Ableton as Master clock - Resync
Hello!
I am trying to optimize my “hybrid setup” (DT/ST/DN/A4/MM2 + Ableton Suite 11) and I finally found that having Ableton as a master clock helps me to get a better latency.
Long story short, I want to be able to work “DAWLess” so I keep the DT as a Master Clock when I have no computer involved. (DT OUT -> ST (then midi tru from ST -> DN -> A4)
The DT is still set to send clock and transport).
When I am in “hybrid mode”, the DT keeps sending midi clock to the ST (and the whole chain keeps working) but the master clock is Ableton - through Overbridge (set in clock/transport mode). All my other Elektron boxes are connected to Ableton using Overbridge but in “no sync mode” as they keep receiving the clock from the MIDI chain.
My issue : Ableton is playing (the Elektron machines too) then I need to open an other project on the DT. The DT stops but I can’t start it back manually (some beatmatch or whatever) as it’s receiving midi signal from Ableton.
I would like to be able to send a new start message from Ableton (or Overbridge) to the DT to avoid a stop/start. (I don’t want to stop Ableton as I got some “backup clips” that needs to keep playing to have a smooth transition).
Is there any way to do that ?
Thanks !
