![]() Don't engage any fancy digital loopback stuff. ![]() On your audio interface, use a cable to connect Output 4 to Input 4. Set the I/O plugin's Output and Input to 4.ħ. Click on an insert slot of the Audio Channel Strip and open the I/O plugin.Ħ. Change the Output of the Audio Channel Strip back to Stereo Out. This automatically creates an Output 3-4 Channel Strip.Ĥ. Change the Output of the Audio Channel Strip to Output 3-4. Open an Empty Project from the Factory Templates.ģ. (This describes using input 4 and output 4 of your audio interface, but you can use any unused in/out.)ġ. The "Ping" version of determining recording latency I/O Plugin: Click on an insert slot and then Utility > I/O. It's good to know where that is, but I don't think that's your problem. The Plug-in Latency section is in the middle of the page. ![]() "Go to Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > General. I’ll add that the reason I want to sync to a DAW is it unlocks all the power of the computer and plugins and gives a “best of both worlds” to the hardware.Could be to do with the recording delay.have you set this up in Logic? But, once I had a good sync to my DAW, I don’t worry about the rest. I obsessed about all this clock stuff for a while. And, the maker of the ES modules is really cool and helpful. At first it was a mind-bender figuring it all out, but it all made sense after some fiddling. I think one other one they make will will work (ES-5), but I use the ES-40. To answer your question, the other ES module is the ES-40. And, I won’t worry about it until I hear it. I would imagine if you’re syncing a slave to the Deluge and firing a ton of MIDI notes, things might wobble a bit. A single sync box is good enough for me, although the ESX-8MD is nice. By far the worst is the crap jitter output by computers/DAWs. Now, we should not lose our minds about all this.įor me personally, I don’t worry about the little bits of jitter described above. By the way, what would the other ES module - Any time you have two or more MIDI events occurring at the same time, one will be off. I'm just trying to find the cheapest solution. At what point do you think jitter would be introduced? 9 or more channels of MIDI data? I get it that ideally you have DAW as master, audio synced to an external audio sync box that then converts audio sync to MIDI, Sync box then sends out MIDI data on different ports per hardware device (Deluge, keyboards, drum machine, etc.). So let's say Deluge can receive audio sync and send MIDI out on 1 port, 16 channels. Again, whether and how much that matters is a matter of personal taste I reckon.Īdding downstream devices won't help, because, again MIDI is serial. If you start adding a bunch of notes and stuff, then the clock will be disturbed. For something like a clock, which relies on precise timing, this is a bigger problem. ![]() So, you would not need to add other devices downstream.īUT, jitter would be added if you start sending a ton of MIDI notes and stuff out of the MIDI port along with clock, since again, MIDI is serial. In that case, you would, if it did work, already get a jitter-free clock. RE "If the Deluge was able to receive audio sync and send out midi clock then as far as any possible jitter between Deluge and external synths could be corrected with a relatively inexpensive E-RM MidiClock or even cheaper a MidiGAL." All modern rhythm machines SHOULD have that - you would need a small case and power supply. The fact that the Deluge can be synced with an audio clock is HUGE. All you need is a free output on a sound card to send the clock pulses. You can roll your own clock pulses with Abelton's Samper, or you can use a third-party plug-in. If you send the audio clock out of an Ableton External Audio Effect, it will be latency compensated and jitter-free. That means that you can sync with audio instead of MIDI. Try it! Add like ten compressors to a track with the lookahead set to 10ms in each one. So, as the latency of your set increases, the more out of time your slaved machine will be.
