RE: [analogue-sequencer] Midi clock trigger

2004-11-28 by Jesper

Phew, I finally got them in sync, thanks to all for helping.
Colin, I would still love the midi trigger thing, but it is not essential 
anymore ;)

If anyone cares this is what I learned.
I tried filtering out the "F8-Midi timing clock" signals using Midi-OX, but 
neither the P3 nor the Electribe were happy with it. The P3 didn't start 
and the Electribe didn't sync properly.
Using Midi Machine Control was a great idea, but apparently it only works 
if the controlled devices send back a sysex string telling "I'm running 
now, you can start too". I tried to send the sysex string from Midi-OX but 
I never got Cubase started.

So what I ended up with is this:
 From Cubase I send MTC and Midi Clock to Midi Yoke (a virtual midi port).
In Midi-OX I filter out all "F8-Timing Clock", but let Midi start and Midi 
stop pass thru.
To send midi clock to the P3 I use Midi-Ox's MIDI sync transport. In the 
MIDI sync transport I select both "Send clock" and "Sync and send MTC 
concurrently".

The MTC part isn't necessay, but I felt the sync was a bit tighter when I 
used it.
So basically Cubase is sending the start and stop signals, and Midi-OX is 
sending all the timing signals.

I'm sure this doesn't work tomorrow,
Jesper.
