Post by luisizrae » Thu Oct 11, 2012 2:34 am

Hi everyone, im new in the neighborhood
i really need some help with my korg electribe emx-1 sd synchronization

I need to sync my emx-1 as sleeve to live so i connect the midi out of the PC to the midi in of the EMX-1 and set the midi clock of the EMX as EXT.

So when i put play in Live 8.2.2 the electribe start like 7 bpm higher than the master tempo of the Live.

Hi Luisirae, I do this with several external devices and don't seem to have any clock problems. There are 2 main things you have to set up to make this work. 1-set your external midi device to accept external midi clock, 2-make sure you turn sync 'on' for that midi port. When you go into Live/Preferences/Midi Sync, you can turn on/off midi receive/send for that port (track), Midi sync for the port, and remote capabilities. In order for Live to send Sync messages on the port, you have to specifically turn sync on.

Hope that helps.
