Syncing Blofeld arpeggiator..??

Post by Rabalder » Thu Dec 31, 2009 9:27 am

I´m trying to get the arpeggiator on my Blofeld to sync with Live 8.1.1
I read in a previous post that if you change your midi outputs to MME (instead of DirectSound) it will work. How and where do i change this??
I use the Fireface UC. (blofeld connected with usb, not midi)

Has anyone made this work?

It does work but it's a bit unpredictable, set whatever midi out your blofeld is on to Sync, it seems to better on some arp presets than others as I remember, the transport has to be running I think.

No it does work. The setting is in midi prefs. And yeah it only seems to stay in sync with mme. directx and it starts going loopy. I seem to have solid timing atm; i just looped a 1 bar arp pattern for a coupla minutes and it stayed in sync. :)

You have to change setting in Blofeld in Global settings, Set Clock to Auto.
Now, when you start Ableton, the arpegiator will sync from Blofeld
