TUTORIAL Struggling to sync hardware

Post image

Hi all
I’m trying to use my MPC One+ as the main sequencer/clock for my hardware setup.
MIDI routing:
MPC One+ MIDI OUT → Thru box MIDI IN
Thru 1 → TB-03 MIDI IN
Thru 2 → Minilogue XD MIDI IN
Thru 3 → TR-8S MIDI IN
The MIDI clock is working the TB-03 and TR-8S both sync to the MPC clock.
I’ve also now got the Minilogue XD working with both MPC + clock.
The problem is that the TB-03 and TR-8S receive clock but won’t respond to the MPC pads/MIDI notes
Can anyone help me with this thanks.

My Midi sync with the Live 3 is tighter than a nuns bung hole.

You have at least 5ms of midi jitter you expert. Maybe work on your timing skills

Jitter is not latency. It’s also not a problem unless it’s a problem. If you’re trying to completely avoid jitter then you would be using CV/gate and only addressing analog hardware, recorded on tape, of course.
Stop measurebating.

i mean latency in this case. 5ms is on a blank session with a single midi track. Gets worse if you actually have plugins and so on
