I can never get things to sync up perfectly otherwise. multiclock is available for purchase for 449 EUR (classic) / 519 EUR (USB version). It doesn’t drift or jitter but I can never get the compensation right, even with proper Driver Error Compensation settings in Ableton => Preferences => Audio. I’m also just getting back to a hybrid setup but I don’t run audio into Ableton. I trigger audio and MIDI clips then output the audio to an external mixer channel. Other setup/delay compensation may be need for routing audio into or roundtrip with Ableton. I am sending my drum machines into ableton with monitoring off and I am using my RME mixer software to monitor everything. Ive got the tempos set in the app and it counts in all the songs for the band, we also link up on other projects so everyone with a Soundbrenner gets the beat. I dialed in the offset into the E-RM for each drum machine and they are super locked in now. Which honestly, is amazing on it’s own.Īdded in a synth that I sequence with ableton and so I use an external instrument.Īs a guitar player, I really dig the tuner and being able to tap a tempo into the watch and always having it with me is fantastic. If I set the latency too high in the plugin, it pulls the kicks ahead of the grid. Ive tested them all out (sequenced from ableton out via E-RM USB and they are fine.) So I found that around 2.5ms has the synths dialed in pretty well. Struggling a little with the Digitone though. Triple checked the Sync settings in its menu, swapped out cables…it’s not taking sync. I had it running fine in OB so its got to be user error by me. The Multiclock is a cleverly designed product, with a feature set that builds on the foundation laid by the Midiclock but takes it to an entirely new level of versatility thanks to the inclusion of DIN sync, analogue clock and seamless DAW integration. Of course if I hit play on it, its fine and everything sounds great. This leads me back to my original question.The build quality of the unit itself is excellent. So your solution is nice but it clearly hinges on having a very expensive sequencer that has a multi year waiting list. And yea the cirklon is super tight and can clock everything but how many ppl have a cirklon? Not many. I too had a cirklon and a usamo combo for a while and switched to the multiclock because of the issues i had. If the Usamo works for you that is awesome, but for me that was the case for the above reasons. I have been down both paths and for my studio it is no contest and worth the extra money. The erm plugin is rock solid in ableton and never hiccups or crashes for me. The erm has an onboard user interface that i can quickly adjust for latency. This is excellent for portable live jam syncing. The erm has 4 outputs so i can clock 4 pieces of hardware directly with no thru device if needed. The erm sends midi out along with clock so i can send that midi from ableton into my sequencer of choice and into my synths. No finnicky dial needs to be fine tuned on the erm, it works out of the box with about any interface. Also noted by os on his compatibility site. Usamo is not consistently sending clock out of my rme interface and constantly requires fine tuning to get close. Not sure on that one but its never been resolved thT im aware of. It is a known issue and Os says its an ableton thing. The usamo plugin fails to start in ableton consistently after i hit a track count of around 20.
