MIDI Sync
Posted: 14 Mar 2012 14:57
I'm writing a sequencer fo the Lemur. All the code is in the Lemur itself, so I try to avoid using MaxMSP / MaxForLive.
I try to synchronize this sequencer using MIDI sync from Ableton Live ver. 8.2.8 on Windows 7. MIDI is transported over WiFi by loopMIDI and the Lemur deamon.
MIDI signal F2 gives me the current songpos. MIDI FA signals the start of Live Transport, MIDI FC signals the stop and MIDI FB signals continue of the transport.
I catch the ticks on MIDI F8 to keep my sequencer in sync with Live. This works well, execpt that sometimes a tick is missed. This means that my sequencer starts lagging behind, which of course is not good. I don't know if the missing ticks were never sent by Live, or that the Lemur fails to pick them up.
Has anyone else succesfully used MIDI sync to sychronize with a host?
Cheers,
Willem.
