How to connect the CRAVE to your DAW - Episode 2

[@carlosmodegahan4455]

This is exactly what I was looking for!!! Thanks!!! RIP Dan!!! You will be missed!

[@Zagoorland]

Dan definitely wants to be 90s trance producer

[@rendermanpro]

Thanks man! Really awesome because first steps is most hard part to learn. This guy just started but already deserved a raise, while know/feel that content you really missed (tutorials and education about your products)

[@user1756]

Cool, I'm going to buy a Behringer Swing™ next because I like supporting original ideas

[@reginaldbowls7180]

If it offered unique functionality with their synths exclusively I would give a pass but sadly nope.

[@kris_lx]

Why don't you use the External Instrument device in Ableton? No need for the audio tracks and it's automatically latency compensated.

[@Dan_ClarkeMusic]

Hey Kris - great point! My goal was to show it in a way where people could apply the advice/settings to a variety of DAW's they may be using. I am not sure if all DAW's offer the same flexibility as Ableton.

[@rebmcr]

You also have to use a more expensive version of Ableton to access that feature - and all it's really doing is automating the same manual steps we saw in this video.

[@pauls-audiolabor]

And you can also save presets for your gear in the external instrument.

Is there a way to sync the sequencer of crave to the tempo of our Daw in logic pro X ?

[@SoleR7]

Love this step by step videos ^^

[@tememma]

How to set the midi clock in DAW to control CRAVE. I mean if I set tempo in DAW to 94 I expect CRAVE to sync its patterns to this tempo (or values ​​that will be the result of division by 2, 4, etc)

[@FunkenWave]

this is exactly what I'm looking for, but havent find any useful info, have you? thanks

[@RamtinDidab]

@@FunkenWave any solutions so far?

Great ! Didnt know how to do that ! Tnx for the video

[@Dan_ClarkeMusic]

Thanks Javier!

Awesome..just waiting for my CRAVE to show up….on order!

[@seanissofresh]

Is it everything you hoped for? Just finding out about this little thing.

[@aaronparys1750]

@@seanissofresh Yes definitely .. just have to experiment with different patches .. and it works with Euro-Rack

Hi, Thanks but how to set Crave Assign patch output to -5V/+5V, Missing doc ! The Crave documentation shows that the ASSIGN output could be 0/5V or -/+5V. But there is nothing more on the subject. Is it something related to what is set for the ASSIGN patch output ? CC or something else ? Or is it something we can change and how ? I selected CC7 for ASSIGN, expecting the generated CV to be -/+5V, but it seems to be 0/+5V because when I plug ASSIGN output to VCA patch input and send CC7 the final output volume change but never totally reach 0= No volume ??? Further more the Sequencer and Arpegiator volume are not changed ?? Bug ?

[@Volcaniced]

I posted an answer as far as I can help on this below your other post where I chatted with Dan.

[@RobTube1963]

Super, it opens a lot new ways to connect my synth not only from Behringer but also Volcas, what about the Cv and Gate out of the crave, how to connect this with other synths(another video proposal), thanks Daniel

[@Dan_ClarkeMusic]

You’re totally welcome, Rob! The CV/GATE outs will always be a duplicate of what’s outputted via the midi out. Whatever you’re sending midi-wise to control the CRAVE will duplicate out of the CV/GATE. Hope that helps!

[@Dan_ClarkeMusic]

@Satanic Panic Fun and Games I will look into this but it’s important to realise the CRAVE is purely a semi modular synth with the benefit of all of this connectivity with the addition of a built in sequencer to control it. As well as it being at an extremely affordable price point compared to what has been and what is currently being offered by other brands.

[@Dan_ClarkeMusic]

@Satanic Panic Fun and Games ok, I’ll certainly bring this up with the design and engineering team.

[@vlixesispunk]

can you guys make a video about how to sync the crave to other devices for those who want to play without a computer

[@jonnytawn1993]

Would also like to see this as have been struggling with this side of things

[@cedricdesbans6060]

Popping up this thread, does someone has midi THRU issues though Crave ? in my case some notes (sent from Digitakt through Crave to Arp Oddyssey) are randomly doubled .... and can't figure out why ... does not occur at all through other midi devices using their own THRU port (thus : not wire, config or midi source issue) ....

[@nebukenazar]

Is there any way to trigger five semi-moduler Behringer synths with one midi cable? Because i have model d, pro1, neutron, K-2 and crave. I want to control all of them at the same time for live performances in one daw. (İ have 16 ch analog mixer for audio, 8/10 io soundcard for recording, behringer motör 61 for midi controller, and pc with daw Cakewalk by Bandlab) Thanks.

[@oddcircuit]

Get a USB hub

[@nebukenazar]

@@oddcircuit ? I think you dont understand my question. With usb hub, can i send 5 different midi signals to 5 different synths?

[@oddcircuit]

yes, sure, I do it every day, just to be safe make sure every instrument is at the different midi channels, hope you figure it out, and it works for you@@nebukenazar

[@yoppoyo]

Thank you for the excellent social media presence. May I ask, what mixer allows you to record two audio tracks simultaneously? Or, how do you do it, Dan?

[@behringer]

Thanks @yoppoyo! :-) For this video, I recorded the tracks directly into my DAW via an audio interface. Alternatively, you can use hardware multitrack/handheld audio recorders. Hope this helps! - Dan

[@yoppoyo]

Thanks for the swift reply, Dan! I'm looking for a seamless dawless-jamming-to-daw-recording setup. Probably an audio interface with multiple in- and outputs will help. But my ideal would be a mixer with that interface build in :) From Behringer! Am I asking too much?

[@balrojmusic]

Rip Dan 😢

[@antysynteza777]

Everything works great, playing, recording into DAW, but in audio mixdown CRAVE sound (midi track) is absent. Akai MPC. Now I know, that I have to "audioize" it. Thanks!

[@Chimpfinga]

Just bought the crave but not sure if I’ve set it up the akai force properly. I’ve used the usb connection and it seems to be able to play the sequencer onto the force but the osc and filters don’t work. Does this mean I need to set up using midi cables ??

[@Synthesis1979]

I've discovered that the crave can not transmit sequencer and arp data via USB MIDI. it can only transmit simple note on off. is this normal? I've updated the firmware to 1.1.2 (23/03/20)

[@Troglobitten]

Is it possible to sync the crave sequencer to an external synth over midi? Without the need to connect it over USB to a pc that is

[@2001pulsar]

hey the new firmware has a bug. Tempo input doesn't work with the divider. Only midi input can be divided. Old firmware seems still better.

[@fjfrancois]

I use a Atari 1040, how can I connect my VC-340 to the computer

[@pauls-audiolabor]

Just connect the midi cable to your Atari ST

[@fjfrancois]

@@pauls-audiolabor thank you

[@synthsproblems3475]

Whats the difference to do this .. And put the crave via usb and the pro one via midi to the audio interface , is not the same ?

[@HaggardBeast]

i was wondering the same thing

[@evanboles7846]

I don't think there's a difference but it's a way to free up your audio interface midi port for another device at the very least.

[@trippypages7309]

👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

[@ThisisDHAF]

Can i autómate the model d cutoff with the crave

[@kortkunig2291]

Well, the Crave just merrily keeps on plying it's internal pattern. So does the TD-3. But By pro 800 at least plays the midi from ableton. So that's something

[@Chimpfinga]

trying to set my crave up to the akai force and its impossible to get an answer on how to do it. what happened to manuals man?!

[@kirkanos771]

So the midi Out on the Crave is also a midi Thru.

[@n.l.541]

Not so easy, lets now send automation data to the synths) Can we do that?

[@lydiamacintyre3729]

[@distortimus7631]

I want to see RD9 in the stores

[@saintcole1085]

My unit doesn't even receive midi note but does sync with my daw, really disappointed in this unit and its past my warranty so I am stuck with the unit felt like throwing it in the bin last night.

[@behringer]

Hi Saint Cole - Sorry to hear you're having some issues but it sounds more like a setup issue rather than a fault. If the midi was not working, it would not respond in any way at all, so the fact it is receiving sync shows it is not faulty. Please be sure to check that you're transmitting and receiving midi notes on the same midi channel as I am certain this is why it is not working. If not, please feel free to reach out to our Support Team who will be able to dive deeper into this for you. Many thanks - Dan

[@shoosh6256]

What about midi CC?

[@radagaz]

You have to select the CC with the Sythribe software and send it to "assign" out jack, then you'll have a midi controlled CV conection

[@shoosh6256]

@radagaz only one?
