Re: Protools 7.3 LE STILL BAD MIDI BEAT CLOCK
Hi axl, good to hear from you. Still problems with the MBC in 7.3? I am still on 7.1 and the only thing that I found can improve (but not solve) MBC lags is to check only the devices you want to receive MBC in the midi beat clock window. When I check only my Nord G2X to receive MBC, the G2X display only shows a -1 variation, so at 120bpm the G2X shifts between 120 and 119 with arpeggiated patches. When I want to send MBC to the G2X and the Waldorf Pulse, I check both devices in the midi beat clock window. I play the sequence in loop mode and arpeggios are slightly more off in loop playback than with just the G2X receiving MBC. If I check the ALL CABLES box in the MBC window I see a drift of +/- 2bpm on the G2X screen. No need to say that the drift is very noticeable. I use a MOTU Micro Express interface and each device is connected to a different MIDI port.
Digi - what equipment are you using to test MIDI? |

Re: Protools 7.3 LE STILL BAD MIDI BEAT CLOCK
One of the problems of midi clock jitters is that Windows and OSX are not real-time operating systems. I discovered this after a little search, I am not a real expert on this. On the other hand, Linux works in real-time so it seems immune to midi clock instability. This does explain why dedicated hardware sequencers such as the MPC are very tight, they work at low level. Nevertheless, I would like to know if we can expect less midi clock jitters in PT or this is it? Part of it is definitely Apple's fault, no doubt. Although, I agree that PT 6.4 had less midi clock jitter than the current PT 7.1 / 7.3, so what happened in between? Can we expect better midi performance from PT?

Second : the problem of sync is only in LOOP PLAYBACK MODE. Here is the list of the machines which doesn't like Protools MBC: IN PLAY LOOP MODE TR909 ROLAND XBASE09 JOMOX REVOLUTION FUTURE RETRO MPC2000 AKAI TB303 roland ( yes with a Din sync converter , the TB has some trouble) MAQ16/3 DOEPFER

If you are running a looped area on PT the external sequencer starts when PT first starts, but when PT loops around the external sequencer stops. It never stops recieving the MIDI clock it just doesn't recieve a message to restart when the PT loop comes back around to the beginning. |
