so i’m thinking of getting a multiclock to clock the following things.
monomachine, blofeld, ob6, bim, biscuit, and rytm.
since the blofeld, ob6, bim, and rytm are controlled by the mnm, i’m wondering if i would be able to clock those things separately if i connected the mnm’s midi output to the multiclock’s input and then had one output of the multiclock going to a thru box to clock/control the bim, biscuit and back into the mnm. then i’d have the 2nd output of the multiclock to the blofeld, 3rd to the ob6, and finally, the 4th output to the rytm.
would this work?
also, would my song mode position of the mnm be communicated to the rytm so that when i move from different rows in song mode via the mnm, that position would be reflected on the rytm (i’m assuming not since song position is not forwarded via the multiclock)?
I use a midisplitter 1:4 back home and it sends clock and song position data etc to all receiving machines! Does this multiclock device split midi as well? What is it’s name (just curious)?
I use very old beat Roland midi splitter, stable and dirt dirt cheap.
it’s an e-rm multiclock and it splits midi, just not the following
MIDI Time Code, Song Position Pointer, Tune Request, MIDI Clock, MIDI Start, MIDI Stop, MIDI Continue, MIDI Tick, Active Sensing, and Reset.
all of that is replaced by what the multiclock generates.
i’ve realized i can slave the multiclock to the mnm and that’d free up an extra out from the multiclock, but i still wouldn’t have song pointer position from the mnm to rytm unless i wanted them to be on the same clock (which i don’t).
i’m feeling like i’ll have to sacrifice spp from the mnm to the rytm if i want to control each of them with separate clocks.
The E-RM Multiclock is worth every Cent. Since i use it, all timing problems are died away.
In my usecase i sync all external gear with Propellerhead Reason (E-RM driven by Reason-Audio-click out). Tight, tight, tight …
i want the rytm’s song pointer position to be controlled by the mnm’s. so when i’m working in song mode on the mnm, every time i move to a different point in a song, the rytm follows.
no, you don’t have to wait a bar, but you’ll lose the ability to push clocks forward. there’s a workaround tho. look at the e-rm YouTube channel for it.
I’ve read the manual, and emailed E-RM, as I’m not clear on whether Midi note data sent from a DAW over USB to the Multiclock can be delayed, independantly for each DIN output.
I understand probably most are using the multiclock to sync hardware sequencers with one another or with a DAW, however in this case in question I would be using the DAW sequencer.
I have been messing around with Sample delay plugins, but it’s just too unstable to be useful live.
Hoping the Multiclock could be used in this application, however according to the manual USB note data cannot be shifted.
If this is the case then can I send Midi note data to the Multiclock via it’s DIN input, and then shift the timing of the note data on each channel?
Thanks in advance for any info / suggestions, and apologies if this question has been asked and solved before.
hey there, just read your comment on Multiclock use in combination with a daw as a sequencer.
facing the same problem here! have you been able to get the answer on this?
Actually it looks like you may be able to… I’d have to hook up my computer to be sure. Seems like you can switch the channel from DIN to MIDI to have the channel delay affect the MIDI. It only accepts “positive” which fits the use case. I’ll try to confirm when I have time.
the manual states that the usb midi can/will be merged to the din midi. but sync from usb midi will not be passed. the sync comes from the erm. there is a listing what is passed and what is blocked and comes from the multiclok
Agreed, clock can’t be sent/delayed through USB. Though this menu is making it look like you might be able to delay/swing MIDI notes through USB still.
