Minitaur midi clock synth problem

Post by marc1634 » Thu Aug 29, 2013 9:56 pm

Hi,

First of all, I am using a Akai MPK49 and a Minitaur.

Does anyone know how to to sync the midi clock between those two? The MPK would be the host and the minitaur the slave. The goal I am trying to achieve is to control the LFO speed with the tempo function (Manually or with the TAP tempo) on my MPK.

Thank You!

Make sure your MPK is set to send MIDI clock , NOT MIDI time code!
(It seems that in general, Moog gear doesn't work well with MIDI Time code)

You'll also probably want to restart your Minitaur if changing the time format is applicable in your case.

I use an MPK25 as the master clock for my Minitaur and Slim Phatty's ~
Works great!

Be sure to dig into the Minitaur's manual concerning it's MIDI implementation.
Once you get a multifunction MIDI controller like an MPK in the mix, it is possible to inadvertently turn things on or off via MIDI (been there, done that!), so it's good to be familiar with all the extra "under the hood" controls MIDI opens up for you.
