![]() So all in all if you connected the ESX-8MD to the ES-40 on GT1, plugged your MIDI cable to ESX-8MD MIDI 1, your ES-4 Controller plugin should be set to Output: Gates 1/1 (GT 1 connector on ES-40 outputting MIDI 1 on ESX-8MD). So on ES-40 GT1 connector is 1/ and GT2 connector is 2/, etc. In MIDI Out section -> Output, the first number 1/ is what of the 5 channels you connected to on the rear of the ES-40. In the Silent Way plugin in Ableton note that: Had a small issue with Output 1/1 on the ES-4 Silent Way plugin not transmitting on MIDI 1 on the ESX-8MD, changed connection on ES-40 to GT 2 and it all worked proper, then I switched back to GT 1 and it worked correctly there too, so don't know what was wrong initially. ![]() MOTU Ultralite MK3 outputs S/PDIF on 11/12 in Ableton (despite the Expert Sleepers videos using same audio interface and Ableton 9/10), so changed that. Ribbon cable I had was bad, swapped that out. I spent about 100 hours figuring this stuff out.įinally got it all working. You can roll your own with a sampler, or use a plugin like Silent Way sync. Being able to record your hardware through software effects and monitor is GREAT.įinally, if you only want to sync your Deluge, you only need an audio interface and a spare output and a clock pulse to send to Deluge’s audio clock input. If you are syncing a device like the Deluge which also sends MIDI, and if you want to sequence Ableton, you may need to add a negative track delay to a track receiving the MIDI, and then receive that in the final track.īasically, be prepared to do a lot of tests to check the accuracy. Pro-tip: If using Ableton, you will need to send your audio clock stream out of Ableton’s External Audio Effect, as that is the only way to get the clock stream to be latency compensated. If you buy one of these devices, be prepared to invest some time, especially if you’re using Ableton. I would think that would work for the USAMO. IIRC, a DC coupled interface is not necessary to send clock pulses. MIDI router/merger, manual shift and shuffle, LFO.ĥ DIN + 5 MIDI as well as TRS analog variable division arp trigger output. You can also expand with more ESX-8MD modules up to I think 40.Ĥ outs of either MIDI, DIN or Analogue all of which can be turned on/off at the push of a button, can be it's own master for hardware only setups. Only issue is any latency induced from your MIDI router/hub to your external gear and whatever latency is induced from the Deluge to any external gear connected to it.Įxpert Sleepers ES-40 + ESX-8MD + doepfer mini caseĨ separate outs means you can clock 8 devices direct. You split the clock signal out to all your external gear, like the Deluge. The USAMO only has one MIDI out hence the MIDI router/hub. This probably the cheapest solution if you already have an audio interface that is DC coupled and want sample accurate sync between hardware and DAW. ![]() Sample accurate sync with DAW (DAW as master) choices:ĭC coupled Audio Interface + Expert Sleepers USAMO + iConnectivity or other relative MIDI router/hub. It allows you to route and merge other MIDI data from four USB MIDI ports and the onboard MIDI In with the accurate clock signals.Since I've been researching sync options as I already have much invested in VSTs but now wanting to go hybrid I thought I'd share my findings. To become the central connection hub of your setup, a powerful MIDI router is available. If you then have found the sweet spot, you can add a bit of shuffle. To compensate for any time lag of your connected gear, you can shift each of the four output channels individually and in realtime back and forth relative to the master clock. Analog clock signals are configurable in polarity and start/reset behavior and individual clock dividers are available. Each channel can be set to either emit MIDI, DIN sync or analog clock. The start/stop impulses and sync signal from the ERM plugin to the Multiclock via audio is slaving the Multiclocks internal MIDI clock, which is extremely 'tight' meaning low jitter (timing drift from pulse to pulse). Synchronization of the multiclock to a DAW relies on a sample-accurate audio clock, which allows for rock-solid sync signals. The clock from the Multiclock and MIDI messages from Ableton are two separate generators. The Multiclock can be its own master or can be synced to external MIDI, DIN sync or analog master clocks. Professionally sync all your electronic instruments and software with the E-RM Multiclock USB Sync Interface. Non-EU customers will need to purchase a 9-12V DC power supply (any polarity) or type f->type a adapter to use with the existing PSU separately. Please note: Item includes EU-only power supply. The E-RM Multiclock works as either a standalone clock source capable of sending MIDI, or DIN/Sync 24, and even analog clock signal over four built-in 5-pin outputs.
