Searching for: 'midi' AND 'clock':

Question: I am really sorry, but I am discussing here to make my favorite DAW follow an external MIDI clock. forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=...I want to cut the recorded content to fit the grid in order to reuse the improvised content of Renoise and REAPER as a pattern. 0x0.st/XBmc.mp4You once said that `REAPER needs predictability.` I am not sure what you mean by that. What does that mean? askjf.com/index.php?search=midi%20clock

REAPER needs to be able to predict tempo changes in the future in order to transform media, pre-render FX, etc. If you want to sync in realtime to tempo changes, a lot of things will break. 1 Comment...

Question: Re re : Midi clock.(i know, i'm kinda insisting) : And in case of music without tempo changes (like many electronic music), wouldn't it be possible to have Reaper slave-synced to a hardware sequencer through Midi Clock ? It would be so useful.

Useful, sure, but not really worth the complexity. BTW, see the Note: above on this page, *cough* end of discussion... Comment...

Question: Re : Midi clock. Thank you, Justin. Any plan to have "proper" (standard) Midi Clock support (Reaper beig able to receive Midi clock from a hardware sequencer/synth) ?

No, REAPER needs predictability. Comment...

Question: Re : Midi clock. Thank you so much, i wasn't aware about that. However, i have several drop outs, and it seems to have some lag at while starting playback, and that Reaper doesn't display the right tempo (it keeps displaying the default 120bpm while the midi clock was set at 108bpm), so if i record my performance as audio, will it be tagged as 120bpm, or 108

It won't read tempo from the clock, just uses it to synchronize, you need to manually match the tempos. Comment...

Question: "Right click on the play button in the transport to change sync options. " Yes, thank you for the tip. But i see only MTC, no Midi Clock option ? Is Midi Clock support planned ?

It is labeled as "MIDI SPP" (it needs the SPP to know where to start). Comment...

Question: Hi, Is there any plan to allow Reaper clock to be set as Midi Slave ?

No, it can slave to midi clock but can't adapt to the rate changes, as it requires tempo to be predictable. Comment...

Question: "audio trigger > mastger clock" - I wish to use a modular synth or pre-midi drum machines, or the trigger outputted from a looper pedal to be used as Reaper's main tempo clock. We would feed Reaper with an audio signal, and it would be usedas /converted into the main master clock.as

Hmm, not really possible as REAPER needs things to be predictable. Comment...
