Zoom G9.2tt

Serge — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 16:53:54 +0000

The Zoom G9.2tt is now supported by midiclock.
Use the special G92TT.ini output driver to support BPM syncing of a Zoom G9.2tt.

Zoom G7.1UT

Serge — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 16:44:30 +0000

Midiclock now supports the Zoom G7.1u.
This is accomplished through a special output driver, which controls the BPM rate of the Zoom G7.1ut.
See the diagram below for information how this can be achieved :

Alternatively, you could, for example, control the tempo by tapping your G7.1ut’s pedal:

Boss BR-1600CD

Serge — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:56:03 +0000

The Boss Digital Recording Studio (Version 2) can be synchronized by MTC commands.
This feature is still under development, as a result, the BR-1600CD is currently not yet supported by midiclock.

Yamaha Motif XS

Serge — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 17:32:45 +0000

The Yamaha Motif XS can be synced to midiclock.

Here’s a quick guide how to set this up :
On the screen shown below, edit parameter (5) :Midi Sync.

You can set this to Auto or MIDI to synchronize with midiclock :
Setting MIDI : the XS will always sync to the external midi clock
Setting Auto : the XS will sync to the external midi clock when it is received.
When no midi clock is received any more, the XS will switch to the last received tempo.
This will also be the value of the internal clock.

Yamaha Motif ES

Serge — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:45:21 +0000

The Yamaha Motif ES can be synced to midi clock.

Use the following menu :
[F5] MIDI –>[SF3] SYNC–>MIDI Sync :
Set to ‘internal’ for synchronization to internal clock. Use this setting when this synthesizer is to be used alone or as the master
clock source for other equipment.
Set to ‘MIDI’ for synchronization to a MIDI clock received from an external MIDI instrument via MIDI.
Determines whether Song/Pattern/Arpeggio playback will be synchronized to the instrument’s internal clock or an
external MIDI clock. Of course this is also the recommended setting if you want to sync to midiclock.

Yamaha MM6 / MM8

Serge — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 17:47:37 +0000

The yamaha MM6 and MM6 can be connected to a pc through USB.
This allows the same MIDI workflow as usual on you computer.

By setting the external clock to ‘on’ in the utility menu, you can enable the midi clock reception for your instrument.

Yamaha QS300

Serge — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 19:21:49 +0000

In the Sequencer Setup page, you can set global controls affecting the built-in sequencer of your QS300.
These controls include:
• Click (metronome) settings
• Transposition of sequencer data
• MIDI Sync
• MIDI Control
• Interval Time (for data transmission)

Now the MIDI Sync is interesting for midiclock users :

This setting determines whether the sequencer tempo is controlled by the QS300’s internal clock (int) or by MIDI clock data from an external sequencer or computer (MIDI). You should set this to MIDI when you want to “slave” the QS300 to an external sequencer such as midiclock.

Yamaha MO6 / MO8

Serge — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 17:44:02 +0000

Synchronizing the MO6 / MO8 with an external MIDI instrument (such as midiclock) is easy.
Execute this key sequence to enable MIDI sync mode :
[UTILITY] -> [F5] MIDI -> [SF3] SYNC -> MIDI Sync = MIDI

The Songs and Patterns of the Yamaha MO6/MO8 “Music Production Synthesizer”
can be synchronized to the playback of most external MIDI sequencers this way.

Yamaha A4000 / A5000

Serge — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 22:21:53 +0000

Midi Clock synchronization on the A4000 and A5000 can be done on the program LFO menu :
Key sequence : [PLAY] Button ? [F6] Button ? Knob 1 to select “PLAY-PgmLFO”
Then you can use Knob 3 to select the LFO Sync method.
This parameter determines whether or not the LFO speed will be synchronized to an external MIDI controller :
You can set it to MIDI on the A4000 : The LFO speed is synchronized to a MIDI clock signal received via the MIDI IN connector.

On the A5000, there are two midi in ports and as a result also two settings :
MIDI-A : The LFO speed is synchronized to a MIDI clock signal received via the MIDI IN-A connector.
MIDI-B : The LFO speed is synchronized to a MIDI clock signal received via the MIDI IN-B connector.

The Yamaha A4000 and A5000 are very nice samplers.

Yamaha CS2X

Serge — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 18:00:06 +0000

The Yamaha CS2X is has a midi controllable arpeggiator :
For this arpeggiator you can set the following parameter :
ARP Tempo: MIDI, 40 ~ 240 (beats per minute)

This Sets the tempo of the Arpeggiator in beats per
minute or to be controlled by an external MIDI clock.
So if you want to synchronize the tempo of the Arpeggiator with the
tempo of an external MIDI device (such as midiclock), set the TEMPO parameter to
MIDI.
