I have my hardware setup all synced through midi din and recently got a tascam model 12 to get my hardware jams running through Ableton to actually make use of them.
I’ve been able to get everything synced up and playing from Abletons clock through my model 12 into my octotrack which feeds the rest of my system through a midi splitter with the sacrifice of my launch control/octotrack volume control.
My issue: for my dawless setup I have a midi host sending midi controller information from my novation launch control xl to my octotrack as a independent mixer control for the track levels. My midi host also has a midi input. I tried to send the clock through that midi input in hopes it would merge with the controller midi to the octotrack but it does not work. If I remove the launch control from the equation and run the midi din from the model 12 to the octotrack, everything works as it should, however I’d like to have the independent track volume control still. I have to look into my midi host documentation and see if it’s even built to work that way but I thought I’d ask the experts on if a separate midi merger would be ideal for sending Abletons midi clock into octotracks midi din along with my midi host sending controller info from the launch control simultaneously?
Awaiting an answer before I press buy on this midi merger. Thanks in advance.
