Guest gron Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Sorry to post yet another sync question but.. Would a simple USB-MIDI interface (9$ from ebay) work to drive a x0xb0x or a 707 with a MIDI clock signal from Logic? I have the following setup: 707 is master: 707 drives x0xb0x over MIDI 707 drives 606 over DINSYNC 707 drives 101 over CLK I would like my DAW (Logic) to be master so that I can layer multiple tracks without the 707 going out of sync.

Guest analogue wings Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 the 707 wont be master to anything else if you slave it to something. does your x0xb0x have a Thru? try putting the DAW after the x0xb0x and keeping the 707 as master of all Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/50258-cheapest-way-to-sync-a-daw-with-x0x/#findComment-1155231 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want the 707 to be master because the tempo comes straight from an analog pot so it shifts easily. I think I will try: Logic controls x0xb0x over MIDIin x0xb0x controls 707 over MIDIthru x0xb0x controls 606 over DINSYNC 606 or 707 controls 101 over CLK But this requires the x0xb0x to be both master and slave; I dunno if it's possible. And I still don't know if I can output a MIDI clock signal from Logic over a cheap USB-MIDI interface-- anyone done this?

Guest analogue wings Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 midi clock goes across all channels Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/50258-cheapest-way-to-sync-a-daw-with-x0x/#findComment-1155329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berk Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) I wouldn't waste my money on one of those cheap USB-MIDI cables. I bought one from Hong Kong once for 10 euros, it couldn't handle much. When I tried to upload patches I made on my computer to my Yamaha DX200 (Desktop FM Module), it let me down, an error message popped up on the DX200 screen, and it disappeared as soon as I tried it with an EMU 1x1 MIDI-USB cable. edit: MIDI Clock signal might work though...

Guest elliot Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 lol when i got my midi usb cable in small print on the box was 'Does not support yamaha' so much for my dx-7 linkage which was why i got the thing! my friend used x station midi thru and managed to clock the 707 from ableton so that you could trigger drum sounds Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/50258-cheapest-way-to-sync-a-daw-with-x0x/#findComment-1155373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 not sure why anyone wouldn't just get a midi interface for their computer instead of a USB --> midi cable, sounds like a disaster waiting to happen Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/50258-cheapest-way-to-sync-a-daw-with-x0x/#findComment-1155570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marf Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 get the innerclocksystems sync-lock box It syncs your DIN device (303, 808, etc) to a pulse SAMPLE from your DAW. Which means it is in perfect sync to a sample. Not to a sloppy, jittery midi clock. Its worth it.

Guest poly Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) I've got a similar problem. I needa sync my novation nova with reason 4. Wouldn't wanna spend the money on a sync-lock box just yet, but a usb interface with midi out would do the trick, right? (tascam us-1641 is what I've got in mind, anyone have any experience with these?)
