No worries Tyler! Midi clocks can be an endless source of frustrationsTyler wrote:Thanks for the reply. In response to your parting question "is this what you want to/need to do?" Well, sort of, I guess my initial post was really aimed at sharing a remedy I found to help sync my Sub 37's arpeggiator and sequencer clock rate (that was drifting slightly) to the sequencer rate on my Arturia Moog Modular V soft synth. I was looking at the rhythmic potentials of working with these two instruments in tandem and became rather disappointed when I noticed them drifting together and then apart. Next I tried to slave the clock rate of one to the other & vice versa. This experiment (with the support of other Forum members (thanks)) was helpful but problematic on a number levels. So the idea of introducing a third party midi generated clock signal seemed promising. Now I have the result I wanted and the perk of using the MIDIClock+ is that I can set/change tempos on the fly and I can see the tempos I'm using. Whereas, previously, I could only guesstimate the tempo I was using based on the information provided by the Arp rate knob (on the Sub 37's side) and the virtual frequency rate knob (on the Arturia software interface side). Moreover, as I learned more about clock rate protocols/standards (ref., macProVideo tutorial Midi Demystified)... it was reassuring to hear from you, in knowing that I'm not alone in experiencing clock rate anomalies on the Sub 37's. Back at my initial post about the drifting issue I was kind of left with the impression that it was only my synth with this problem. Now I understand that clock rate incompatibilities in electronic devices is normal. Thanks ChiLam... your experience and feedback has been very useful.ChiLam wrote: I have not really come across any situation where you might attempt to run several sequencers together but all using their own individual clocks - is this what you want/need to do?
If you really fancy looking at some intricate info on the subject I can reccomend heading over to the "innerclock sync-gen" website - the guy is really obsessed with the subject and feels strongly about all your devices syncing together with sample rate accuracy! Fascinating read.
