E-RM - LOGIC X Master - OT Slave?

Hi all .

I’m hoping you can help me out. Just got my e-rm clock.

I can’t seem to find any info on slaving OT to the Logic sequencer.

I’m looking to have Logic be the main sequencer and have the OT follow/ slave.

How do I do it ?
What settings in the OT?
What settings in Logic ?

Current cable set up… Midi out from the OT going into the E-RM Multiclock.
A audio output signal being sent from my sound card into the "e-Multiclock’
to get the sync. Logic is connected correctly because when I change the tempo, the bpm from the "e-Multiclock’ keeps up with it.

But again the goal is to have Logic be the master , OT slaved to Logic.

Look fwd to chatting, many thanks,
Jay

Sent you a pm about this, but just to add - it seems like the only thing wrong with your connection description is that the midi from the erm needs to connect to the OT midi IN, not the midi out. Of course the OT sync settings also need to be set to follow external clock and transport.

ZAC MEGA THNX !
For getting back to me … so yes I’ve connected the midi cable as you suggested, into the IN MIDI of the OT.

On the clock I have the midi cable going INTO the "input midi , not CH 1 on the clock.

Then I’ve gone to - PROJECT / MIDI / SYNC and clicked on CLOCK RECV.

I cLICKED trans RECV .
The PROG CH UNCHECKED.

Still no sync. What can you recommend .
thanks jAY

You’ve already got the audio sync signal going to the Multiclock, so it should work if you just connect the Ch 1 midi output from the Multiclock to the midi input on the OT. Don’t worry about connecting anything to the Multiclock midi in for now.

I got it going… I went to ;

PROJECT / MIDI / SYNC .

TRANSP , clicked RECV
CLOCK , clicked RECV
PROG CH , clicked RECV
and set to CH 11.

From what I understand the OT midi default setting is set to CH 11 …
In Logic I had to click on the LOW LATENCY MODE to make it tighter, but as of now it seems to be all good. Now to sync the rest of the gear.
Zac thanks again, wish u well.
