Sync tempo on mother X2 with the patch bay?

Post by spacewizardinspace » Mon Jan 11, 2016 3:19 am

Hello!

pretty new to all of this, but how would I go about synching the clock of two mothers running sequences using the patch bay no midi?

Cheers and thanks!

This one is easy.

On the basic setup pages, page 3 gives you tempo receive options. Set it to option 2 (single clock advance mode)

Page one gives assignable out options - set it to option 2 also (clock)

Now depending on if you patch assignable out from M32-1 or M32-2 to the other one's tempo in, you will get sync.

You can also get them to both start by starting the sequencer on the first one with assignable out going to tempo in of the second.

You only need to start the second one's sequencer manually the very first time. Pressing stop on master M32 will now stop both sequencers and pressing start again on master M32 will now start both sequencers until you once again press start/stop sequencer button on the slaved one. Until you decouple them by pressing start/stop again on the slaved one's sequencer, the slaved one's note buttons will not trigger notes. Once decoupled by pressing slaved one's start/stop sequencer button, it triggers notes again on the slaved one's keys and acts independently with only clock sent.
