Send Clock over MIDI out and MIDI thru

Hey fellow digitone users,
the title pretty much sums up my question. My setup looks like this. I have a BS2 which I want to control via my digitone and a volca sample which only needs the clock signal of my DT. But unitl now, I couldn’t find out how or if it is possible at all

best regards
Marcel

BS2 Midi Out → Digitone Midi In

Digitone Midi Out → Volca Sample Midi In

To sync everything you have to active “receive/send” clock on your devices.

If you also want to send Midi activate “receive/send” midi.

Let us know if it works :slight_smile:

This was my workaround, sadly the BS2 clock is no very stable. But if I use e.g. ableton for giving clock it should be allright.
I was just confused because the MIDI ports are also called Sync A and Sync B.
Thank you for the quick reply.

This refers to DIN-Sync only (not MIDI)

Hm after checking the manual (page 60) things getting clearer and confusing :sweat_smile:

So if i understand correctly the THRU Port is able to send DIN (24 or 248) sync or MIDI notes.

So if you set Midi OUT PORT FUNCTIONALITY to DIN 24/48 there will be no Midi Data transferred, but the a DIN SYNC.

I guess you can use Digitone as a MASTER,

  • set OUT PORT FUNC to DIN 48
  • DIGI OUT to BS2 IN
  • DIGI THRU to Volca
  • BS2 OUT to Digi IN

This could work or iam totally wrong :smiley:

Edit: receive clock on Digitone must be deactivated

MIDI thru just echos what is received on MIDI in, which can be the DIN in or the USB in or both… It’s not the same as a MIDI out. Digitone has one MIDI output.

You may just want to get a MIDI thru box

Digitone ----MIDI OUT---->MIDI THRU BOX---->all your other devices, set to diff channels

Din MIDI Thru doesn’t echo anything from USB (only DIN in) on the other devices, it’d be a surprise if this was different on DN (which I don’t have so who knows)

what he said, read the manual wrong

“THRU PORT FUNCTIONALITY selects what type of signal the MIDI THRU port sends.”

(Not what it echos)
