Re: [elektron] Can MD control all midi

2006-02-22 by cenk sayinli

Yes i sync it up with live and reason and i get the same bpm switching(119- 121 and stuff like that) on reason.
  But i think the timing is pretty correct.I would nt think the MD is gonna screw up like that:)

  thank you for that.

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)

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?
