Transmitting Internal Clock to external unit

[Colourise]

Hi

I wondered if someone could advise me, please.

I am trying to send the system clock from the midi out of my Origin keyboard to a drum machine (BossDR880) and another synth, but these external units do not respond.
The midi implementation of the Origin suggests that the internal clock can be transmitted.

The idea is to sync the sequencer of the Origin to a drum machine

I have read the manual but cannot  see any specific reference to switching the Origin clock so that it will be transmitted.

Can anyone suggest what am I doing wrong?


thanks

It is currently not possible to send internal Origin clock to other equipments. Instead you can set Origin to be a synched to an external MIDI clock. Check if your drum machine can send MIDI clock and set Origin as a slave to this clock.

Thanks for the reply

I am able to send midi clock information from my other units and sync with the Origin, but ideally I wanted to control the tempo of the drum machine and other units from the Origin.

Do you know whether this function of sending mdi clock information from the Origin will be added at a later date?

As of today it's not planned for the next 1.4 release. It's however already a known request and may be added to a following release.

Please tell us something about the 1.4 update - scheduled when and what's new.

We're still working on the specifications. Last decisions are to postpone the software editor and instead to focus on other aspects:

1- an enhanced multi mode that will enable to define the actions of the controllers and macros on any slots of the multi and not only on the slot having the focus. You'll be able for instance to choose the sequences played by slots at the multi level, and also to select the slots for which the sequencer is active or not. An example of the usage could be to change the sequencer patterns on slot1 while modulating slots 2 and 3 with the joystick. All the settings will be saved within the multi and won't change programs presets.

2- an enhanced FX management in a multi. You'll be able to set and configure your effects at the multi level. The FX organisation will consist of 2 inserts per slots and 4 global FX with send and return settings. Here again settings will be saved within the multi and won't change programs presets.

3- Introduction of the "template lite" concept that has been discussed on this forum here:

4- A better preset management with Origin Connection including the possibility to overwrite any presets.

5- New modules: Envelope Follower, 5 points Envelope...

From the start of the actual development to the release, count 4 to 5 months. Currently we're working on a bug-fix release which should be available soon.

Of course all this is preliminary and subject to change....

"3- Introduction of the "template lite" concept "

Very cool!

Would be really useful if it could bring in some custom gui options too...

As mentioned here...
