midi sync

[picker523]

i went to the help menu for cakewalk 9.0 pro To find how to sync with external midi device and it told me to look for the button in the midi/ device/ options menu with"midi "on it but I couldn't find it.Anyone know where to find it?

[moskus]

If you right-click on the menuline, select "Sync". There's your MIDI-button.

I didn't quite recall how to reach it in CWPA 9, but in SONAR, you can simply click Options --> Project --> Clock tab. Select MIDI Sync...

moskus, James,

I am a HS 2002 user.

I use a Qy-70 external sequencer plug in my midi card. My song (On QY-70) contains tempo changes. If I record this song into HS from Qy-70 the tempo changes are not take in account...

And it seems we cannot set HS as slave with midi sync...

Any thoughts about getting the tempo changes ?

This is correct. So basically what you need to do is to record all tracks, and then re-program all the tempo changes after the recording...

Sorry, I don't think there's another way...

Thanks moskus

Or after some thinking it might be easier to program the control changes first. Then you can hear what it's supposed to sound like during recording...

have you tried sending midi clock to that device? under the midi out tab, checkmark start/stop/continue/clock...and set the midi clock to the port of the device you want to sync.

sonar sucks because you can only send clock to 1 port. what the hell were they thinking?

Yeah, that kind of bug me too. Why oh why shouldn't I be able to slave more midi-devices to Sonar?

If you figure that out, let me know...

[roostmusic]

I figured it out...i use cubase SX now ;-)

If you use win2K and not XP...some guy wrote a driver to echo midi clock to other ports...you can find it on the yahoo groups for cakewalk.

[moskus]

It's just no way I'm downgrading to Cubase SX...

[roostmusic]

are you kidding? The clock thing is 1 of dosens of great features sx has that sonar doesn't...now that i've grown into SX i could never imagine going back. but this debate has been covered before.

[moskus]

Yes, let's leave it...













But Sonar is still better than Cubase SX, and you know it...

[roostmusic]

ok, you win

[moskus]

And you know there's a "u" missing in the name?

Cubase SuX

[James Argo]

Gimme a clue...

How many star should I rate this thread ?

[moskus]

Let's rate all the threads at the Cubase Forum to 1...


Please help me! I'm bored!!!

[roostmusic]

hehe...i gotta stir the pot every once and a while. But moskus, have you tried the clock echo driver that i mentioned above? I've heard it works great on win2k.

[moskus]

No, not really. Do you have a link? I'll see if I find it...


Sounds like a good idea! Thanks for the tip!
