Re: [elektron] Can MD control all midi

2006-02-22 by tahvenaine2002

As explained to me by Daniel from Elektron, the varying of bpm is some
kind of rounding error coming from the one-way-nature of midi
protocol. So the bpm isn't displayed accurately (because it cannot be
done?), but the MD should be in tight sync. Do test with recording
audio and see how tightly they sit on a grid (you might have few ms
(1-3) difference, but it doesn't matter)

reader is displayed in  MD it is not a constant reading recieved from
PT5; varying between about 0.7BPM eg what should be 120BPM in/PT5
gives a reading that swings between 119.7 to 120.5 in the MD display.
At the very least it's distracting. Do you get this with PT6 as a master?

PT5 being slaved to MD. Can this be done as PT5 only responds to MMC
(midi machine control) messages. I'm guessing PT6 responds to a much
more up to date midi language/code?
