Ableton as slave on midi clock tempo sync issue
Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2016 2:01 pm
Hi,
I Have a PSR-S950 and enabled the internal transmit clock to control sync/start/stop of Ableton LIve sets. I dont see it sending clock signal when its stopped or on pause so Ableton is not setting the tempo to match the keyboard. This causes the Ableton samples to be off tempo when it starts and then gradually comes to sync. Really irritating when performance have short pauses or breaks in between.
I hooked up another brand device and I see that it sends the signal on pause or when not in play, so when Ableton is set to EXT it is receiving the clock signal event when the arrangement has not started, thus allowing the tempo to match the external device.
I have checked all settings on the PSR and without luck have not been able to find the setting that enables it to send tempo or clock signal when its paused or set to sync/stop state. my connections are below
PSR-S950 to Mac OS X El Camino via USB (installed the Mac OS X Yamaha drivers (Japan version))
PSR-S950 Midi set to All Parts Template, Internal clock, transmit On.
Ableton Live connected to Presonus FireBox via firewire 800
Ableton Midi settings: - Digital Workstation Input Sync enabled - set to Midi Clock
On the other hand, this tempo sync problem happens with any device that I try to use Ableton as slave on the first bar, after the 1st bar, it gradually syncs the tempo and then I can pause and resume with out issues as long as there is continues clock signal send to Ableton.
Any help is appreciated. this happens with
