MIDI Clock on several outputs

Hi,

This would another useful improvement if MIDI Clock could be sent to more than one output. At least two musicians in the band I play with need this information, for delay pedals and other stuffs that don’t have a MIDI Thru socket, or are just USB.

I imagine this new column in the MIDI Connections window :

Easier to draw than to code, of course :slight_smile:

Is it something possible?

Thank you!

It’s less a question of beeing hard to code, but to not clutter the user interface with things that aren’t used by everybody. The next user will certainly complain why there is no such tick for MTC :slight_smile:
We are working on multiple selection for connections, which makes for several enhancements, even better than for instance “All MIDI Inputs”; you can then create groups of inputs and outputs. This would however not apply to MTC, MIDI Clock, and LTC, as those are directly addressing a port (as oppposed to addressing a connection output). But we’ll see if we can add multiple selection to those as well.

I understand that my request reflects a situation encountered by a minority of users. I’m sure no one is going to dare to ask for multiple MTC output :wink:

Maybe a button like the “CC MAP” one in the layers panel could be put in place of the tick I drew, and it would open a MIDI Filter window specific to each output (MIDI Clock and MTC belonging to the list of filterable messages of course!).

That reminds me a small issue with this : you can click any CC MAP button, the window that opens is for the selected layer, and not the layer of the clicked button.

As the VST live community keeps increasing, I think the group of people that would profit from the additional midi outputs might be bigger than we realize at this stage. Me personally would like to have some extra outputs since I’m working also with external synths, pedals and Mobilesheets software. Please give a thought.
Thanks I appreciate

Multiple MIDI Clock destinations also required by me as I have multiple synths to be synced.

But I dare.
I’m currently rebuilding my songs. I need MTC on a Boss GT-100 for the guitar effects and an output for my Yamaha GENOS2 so that the vocal and keyboard effects are in syc.
I wish the development team could realize this.

Why not daisy chaining them? I’m pretty sure you only need 1ch for the Boss …

Btw I think you need MIDI CLOCK (and not MTC)

Hi

daisy chaining ?

That’s a good approach. I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll have to try it out. Thanks for the tip.

I’m pretty sure you only need 1 channel for the Boss:

No. I think I need two. I use the internal effects (echo, tempo delay, etc.) for the mic channel of the Genos2 for vocals.

MIDI CLOCK (and not MTC)

You’re right. I shouldn’t be writing posts this late at night. At some point, my concentration is gone. :slightly_smiling_face:

yepp grow up with my fathers work-Atari, 1x MIDI IN and 1x MIDI OUT. Daisy chain was the only way to use multiple devices… (mind the MIDI-Thru port).

until 16chs, you’re good.

sure, just wanted to clarify avoid further hours of “why not working” :slight_smile:

Daisy chaining will possibly add a delay, but if you’re only chaining one device it should be ok.
CME WIDI’s might be a solution as they multicast.

Yes, true, sorry, forgot to mention @Herbert_Schmitt
You would expect a typical delay per device:
• 0.5 to 2 milliseconds per device (depending on quality/design). :sweat_smile::upside_down_face::wink:

So that presumably won’t affect your Boss GT-100 at all, no worries :slight_smile:
