MM Midi trouble

MM Midi trouble

When midi clock is set on "external", sync of MM is incorrect and MM 
doesn't follow external tempo changes. Can anybody confirm this?

Thx, Nik

I hooked up the MnM via midi for the first time last week.  No 
problems with sync to MD - MnM as master.  Problem occurred when I 
hooked up sync to a windows based computer running sonar or pro audio 
(can't remember which).  I was simply recording the audio of the 
different tracks individually with midi sync.  When the computer was 
the master, the mono freaked out after about 6 bars and started 
playing random notes (the computer wasn't sending any MIDI except for 
transport).  Then I switched the computer to slave/MnM to master and 
the computer ended up stopping recording each time at ~1min due to 
some crazy error.  Rebooted and did all the typical troubleshooting 
stuff with both devices.  Both of these errors recurred each time.  
HOWEVER, at no time were the devices out of sync (MD was part of the 
loop the whole time - no problems with it.)

Bottom line, MnM likes to play alone.

maybe you had the MnM sending too much MIDI data? try sending just transport
and MIDI Clk and see if that helps...

he plays fine with all my various other MIDI instruments :-) but I haven't
tried computer integration yet (cuz that's not really my thing).

Having problems syncing Monomachine from pro Tools. It works fine as a 
master for my Evolver or the way round with my evolver as the master but just 
doesn't like talking to Pro tools. Act very erraticly.

Did you sort this out?

I've got it running with the monomachine answering to my DAW as slave.   
Never had issues....

There are two configurations under which I've had it working, if it  
helps at all:

- PowerBook, OS X 10.3.x running Logic Gold 6, sending clock to  
Monomachine via emagic EMI A62m's 1x1 MIDI

- XP Pro Desktop running Samplitude 7, sending clock to Monomachine via  
Edirol UM880
