Well I use renoise as slave, but then is there no implementation in the rewire2 specs, that lets the slave send midi to a rewire midi port of the host? I mean after all I am sending sample accurately audio to my host via this rewire protocol, is there no spec for allowing to do the same with midi? It would just be great, we would not need virtual midi ports anymore… I hope this is going to be implemented asap, rewire still rocks with the midi port sharing functionality, but I just miss the rewire internal ports for communication between rewire master and slave… So we need rewire midi ports, and lots of them! On the other hand it would be handy to be able to play midi files in cubase and record them to the acrivated track in renoise, sice many users like me come from cubase etc we are faster with recording stuff in cubase and why should we not have the possibility to record it into renoise, for example for preparing a live gig…
Is this currently not implemented or what is the Problem there? Shouldnt there be some? If I want to send some fancy midi cc or pitchbend action, conveniently created by renoise to cubase for arrangement and archival (= more control, more tidyness) then I have to use a virtual midi port like maple, but I would like to use a perfectly in sync rewire midi port, and I find none… We use Ableton Live 9 running on an RME Hammerfall/Multiface II audio interface, and FL Studio running with a Presonus AudioBox 22VSL.I was wondering why there are no rewire midi ports showing up in my 2.1… FL Studio will now slave from a MIDI Clock signal, and all your external gear running under Ableton Live will sync perfectly with everything else. The next time you start Reaper it will automatically start FL Studio and you're good to go. Just make a basic project in Reaper that enables the rewire channels (we use just the first two channels).
No refusing to sync to MIDI Clock like with Cubase and Sonar. No glitchy playback from FL Studio under Ableton. Using Ableton on one computer sending out MIDI Clock to the other computer running FL Studio in Rewire mode under Reaper worked flawlessly. We decided to try the Rewire approach with Sonar, but it too didn't like MIDI Clock too much so it didn't work any better than Cubase.įinally, we decided to try Reaper. MTC does not send BPM at all, which introduces all kinds of annoyances with effects and arpeggios and everything else that you sometime want to follow the tempo in different ways. MTC uses frames for synchronization, while MIDI Clock uses beats and BPM. Cubase have dropped MIDI Clock support ages ago for some reason that I don't really understand.Īfter some time of tearing our hair out, and questioning the sanity of the developers for FL Studio for not implementing some type of MIDI slave functionality, we learned that MTC and Clock is inherently problematic to convert between. The next step was to try to use a MIDI Clock to MTC conversion software, in hopes of being able to use Cubase as a rewire host to run FL Studio. This didn't work because FL Studio became unresponsive and wouldn't work at all, no matter what settings we tried. The first thing we tried was linking together FL Studio as a slave under Ableton.
MTC seems to be the dominant way to sync external gear these days, and surprisingly many DAW:s have dropped MIDI Clock support altogether.
