Live synched to Machinedrum? Is it possible?

Post by Beatport » Fri Dec 12, 2008 12:21 am

Live just keeps bouncing around +/- 1 bpm when slaved to the MD - every thing is out of time. I have the MkI model. Has anyone else been able to get this to work?

I've found it impossible to sync live as a slave to anything at all without the same thing happening.

Sorry :cry:

there are literally 10s of threads on the forum about hardware sync with Live, and its problems. Youre best off going through those as its all been discussed to death and there is a lot of detail and workarounds in the threads.

if you haven't considered it yet, live works great as a midi master in my experience. is there a reason you want it to slave instead of be master?
It was as if someone shook up a 6 foot can of blood soda and suddenly popped the top.

i do it the other way round (Live syncs MD) and it works flawless on Live 7.0.12
