I'm pretty sure there is no midi clock in on the interface box so I have to use sync from my asq 10 but.. where does it go? into the interface box or on the back of the IIx?

It does seem to generate smpte though.. that should work right?

Nope, You need 384 ppq to do it correctly WT 11 maj 2012 kl. 22:05 skrev "elanb" <lobit12@yahoo.com>:

all of the options i've googled (garfield, src) are almost as hard to find as the fairlight itself! motu volta seems like an option although I would prefer to keep the computer out of the equation if possible. any way to 'multiply' a 96ppq signal? or would that not be accurate enough. what does everyone else on here use for sync?

Hi All. You don't mention what you're trying to sync to, but I assume it's a recorded track. Why not use SMPTE code? - that what it was designed for. In the old days, we "striped" (recorded) code on track 24 on the 2" tape, (which the IIX can generate). Then you just set up the RS page to chase sync SMPTE. For younger persons reading, the "chase" allowed you to drop in anywhere in the song, and within a few milliseconds the CMI would know where it was. Previous to this, you had to run from the top of the song everytime - even if you were working on the 4 outro bars! Hope this helps, Peter Wielk Horizontal Productions in sunny Sydney (where it's sunny, even in winter)

oh hey Peter, Elan here, I bought the fairlight from you.. yes well that's what I was thinking, Im trying to slave the machine from my midi sequencer (akai ASQ 10) and it does have smpte out. I guess Ill just try it and see. so what you are saying is it will sync but it won't receive a start signal from my sequencer if I have to restart it? --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "horiprod" <horizontal_productions@...> wrote:

Hi Elan. The IIX will start and sync from SMPTE. Just define the start point on (for example) RS, preferably a few seconds in, so the CMI has time to lock up. If you select "chase", RS will pick up where ever you drop in, so for example half way through a song it will find itself. Hope this helps, regards, Peter --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, "elanb" <synthy55@...> wrote:
