I’m relatively new to the Elektronaut family, and have been enjoying my new Digitone for over a week. I love that I can use Overbridge seamlessly to get all my tracks into Ableton Live.
My one problem is I cannot get the Digitone to work as the master clock. I’ve been trying and reading articles for days, and nothing works. I want to be able to control the BPM of my project via the Digitone.
No matter what I do, if the midi clock is sync’d to Ableton I cannot adjust the BPM via the Digitone.
My goal is to work almost exclusively on my Digitone (and a couple other hardware synths/samplers), and when my tracks are ready, record them as loops into Ableton. I prefer using my Digitone as the brain of the whole set up.
You need to have clock send and transport send active in DN
You need to select Midi Sync in that bit that shows all devices with first one/sync/remote
You need to select the 1st button on Midi In DN and the one labelled sync ^
On the same ableton preference pane look at the top and it will say “enable external sync”
Now go back to the main ableton window, top left a new button has appeared near to the one called “link” I think it’s called “ext”, momentary spike of amnesia, click that so it lights up.
Then it will trigger from DN and you can change the BPM via DN too.
I don’t have it installed atm otherwise I would made a quick video.
Oh wait, are you doing what I did? You need to use the knob under the master volume, the one marked “Level Data” to change BPM, not the set of 8 encoders. Did it myself, hopefully that’s the issue.
