Elektron Musical Instruments

any idea of the wait for the next batch of Elektrons? Machinedrum and MM?

Hi,

I'm a new (proud! :-)) machinedrum user and having problems getting  
the MD sync to Ableton Live (or Logic Pro, tried both, no difference).  
The MD is set to external sync and the software is sending MIDI clock,  
should all be fine. I'm using clips in Live with single midi notes to  
trigger the MD's patterns, MD is inserted as external instrument plug- 
in. It doesn't work well - I always hear flams at the beginning of a  
new pattern cycle/change.
So timing-wise it's unfortunately completely unusable.. :-/
I tried adjusting all kinds of latency/compensation values like MIDI  
clock delay, track delay, etc. but nothing seems to really help.

Is anybody using such a setup successfully? Or has any idea...?


greetings,

Tom

Midi clock and accuracy are kind of always trouble. Put on top the fact 
that you tigger from the "slave" unit and you are bound to get flams. 
Have you tried putting live as a master ? At least then the clock pulses 
are more likely to be in sync with the notes you trigger.

The question of course is why use live to trigger sequences if you got 
the md in front of you :)

I dont know about logic, but you can use the clock shifting features
in live to nudge the timing a bit till it falls in sync.

I have the same problem.

I haven't any solution.

I am using Live as master already...

I've got tons of synth loops running from there...

I've always had trouble using a midi note to trigger patterns in sync. 
It's pretty obvious really. If the note is on the beat, when the 
sequencer sends the note, it's already late...

I generally run Live as a master, tweak the midi clock timing for the MD 
port until it's as good as it gets, and then send ProgramChange to 
switch patterns. (or, actually, usually I just record back to audio, and 
switch manually from the MD front panel).

In the past I never had any issues, but while recording the loops for
my Sticks and Stones compiliation yesterday, I could not get the midi
clock offset to work at all in Live 7.02.  Logic was ok for me, but
Live (master) would always record the MD (slave) just a tad late,
regardless of what offset values I used.  Very frustrating, I reported
it to Ableton, let's see what they say.

Tried using the MD as the master too, no difference suprisingly.

mmmhhh,midi-clock is not always late as you state ... I have a TB303 (midi-synced),Juno60 (arp's synced),Jupiter8 (ARP+LFO synced to midi);TR606,707,808,909... ALL ROCK-SOLID and midi-clock ultratight....and ofcourse my MONOMACHINE .... Well,it syncs ok but the other studio-stuff syncs better...I still use ATARI ST..ROCK-SOLID timing :-)
Options are : Buy an Atari ST,just place it out-of-sight if you're embarrased by it (I'm not I have 3 ) :-) Use it as master,slave your LOGIC PC to it and presto,rock solid midi timing like you've never heard before OR buy a dedicated timing device (like rosetta or this thing called BIG BEN)...It's incredible how your music's quality gets higher if using a dedicated timing controller...Ok,it's not audio BUT your quality increases enormesly as every midi-track is so much tighter...You have to hear it to believe it!!!
OR....have you tried ELEKTRON's TURBO-MIDI kit? Maybe this will solve MIDI-CLOCK issues?

Never said it was. I said that if you use a note on to start a pattern, 
and that note on is placed dead on beat, then the patterna start/change 
will be late due to the time it takes the note to get out via the midi 
interface to the MD, and the time it takes the MD to respond to it.

I'm not far off a very tight, tidy and cost effective solution if
you're interested...:)

Is the midi-clock more accurate if used with an Elektron Turbo-midi?
Could anyone please'o'please test it for me? (Just push the turbo-button OFF and hear if the midi-clock is better or worse with turbo on or off)
 
Thanks alot!

I think if you search the archives, you'll find there was no change. This is
purely from my memory though, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't any timing
improvements. Feel free to search.

I tested this with Ableton Live when the TM-1 first came out and found
no difference in timing.

Okay thanks for trying...
The Midi-clock timing trouble is definetely caused by the MnM or Drummachine then...
I'm sure because all my other gear sync very well to Midi-Clock..(except my Emu Orbit V2 but the midi-clock timing is rather too slow,not missing the clock regurarly like the MnM)
 
Oh please Elektron try to fix it!

I've had success thus far using Live 7 as the master for tempo through MIDI
but having the SPS-1 MK2 as the transport control.  So I trigger the
start/stop with the MD but control the tempo with Live.  I do still have to
play around with it some.  I'm using a USB>>MIDI cable also, which shouldn't
make a difference but you never know.  :)

Also, it always seems to be off in the beginning, but after a tempo change
with Live it seems to get into sync.  It's good enough to use in a
performance, I think.

Hi,
How do you map the MD Transport to control Live's transport? It seems
pretty straight forward, but I can't get it to work. I have CTRL Out
enabled on the MD. And my MIDI interface is seeing the START message.
But I can't get Live to respond. I can trigger the transport via other
MIDI events (note on, etc.) but I can't get MD's play button to start
Live. I apologize in advance if I'm missing something obvious, I just
got Live yesterday...
Thanks,
Nathan

In Live's MIDI preferences, make sure that you have the Sync and
Remote boxes activated for the MIDI input the MD is connected to.
Then make sure you click on the EXT box in the upper left of Live.
