MIDI sync - How to know if 2 devices can be synced? - Answering your questions
MIDI synchronisation is probably one of the least understood part of MIDI. And it is normal. I mean, it is not easy to grasp unless you get how MIDI is made and what the MIDI implementation of a device is.
A while back I did a whole video to explain how to read a MIDI implementation chart... and at the same time a crash course on what MIDI can actually do.
In this video I answer a question from a subscriber.
How to sync a Roland Gaia to a Roland TB-3..... I'm not even sure it can be done!? We will see...

That was very helpful, thank you. I was really confused about a lot of that. Gonna go play with wires

[@youverndit1324]

Liked and Subscribed. I am a total noob who just got into working with synths (Roland JDXi, Bass Station 2), MIDI controllers (Novation Launchkey 37) and working with MIDI in general. I am also trying to make the switch from using Audacity to record/write/create music with, to using a DAW (Ableton LIVE Lite 11). Your willingness and ability to break this information down to be easily understood by complete beginners is genuinely appreciated. Thank you!

[@Makebelieve123]

Brilliantly explained

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Thank you for this video. I had no idea of how all this works and now see what direction I need to go to get things synced. It appears my pioneer squid can be a great master IF I get it all up and running. I really should have been purchasing more wisely. Thanks again.

[@Jack_Sparrow_1]

Very good explanation. Helps when buying new gear. Thanks!

[@ussrfeniks]

Cool! Thank Bro!

[@mickcj2001]

great video

[@Nu-trix]

Thanks

Interesting, great video explanation, find this trying to sync BOSS RC-05 LOOPER & KORG´s VOLCA BEATS, I achieve to conrtrol the tempo knob, but still sound in different speed, I don´t know how to get match

[@CAT_ON_WATER]

Thanks for the explanations, very useful. It would be cool if you could make the same kind of video for the ASM Hydrasynth series. I use my Hydrasynth explorer as a master with Korg volcas (Drum/Bass/Sample) via midi sync (Volca Drum) and I encounter a lot of sync problems... I have a lot of trouble finding the right settings...

[@Nu-trix]

I'll try to get my hands on a Hydrasynth to check it out.

[@CAT_ON_WATER]

@@Nu-trix I hope you find one, it's an incredible synth!

[@josh-zmidi-banana926]

Last? Also great video. People need to use more midi.

[@Nu-trix]

last what?

[@Slider2732]

@@Nu-trix Instead of First, I imagine, looking at the posting time. I think his sync is out :)

[@lolwalters2936]

Hey Nu trix.... thanks for your vlog... I have three devices that I am struggling to sync..... arturia minibrute 2, microfreak and volca drum. I have tried to sync the drum with the freak but no luck.... the closest I have got is the brute (master) via midi input to the drum which works for rate but triggers every beat on the first part on the drum. I haven't had any luck in sync from brute to freak.......My questions are, is there a correct path to connect these three? What menu options might I need to change? Any advice is very welcome. Peace from Wales ✌️

[@gbcraw]

Hey Nu-Trix. Thanks for this. Around 4:35, you mentioned that you'd done a previous video that went into detail about MIDI and pointed to the upper-right corner, but I didn't notice a link there. Any chance you can post a direct link to that other video? (Or perhaps I missed something; that's certainly possible!) Cheers.

[@Nu-trix]

Here is the link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX_Ld5lvqdebmLM I'll update the video

[@Nu-trix]

Updated. Thanks for heads up !

[@NotDwight-j8n]

Is there any way to use midi to line up the arpeggiator of one synth with a sequencer of a different synth? Or is using a arpeggiator complexly reliant on user timing only?

[@NotDwight-j8n]

I’m using a bass station 2 along with a minibrute 2s and wanna have the arpeggiator of the bass station line up perfectly with the minibrute

[@gamblesgroove111]

I’m using Ableton as a master to sync my Behringer RD9. I have a Behringer Ms1 connected via midi cable to my RD9. The RD9 will not slave the MS1 when connected to Ableton but will slave it if I just run the RD9 and ms1 together. Any suggestions

[@Nu-trix]

My guess is that the RD9 automatically sync to the USB MIDI from Live. It is totally normal. A MIDi slave device cannot follow 2 master clock, only one. If you want the ms1 to drive everything, then it should be master of Live and Live master of the RD9

[@MyBichSustained]

You went Leaps and Bounds to explain this and I am forever in your debt! Thank you so much!I learned so much. I Just wanted the Tempo to sync....but I been playing around with this sync and actually been having some fun with it. The Gaia is actually my first Roland synth and I love it....And got a XM too....Finale got some non-monophonic keyboards,yipee! Working 7 days and when off,I got to scour through vids to hopefully learn these beautiful toys and all it's functions! Again,Thank You!
