I am not sure how I should describe this better. That is resulting in all my machines (and their audio) to go offbeat in a Live mixer. And this is happening only in Live (I tried other DAWs and they compensate MIDI sync perfectly when I add UAD plugins in a session). Whenever I add a plugin which introduces some sort of delay in a signal path (like UAD plugins) it seems to me that MIDI sync which is coming out of Live isn't properly adjusted. This is not my main issue here so please follow me. Sync is not tight, it fluctuates a bit but let's face it, it fluctuated in tiny margins in every other DAW I tried. All fine sound coming from RS7000 is in sync with everything else inside Live. To get audio from my (for example) RS7000 I am using the External Instrument plugin found in Live. So when I press play in Live my hardware also starts playing. I set up midi correctly and I select that Live sends midi SYNC (start and stop) out to these machines. Here is what I am doing in my production so far. And I am sequencing beats on hardware but I would like to do the same in software as well (to combine best of both worlds) So anyway I have a Yamaha RS7000, Roland TR8S, Roland TR 909, QY-700 and other drum machines and sequencers (yes I love hardware drum machines and hardware sequencers) which run their own sequencer. I am finding Live workflow somehow better for me but I am getting into myriads of frustrating problems whenever I want to integrate my hardware with it. I used Live for years but my main DAW was Cubase. So apologies in advance if I am asking something silly but I would greatly appreciate help from the people who own ERM devices.Īllow me to explain. But in order for me to not do something stupid like purchase something which won't end my problem I really need to explain everything to you. I have a big problem and this will be quite a lengthy response. The short story - it does sound like you will need another device, but it’s been months since your post so I am sure things have changed a little since then for you. Just get an MPC one and a kenton thru box and you will be set. Since you can get some MPC’s for pretty good prices, like an MPC one, that would be the way I’d go about it. ![]() An MPC makes this whole exercise way easier, as would a Cirklon or similar device that can record MIDI notes and CCs. So for drum machines, it is best to use their onboard sequencers clocked by the ERM. But if you are sequencing drums or bass from your PC to hardware, it probably will. For pads and synths, this may not be a huge deal. Without a hardware sequencer that can capture the sequences you made, your MIDI from the PC even going through the ERM will have some jitter in it. So then the MPC captures the sequence I made in the PC, but since the MPC is synced to the ERM, the MIDI that gets recorded gets quantized to whatever swing and note length I set, and everything plays in sync. What I do is send the MIDI to my MPC, and set that MPC track to record. I like to merge everything into the ERM’s DIN channel connected to my MPC. ![]() It can be routed in many ways on the ERM. It just passes it through the ERM to the connected devices. The ERM absolutely sends MIDI data but it is not synced. Ricky Tinez' video is also a weird situation as he's speaking mainly in his experience with daisy chaining, which again isn't applicable to me either. This ERM multiclock research is frustrating because all the youtube videos seem to have external sequencers controlling note info, so I can't figure out if the ERM can send midi notes and keep them synced as well. Using USB midi to my Behringer Model D for example, if I set 1/4 notes with a gate square wave, I can see there's there's still latency. I'm not sure if a midi cable going into the MIDI-in of the TR09 will actually be any better as it's still USB over midi to the midi interface (whereas I assume a multiclock would be constantly resetting it's midi clock to keep it in time).Ģ. Midi sync to my TR09 has been extremely unstable, it won't stay in time to my DAW at all. Right now I'm just using midi and what I've noticed is.ġ. Hmm, I've done a ton of browsing and it's odd to me how some people seem to run midi interfaces like the iconnectivity and have no issues.
