Hi!
Recently i decided to get more into (more or less) analog Dub (no, not Dubstep) mixing.
I bought the “Cymatic Audio Live Player LP-16” to have individual audio tracks (so a multirack song) linked to my mix desk, without the use of a computer.
So far, this works nice… but it could be even cooler, to also have my Octratrack and Digitone playing in sync with mit Multitrack-Song.
The LP-16 has a Midi Out, but wonder why… it has no Midi Clock out.
It has a Midi In, but it is only 100% a “midi thru” and you can`t transport control the LP16.
It would be so awesome to sync the Octrack to my multitrack song… but how?
The not cheap “E-RM Multiclock USB” can do something like receving midi clock from a analog tape deck where you recorded something like a special click track… this could mean, that this could work also with the lp16… but i`m not really 100% sure.
But the more important question…
Is there any other not so expensive way of “generating” or “extracting” a solid midi clock from
a) midi notes (for example a simple 4x Kick Drum 4/4 pattern)
or
b) from audio
to sync to Octrack with the Lp16 (standalone mode, of course it is possible when i would use a laptop, wich i don`t want in this setup)
I heard of these awesome devices like the “MIDI Solutions boxes” and the “RK-002 SMART MIDI CABLE” … but im totally inexperienced with these and i
m not sure if there is any chance that they can do the trick?!
