MIDI sync and software sequencer

5 May 2010, 08:11

Hello.

I would be glad if someone could help me. I want to use the sequencer of the Fantom-G (in studio mode) as a slave of the sequencer Reason so that I can control recording, playing and all others features with the software sequencer, by using the USB connexion Is it possible and how can I do it ? Do I need a MIDI patch cable drive like Midi Yoke that I use ?
Thank you very much.

I have just learned that Reason always acts as a slave. That is, it receives MIDI Clock signals, it never transmits them. So, no way.

Is there another sotware sequencer I can use as a master ?

FL can be use as a master midi clock sync sequencer but what I would like is controling the recording.
I use the SLAVE-MIDI sync. Do I need the SLAVE-MTC ?

Hi Loo,

Make sure your DAW is sending Midi clock (Ableton Live or Logic will work plus many more).

If you're using the USB cable connection (easiest), make your system settings:
> SyncMode "Slave-Midi"
> Clock Source "USB"

Leave everything else as it is out of the box...

Hopefully you'll be in business.

Hi bonython,

Thank you for your reply. Do you mean I can control recording on the Fantom-G by using a the syncMode "Slave-Midi" andclock Source "USB" ? That is what for the moment I can only record in MASTER mode. I get all the MIDI messages from the software in MASTER mode but nothing in Slave-Midi.
My sync set up :

Sync Mode : SLAVE-MIDI
Sync output : ON
Clock source USB
MMC Mode : MASTER
MMC output : ON

thank your for your help. I wonder what is the use of REMOTE in Sync Mode.
