Can the A-100 and Ableton Live play nice?

Can the A-100 and Ableton Live play nice?

2008-01-10 by junglephone

Hello All,

I am attempting to play the A-100 with the Ableton Live 7 arpeggiator. It works except 
that at random points, there is a "hiccup" in the rhythmic flow.

I tested the arp with sofsynths and had no problems.

I have played with the A-140 to see if it effects the timing. 

I have sent the gate from the 190 straight to the vca.

I have played with the buffer settings in Live. My MOTU 828 mkII is synced to an Apogee 
Big Ben so one would think audio is rock solid. (PPC Mac DP 2.0G, OSX 10.4.11)

Am I missing something? 

Nothing useful from the Ableton forums yet. I know this isn't a DAW forum but....

Any ideas, fixes, etc. would be most appreciated.   

Thanks in advance.

Adam G

Thanks for the response!

It's not that steps are dropping out because of a note range issue. I'm getting all the notes 
I play. It's that the rhythmic timing of the stream of notes (16th notes for instance) 
glitches at random moments. In other words, the timing is not solid.

Thanks again,

Adam G

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. 

I'll try it.

Re: Can the A-100 and Ableton Live play nice?

2008-01-10 by junglephone

Understood. This is a very plausible explanation.

I'm trying to find a way to filter MIDI data in Live but so far, nothing. 

I created a template in the Novation with no Aftertouch hoping that would help but it 
didn't.

I'm starting to think a more robust MIDI to CV might be in order? (Sorry Dieter ;-))

Thanks,

Adam G

I'm not a pro with it, but the (aweomse) freeware "midi-ox" can
probably help you filtering and monitoring the midi datas you're
sending to your A190. There's a link at the bottom of the main
Doepfer.de webpage for download.
Hope that helps !
Max.

I could imagine that this is an delay caused by an high of the A-190s 
MIDI buffer by an large amount of MIDI messages. I don't have a A190 but 
I know similar behaviour from other MIDI-CV interfaces (e.g. the 
MS-101), or from old MIDI-synths. Usually these delays it do not stand 
out, but the regular rythmic structure of arpeggios makes them "visible".

You should check that no other ableton track/element sends to this 
MIDI-Port - also for other MIDI-Channels.

The word "load" is missing here. This should read like:

....that this is an delay caused by a high load of the A-190s MIDI 
buffer due to an large amount of incoming MIDI messages.

Re: Can the A-100 and Roland MC-4 play nice?

2008-01-10 by Adam-V

Hi Dave,

the MC-4 output levels are as follows:

CV: 0-10.4V (1V/O) 
Gate/MPX: 0V off 12V On
Ext Sync output 0-5V

So, I reckon there should be no problems.

I haven't used my MC-4 that much since I picked it up, only to give it
a bit of a test but it seemed to work fine for me except I couldn't
get it sync to an LFO or the clock from the A154/155. Syncing the
A-154/155 to the MC-4 clock did work though.

Cheers,
Adam-V

No ther is no (but the Sync setting in the preferences)

I don't think it is the interface. It is MIDI (internal softsynths are 
controlled by very faster APIs). Try to connect only the a190 to this 
MIDI-port (not channel! Port!). And then check your arpeggio.

It is also well known, that the MIDI timing of ableton is not the best 
until Version 6.x. Its told that the new Version7 is much better in MIDI 
timing than the older ones.


Florian

Re: Can the A-100 and Ableton Live play nice?

2008-01-10 by junglephone

Florian, thanks.

I'm running Live 7 and the A100 is alone on its port. 

I started using Live's external instrument plug-in (with the arp going into it) to trigger the 
A100 and I have noticed some improvement but not a total fix. Fortunately I can fix the 
timing of the audio file in Live later. If anyone else has any ideas, please keep them 
coming. I'd like to solve this issue once and for all. The only rhythm glitches I want are 
ones I intend, ya dig?  :-)

Thanks everyone.

Adam G

Thanks Adam
I received my MC4 yesterday so I letting it climate adjust for a few  
days before powering up
I cant wait to try out--do you prefer the A154/155 over the MC4?

thanks Dave

Re: Can the A-100 and Roland MC-4 play nice?

2008-01-13 by Adam-V

Hi dave,

In my opinion, they're both great sequencers and the A-155 finds it
way into nearly every one of my patches but they do excel in different
areas.

The A-154/155 is far more immediate and more useful for experimenting
as you can just twist the knobs until you get something you like.

The MC-4 is not as immediate in that you can't really adjust it in
real time; you actually need to program it step by step which can be a
bit difficult given that you need to know which numbers represent
which notes and punch them into the keyboard (I've yet to experiment
with the CV record function) but it does have 2 CV outs on each of the
4 channels and the ability to save sequences is an obvious benefit. On
that, you can actually use a portable MD or MP3 recorder such as a
Zoom H4/H2 or similar instead of a tape recorder to save your
sequences. The MP3/ATRAC encoding doesn't cause any issues - you just
need to get your levels right.

If you've got any other questions about the MC-4 I'm more than happy
to answer them if I can. Just shoot me an email.

Cheers,
Adam-V

Hi there

since you got the topic, maybe you'd know the answer to my problem
i use live 8 with a100 through a190 and i actually don't get how the clock of a190 work. it runs wild and out of sync (tryed to divide it with a160 - still out of sync). i do send my sync messages from live. want that clock, so i could run sequenser using live's timing. 
am i being too silly and not understanding something obvious?

Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Can the A-100 and Ableton Live play nice?

2012-11-29 by Bakis Sirros

hi Ilja,

the midi clock is not very accurate when syncing the A100 with the Ableton Live.
it helps if you have to use the reset out of the A190, patched to the reset input of the A154+a155 too.

but, again, sometimes the A100 seems synced to midi and sometimes not.

(its a problem of the midi clock, not of the A190)

the best syncing you can get via two cv/gate to midi channels. ( i use the MCV24 for this) :

you create a pattern of 16th notes in a channel of Live and the note gate out from that midi channel, you send it to the clock input of your modular sequencer (A155 for example). 
then you create a pattern with one note at its very beginning, in another midi channel and you send the note gate from that channel to the reset input of your sequencer. (you can arrange the 'clocking' notes and the 'resetting' note just as you like!) rock solid timing and plenty of crazy clocking and resetting possibilities too. works fine all the time.

(Ingo Zobel gave me that simple and great tip, many years ago...)

thanks,
Bakis.

Better yet, ditch MIDI altogether.
