Converting Trigger Sync In to MIDI Clock Data

Dematchou's icon

Hi All,

I'm attempting to create a patch to take a Trigger Sync signal coming in live from a Korg Monotribe, and convert it into Midi Sync (to go into Renoise from Rewire), but my know-how isn't too great. (The reason for this set-up is that the Monotribe is slaved to a TR-606 trigger output, but I have no way of syncing the 606 to Renoise.)

I'm assuming I'll have to run the signal into snapshot~ or sync~, then try and take the data coming from those and
convert them into midi clock, but I can't really seem to figure out how to do it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers.

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Realized it's probably better if I post the patcher up as well, I know it's pretty vague, but alas...

Hey, I would recommend looking at the global transport and [midipipe] object. This may be helpful: https://cycling74.com/forums/how-do-you-control-the-midi-clock-of-an-external-program-from-max
My mac is in the shop getting fixed so I can't look at the patch but I'm sure someone on here has useful ideas.

Hi Nick, found a solution, finally! Instead of using MIDI, I just used the rewire~ object, and sent a tempo message with a prepend of the incoming BPM.
