Slaved behavior - it doesn't start

Hi guys, i am not sure if one time ago i was able to do it, but now, if i CLOCK slave the OT i cannot let it to start playin other than having the master DAW already playing.

I mean: is it possible to have CLOCK+TRANSP with Send/Receive options checked and having OT to be able to start the sequencer without having to press play on the DAW too?

Don’t know why, but i am quite sure this was happening…

Any cues/confirmations?

Thanks a lot in advance,

You shouldn´t need to press play on DAW too, if you´ve already done that on your OT. I´m doing this with my OT and hardware midifileplayer/sequencer. I´ve got no problem there. Just set the OT to sync (clk & transport) from, and my sequencer just follows along nicely.

Maybe there are some settings in your DAW that needs to be adjusted, so that it will be synced to your OT transport messages?

Maybe the DAW doesn’t send MIDI clock when stopped? I’m using it here that way now, clock supplied by an external source,

I would like to use (for recording purposes) DAW as master, because the latency gap is better covered having the source(OT) in delay instead of the opposite.

Anyway…it looks more like the DAW is in a “pause” state.

The OT, while DAW stopped, displays the PLAY icon if i press play on it…but actually doesn’t play.

I’m quite sure i’ve got this working one time…but i didn’t change anything in Midi preferences (Live or ProTools…)

More investigations needed…

I dont have my OT on to verify
but i think on the midi sync page you can choose int/ext for midi clock,
enabling it to be started by an external device, and being able to start on its own
I def manage to do this, as i sync my OT to a HD recorder, and it starts when i press play on the recorder, but it also starts even if i dont press play on the recorder…
good luck

I had this problem but ultimately solved it by receiving transport only and not clock. I actually find it tighter to just set the OT to the same BPM as the master and only sync the transport, anyway.

But yeah, I never could solve this with the clock receive on, and I tried a lot of stuff.

Infact this is what i do now.
Only sometimes i forget to set the correct tempo on one of the two platform…
It sounds quite weird to me because the other Elektron do not have this “issue”
