I am trying to get Max to be slaved to external midi clock from my Elektron Analog Rytm.

I know to use rtin and I have read about using it with Sync~ but I dont know how to use the output of Sync~ correctly.

As a test I have used Ableton and tried to get Sync~ to output correct bpm from its middle port but I have noticed that when I change the bpm on Ableton there is a very big delay before Max matches the bpm. That delay means that Max then becomes out of step

It is normal for sync~ object to spend some time calculating tempo from incoming midi clock.

I would not use it for midi sync to external hardware devices.

You will have to implement complete rtin, and include song position pointer

and all that stuff, If You want Midi Beat Clock, with synced Bar, Beat etc

It works like tap tempo.

And here is a patch demonstrating Midi Clock with SPP

Wow! Source Audio - thanks so much for your efforts...I really appreciate.

Im not sure how long that would have taken me but Im sure I would still be trying to research how to do it

That is all stuff from the past time when one had to sync a lot of

Nowadays nobody seems to need this, so it is just great to have it back on the table.

You are welcome.

Hello, I am interested in a similar setup - using the Elektron Analog Keys as synthesizer and MIDI keyboard but also aiming to sync it with MAX and Jitter for video/open GL playback and real-time effects.

Source Audio - I appreciate the work you have put into the MIDI sync patch. Is there anything I need to add to your patch in order to see e.g. the elapsed notes? I am a MAX beginner, I can see the Analog Keys coming up as a midiin device. But I don't know how to take it from there - since nothing else seems to happen in this patch for me. Thanks.

Yeah, thanks Source Audio, saved me loads of time. <3
