MIDI clock: seq vs song mode

jaem wrote:I dont think thats the source of the delay though bcuz there is no delay in song mode....although i may be wrong

as far as the thread cats always up in here on some "i can't figure out this.....help me" I was hoping to nail down some causes of midi latency (ie seq mode in the mpc) and have a discussion outside of some ol' GIMME HELP type $hit but cats seem to be too simple so fuk it.........

If you are talking about starting a song from DP and the first samples from the mpc don't register until bar 2, then I have a solution.

I use Nuendo and have everything connected through a MOTU midi express. A workaround I have found is to insert an extra bar at the beginning of my sequence in Nuendo and an extra bar at the beginning of my MPC sequence. Hit start in you DAW and everything will be fine.

I hope that helps. Hit me on my e-mail or aim if you want to talk directly.

F. some of us do not use DP (i don't even know what that is.)

the issue may or not be specific to DP (digital performer)

basically compare MIDI clock response from DAW to MPC when MPC is in seq mode vs in song mode

I think it may be independent of DAW and MIDI interface
I think the MPC just responds slower to the MIDI message in seq mode due to the fuctionality that is available in SEQ mode

your mpc1k sends mtc/smpte? mine doesnt..

1) I record to tape or directly to CD burner, so I dont have this issue.

2) when I DID multitrack to a DAW (using CoolEdit), I never used Sequence mode on the MP, I used Song Mode exclusively---since I didnt bother to use the DAW until the beat was completely finished and ready to record anyway. And even then, I used MTC/SMPTE, and never Midi Clock.


Sorry, I havent noticed what you're talking about.

I have a 2000XL and a 60mkI. Never seen or touched a mpc1000 in my life.
