Re: Repeater start/stop messages

My friend is selling his Mo-Fx because of this issue (and also sound quality when audio is passed thru- I use mine in aux send)- I think it is basically a result of midi clock not being super accurate and stable- pretty much every midi device I have ever used tracks midi and drifts slightly and also never seem to send perfect clock- if I watch the incoming clock on my M0-One it is changing all the time but the M-One does not adjust delay times based on these tiny fluctuations- the Mo-Fx seems more sensitive in this regard- definitely a topic for the Repeater forum at Electrix-

 

As for filtering the midi- I have been looking at the MOTU MTP AV for awhile now but it is such overkill and $500 I can spend in other ways- I saw that MidiSoloutions can make custom boxes- I will get a quote and let you know what I hear- thanks. I would be interested in building my own but all I have is soldering skills - no tech guru here.

 

I just saw Mark's post- Mark, does your Mo-Fx refrain from sweeping/drifting when synced to 303?

i'm solving this problem by using a motu midi timepiece ii.  i filter everything but mtc and realtime messages on the repeater out port.  got one on ebay reasonably cheap (for equipment like this), although not quite as cheap as some of the midi solutions stuff.  and it takes one rack space, ob la di.

 

i'm not personally aware of a little box a la midisolutions that can do this, but i would not be surprised to find one somewhere.

 

btw,  i updated the repeater OS to 1.1 and i STILL believe i'm hearing the clock bug when i sync my mofx delay up to it.  i invariably hear the little pitch sweeps that sound like the delay time is being jerked around.  have to try syncing the mofx to another clock to verify that it's the repeater, but i'm seriously thinking that because of this, and the midi out/thru issue, i'd like to try syncing the repeater clock to something else, but i want that something else to be small, protable,

cheap, and track an accurate tap.   just haven't had time to

look around yet ...

 

or you could build your own midi filter ... ;-)

Hey gang-

 

 

 

My current project finds me with my Repeater as master midi clock sending it through mucho stuff: ES-1, ER-1, EDP, M-One, Mo-Fx, Filter Factory, and also to my friend’s Repeater which is being used for loopage of his keys and more- the issue is that I am using everything on a Thru chain and his Repeater start/stop is being controlled by mine which we do NOT want- and I do not want to use the midi Out of any of the other devices either. We just need the clock to lock to- the start/stop messages are part of the clock stream which does not pay attention to midi channel- How can we filter this data out without using a computer? I looked at the MidiSoloutions mapper and installed the software for it but it only maps/converts messages other than real-time clock etc. Any info appreciated.
