Mariana?

I love the fact that live has no problems being sync d externally. I am in the throes of a dilemma between using sx or live -- i love live because it can sync

i agree with the comparision between the audio engines in live and sx - and this is one of the most important issues for me. i like how sx sounds, but i can t

Brooks, In response to your question, it is not possible -- at least according to the book on sx that i have. i didn t have time to look in the manual, but i

ah, but isn't SX the cut-down version?  another reason to upgrade to the
all-bells-and-whistles version...

I found this kind of interesting. At least it confirms what we thought: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jun04/articles/cubasenotes.htm

i suppose the only solution would be to get a device that converts midi clock to midi time code. i wonder if those JL Cooper boxes would do that somehow...

I just can t believe one of the big three (two? four?) sequencers can t do the simple task we are asking it to. I am going to investigate again tonight.

Ron, Cubase SX only syncs to MTC - it will NOT sync to midi clock. I think this is the big issue as most hardware sequencers send midi clock only and not MTC.

let s all do ourselves a favor, throw our computers out the window, and buy more Evolvers.

It's Live 5 causing the problems. I can't use it to sync anything. Live 4 worked fine. I don't 
want to go backwards in order to move forward. What wrong with those Abeltons? 
Just glad it's not my Evolver. Though I have not tested out anything while sewuencing the 
Clock Divide. That was not working either. I'll go test that tonight.

Live 4 worked fine. 

if you've just downloaded ableton 5, then you need to go into your 
preferences and re-check which ports are enabled to send midi clock 
sync...it used to be able to only send clock via one midi port, but 
can now send on any or all, so this parameter will be reset after the 
reinstall.

hopefully this should help...i'm syncing tons of stuff on multiple 
midi ports and it works fine.

I've done what you suggested before my original post. Didn't work. I also have problems 
syncing moreht an one computer, via "Network Midi" or standard midi interface. I wonder 
are you on a Mac or PC. I wouldn't be suprised if these problems only happpened on the 
mac. They've been slow with their support for Mac in my opinion.
Thanks for the input.
