midi clock problems

2006-02-05 by Sixtoo.1200Hobos

So I figured out my initial problems, but have a short question for  
the pros.

Basically it was an MPC issue (needed to turn on the Midi Clock in  
the main screen... for future reference to MPC4000 users, Midi Clock   
on the 4K is armed at the sequence level, so you can turn midi clock  
on and off depending on the need... a very good feature!).

Now then. I have my midi clock running into the analog sequencer, but  
it isn't very rhythmic. I would like to have the MIDI clock run my  
Analog Sequencer at 8 or 16th notes, but it seems to be on weird  
divisions that don't quite fall into beats. Do I need to have the  
clock divider in between the 190-MCVS and the Analog Sequencer to  
make it rhythmic, or can the 190 accept Midi Beat clock? I know that  
module is cheap, so If I need to get it, it is not a big deal... but  
it would be nice if I could just program the 190 down to proper timing.

Anyone have a fix here?






IN RESPONSE TO:

Hey Guys.

This is my first post here. I was thankful to find such a resource on  
the Doepfer site.

I borrowed an A100 off a friend a month ago, and quickly fell in love  
with the potential of the unit. I am not a synth head by any stretch  
of the imagination, more working with processed samples, but have  
already found some incredible applications for this system to my  
music. In the last couple of weeks I bought two A100 frames in order  
to build a 'processing filter mixer' for live sets (using my MPC4000  
as my main instrument, with multi outs being sent through dedicated  
Doepfer filters for specific sounds/ranges�syncd via A-190 Midi Box  
and A-155 Analog Sequencer)� This processing box sounds awesome, and  
I think it will be a lot of fun to use in my live sets.

I have basically decided to build something similar to the short- 
lived Sherman Filter-mixer, but with much more power behind it. 4ins,  
4 outs, Morph filters, step sequenced with the Analog sequencer� It  
is already sounding quite evil.

My current setup
(4) A-119s (Dedicated Analog Inputs from MPC outputs)
(4) ADSRs (for synth and filter applications)
190 Midi  Sync Unit
155 Analog Sequncer
107 Morph Filter
106 Xtreme filters
(2) 121 Multimode Filters
108 VCF
102 VCF
+ the usual suspect synth modules (2VCOs 2LFOs Noise, Etc.) and a  
couple 138 Mixers.

Up until now I have been using the Analog Sequencer to send CV pulses  
to different filters, clocked via the MPC using CV gates, programming  
a note on every 16th at the MPC�. I know there is a much better way  
to to this, but I cant get the 190 to respond to Midi Clock. Is there  
a specific Midi note/channel for Midi Sync operation or is there  
perhaps a defect with my unit� (I normally have no problem just  
setting my MPC to transmit Midi Clock on Channel 1, port 1, but for  
some reason the 190 isn�t picking up this info� do I need to set the  
preferences on this unit somewhere to accept Midi Clock Info?).  
Ideally I would like to be able to use the 190 to send Midi Beat  
Clock data info to the 155 Sequencer, while sending simultaneous note  
information to the Oscillators, for use of my A-100s as both a Synth  
and a Processing Mixer with a Sync�d clock on both uses, programming  
midi tracks in advance on the mutable-in-live-play MPC.

  Thanks in Advance, I am sure others expertise can help me out here.

Rob.
