#MULTICLOCK ERM UPDATE#

The tempo range is 30-300 BPM, the shift range is ±400ms and the resolution 20µs. As if this wasn't enough, unused channels can always be used as a MIDI controller via MIDI-out or USB MIDI. Multiclock USB offers Hot-Plug&Play support for MIDI, DIN, Modular Clock & Analog LFO and has a built four channel class-compliant USBĪny MIDI data sent to those USB ports gets forwarded to the respective physical MIDI OUTs. It features four ultra precise channels, all separately shiftable and swingable in real time to compensate slave machine delay and add groove. It converts all kinds of clock signals from one to another and is able to derive highly accurate sync with a plugin provided from the soundcard of a DAW or even generate a masterclock itself.

I hope this helps someone, this forum has helped me figure things out so just wanted to share, please reply back with whatever thoughts, this is all we got right now, until Akai really improves is USB/Midi.The multiclock USB built by E-RM Erfindungsbüro Rest & Maier is a one-stop shop for synchronising all kinds of musical gear with great precision to a master DAW. You can also just switch the ERM to slave mode and fee the audio in from VST Plugin of ERM from DAW and get super tight sycn and print that.

When all is good, I then print to the DAW just to capture the audio files and the swing of what is happening in Standalone, so the DAW is just recording each channel, I want to keep that feel, you can record to tape or DAT machine which is what i did ages ago, once I have that I can now mix in the DAW if I want etc, but more importantly I have archived what I had been working on in Standalone mode. Right now, I have about 14 synths connected to the AKAI mpc Live via USB, this is great because I can access all of them quickly with two switches, I can lay ideas down, jump to external gear, sequence something there and play and stop with ERM clock. I have spent about 1 month doing extensive testing. Remember to make sure that your audio out from your DAW is at 48K, to the audio in of the ERM. I also have recorded each individual track to audio in cubase and they all hit the grid pretty tight.ĮRM has an issue right now with Cubase's latest updates which will be addressed shorlty, from what I heard, and have seen, with Logic X you will be fine, Abelton is pretty straight forward but I just can not stand that software. But unfortunately I cant find it anymore. I use Cubase, and Cubase can not be slaved with Midi, and MTC is crap on Akai.

The nightmare starts when you mpc becomes master clock to bunch of external gear that is connected to it, this is why I make the mpc the slave and ERM the master(internal clock), and I never let akai send any Midi clock, I connect the midi in of the gear that has sequencer to the ERM out and I adjust the drift there, once all of that is in sync and building on a song, I bring the DAW in the picture but making it the master.

I would clock the MPC Live/X etc with the ERM Multiclock, the clock out from MPC drifts all over the place, so if you sent akai clock out to any gear it will drift,(you can check this with the ERM) but if the sounds are within the mpc, plugins, drum tracks etc, they are rock solid when sequenced, even audio tracks within mpc are solid, With 2.8.x (not sure about 2.7.) the MPCX is at least not resending the CCs and SysEx's everytime around anymore - it did before - there was a drift you could count on Are you sending CC or SysEx info at the start of sequences? This is holding up the MPCX quite a bit. That sounds evil - I am considering to get an ERM Multiclock.

#MULTICLOCK ERM UPDATE#

I'm not sending any sysex, will delete all the CC data (leaving only note and velocity data) and update this thread if it solves the issue. I am certainly sending a lot of date thru the MIDI cable on the same beat, but I'm beginnning to feel a bit insane because I'm reading of other people having 'rock solid timing' with MPC as both slave and master since 2.8 firmware. Hey! actually this might be due to CC messages being sent, but not sure. Akai needs to fix this - even with all the wonders of the MPC workflow and style, this thing might be garbage. It seems/sounds like the MPC's cpu is adding some time at the repeat moment of a sequence. And for the life of me I cannot get it to stay in sync for more thann the length of one sequence.

nothing that should be too challenging for a sequencer. I am still having issues with the MPC staying in sync after getting an ERM Multiclock! Trying to do some tight-rhythm techno kind of stuff. DeaDeus wrote: ZacDBS wrote:For those considering getting the ERM multiclock.
