Ribbon cable I had was bad, swapped that out. I spent about 100 hours figuring this stuff out.įinally got it all working. You can roll your own with a sampler, or use a plugin like Silent Way sync. Being able to record your hardware through software effects and monitor is GREAT.įinally, if you only want to sync your Deluge, you only need an audio interface and a spare output and a clock pulse to send to Deluge’s audio clock input. If you are syncing a device like the Deluge which also sends MIDI, and if you want to sequence Ableton, you may need to add a negative track delay to a track receiving the MIDI, and then receive that in the final track.īasically, be prepared to do a lot of tests to check the accuracy.

Pro-tip: If using Ableton, you will need to send your audio clock stream out of Ableton’s External Audio Effect, as that is the only way to get the clock stream to be latency compensated. If you buy one of these devices, be prepared to invest some time, especially if you’re using Ableton. I would think that would work for the USAMO. IIRC, a DC coupled interface is not necessary to send clock pulses. MIDI router/merger, manual shift and shuffle, LFO.ĥ DIN + 5 MIDI as well as TRS analog variable division arp trigger output. You can also expand with more ESX-8MD modules up to I think 40.Ĥ outs of either MIDI, DIN or Analogue all of which can be turned on/off at the push of a button, can be it's own master for hardware only setups. Only issue is any latency induced from your MIDI router/hub to your external gear and whatever latency is induced from the Deluge to any external gear connected to it.Įxpert Sleepers ES-40 + ESX-8MD + doepfer mini caseĨ separate outs means you can clock 8 devices direct. You split the clock signal out to all your external gear, like the Deluge. The USAMO only has one MIDI out hence the MIDI router/hub. This probably the cheapest solution if you already have an audio interface that is DC coupled and want sample accurate sync between hardware and DAW. Sample accurate sync with DAW (DAW as master) choices:ĭC coupled Audio Interface + Expert Sleepers USAMO + iConnectivity or other relative MIDI router/hub. Since I've been researching sync options as I already have much invested in VSTs but now wanting to go hybrid I thought I'd share my findings.
