Max MIDI Clock to Octatrack
Hi
Has anyone successfully used Max to control the clock of an Octatrack?
So far, the closet I've got is sending 248 messages via a midiout object which allows the tempo to be adjusted but start (250) and stop (252) messages are ignored.
The OT syncs fine to Logic and I've checked with Elektron about the setup. Monitoring the midi messages going out from Logic though, its sending 242 messages to start the OT's sequencer as well as the bar number but doing the same from Max doesn't work.
According to Elektron, it should work but surprisingly they'd not tested it themselves.
Any thoughts on this from anyone attempting a similar setup?
Make sure to send the song position as sequence of 3 numbers, ie. [242, 0, 0] for the start position.
The 2nd number counts 16th steps, and the 3rd number counts 128*16th = 8 bars.
Ok, thanks Broc. I'll try that when I get to the studio and update this thread.
I've previously tried sending that message without the commas so maybe that was the problem...
