Problem with MIDI Sync

Post by KX » Tue May 23, 2006 8:09 pm

We are experiencing a problem while trying to syncronize two computers
via MIDI. One PC sends MIDI signal and it goes out ok as well as "Sync
Out" Indicator flashes, but the other PC recieves no MIDI sync signal
and "Sync In" Indicator doesn't flash though "MIDI IN" flashes on the audio interface.
All the preferences are set according to the manual. We've have tried
both MIDI "Clock" and MIDI "Timecode" modes.

Could anybody please advice us on this problem?

Hello KX,

Did you enable sync in th output MIDI section of the Master computer, in the MIDI Preferences, for the right MIDI port ? Does it send anything else (track, remote), or just sync ?

Di you enable the sync in the input section of the MIDI Preferences of the the slave computer, in the MIDI Preferences? and same, is that MIDI port used for anything else?

Then, did you turn on the EXT button only on the slave computer?

Kind regards,
