Sync issue with BSP when MIDI slave
« on: August 08, 2015, 06:24:41 pm »
When BSP is the master, everything seems to work normally when clocking external devices via clock out.  The problem I'm having is when BSP is sync'd via MIDI.  In this case, the clock out ppqn seems to change.  Here's my setup:

1) Electribe is master, MIDI out to MIDI in on BSP
2) Clock out of BSP to run/clock inputs of Pamela's Workout module (simple passive DIN SYNC to clock/run outputs in between).  Pamela is set to receive clock at 24ppqn and BSP is set to send clock at 24ppqn. 

When BSP is set to internal sync, everything works normally.  Changing BPM on BSP changes BPM on Pamela perfectly.  However, when BSP is slaved to MIDI, BSP shows the correct tempo, but Pamela now shows exactly 1/2 the tempo.  It's like when the BSP is clocked via MIDI, it's putting out 12ppqn to the clock out, instead of the selected 24ppqn.  Is anyone else having this problem?

I can work around the issue by simply setting Pamela to 12ppqn, though this seems like a bug.  I am also on the latest firmware (1.1.1.6). 

Edit: I am slaving BSP via the 1/8" MIDI in jack, rather then USB.

I have pretty much the same issue. My master clock is my DAW. BSP is slaved to the DAW via regular MIDI (not USB). That works fine and the DAW and BSP report the same tempo. But then I go from the BSP clock out to the Clock and Run inputs of a Pamela's Workout, and Pamela's syncs at exactly half the tempo. So if my DAW and BSP are at 100 bpm, then Pamela's is at 50 bpm. I have confirmed that both the BSP and Pamela's are set to 24 ppqn.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I am also on the latest 1.1.6 firmware.

Ableton as master clock into Beatstep pro . Din sync into 303 . Timing is set @ 24ppq . 303 syncs fine under Beatstep as master but as soon  as  I switch to  USB(ableton) the din sync goes t half time.

Great to know it is a bug and It can be fixed.
So where is this older firmware to download ? I can't find it on the download pages.
Thanks.

Fixed with the previous firmware ! Thanks.
However other problems arose like midi channels crosstalk.
Well, let's wait for a new firmware then.
