909 and SX

[Ritzi Lee]

You lucky fella! Yeh please let us know how you get on...

Also, the 909 displays the tempo I think - is that correct? I think I can use the clock from my 303 and sync the 909 to it, and then sync cubase via 909 midi out - I'm assuming the 909 display will then change if I change the 303 speed control?

If the 909 displays a BPM tempo, while you want to sequence from SX or Logic,
it won't work. You have to have a blank screen, or just display'd the number 1. (midi ch)

It must work.
Try holding down the shift button while you power on the 909.

I've done some research on the web, and come across a few bits of info that state Cubase sx will not accept midi clock and slave to it. Apparently the older versions (ie vst) will do, but not the latest one - go figure.

So now my sequencer is rather redundant! Can anyone recommend any decent other choices I should have a look at, preferably ones that will slave to a midi clock signal from my 909.

I like the look of Ableton and will check that out, but I'd be interested to hear any recomendations. Mainly just want something that can host vst's for kontakt etc...

Peace

SX3 is almost out .. the return of a lot of old trusted funtions that have been missing, ex: Mixer maps,... so It probably means proper midi sync aswell! We'll just have 2 wait and C

Thanks guys...

I downloaded the demo of Ableton Live and had a play around last night - I'm sold!

Seems perfect for what I want to do, and it sync'd up to the 909 straight away. It did crash a few times though, but I'm hoping that's just the demo.

It seemed to have a nice sound to it too - whereas I feel Cubase kinda "blunts" audio in a certain way, samples in Live had a really good natural sound with just a touch of bite.

OK GUYS SORRY FOR NOT GETTING BACK TO YOU SOONER BUT I WAS TO BUSY PLAYING LAST WEEK AND TO BUSY TO CHECK THE FORUM. ANYWAYS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS .

1)SETUP YOUR 909 TO RECEIVE BEAT CLOCK IN YOUR MIDI SETUP APPLICATION .

2) IN CUBASE SX GO TO TRANSPORT--> SYNC SETUP AND IN THE SEND MIDI CLOCK BOX YOU CAN SEE WHAT INSTRUMENTS YOU CAN SEND MIDI CLOCK MESSAGES ‘NOW HERE COMES THE STUPID PART!’YOU HAVE SELECT THE 909 TO BE SENT THE MIDI CLOCK MESSAGE (OF COURSE) BUT..... FOR SOME STRANGE REASON YOU HAVE TO DESELECT EVERYTHING ELSE OR IT WON'T CLOCK!

3) HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT KEY ON THE 909 AND PRESS THE TEMPO MODE BUTTON ONCE OR TWICE UNTIL THE ZERO IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 909'S SCREEN , AND YOUR READY TO ROCK! AS FOR CLOCKING SX TO YOUR 909 FORGET IT CAUSE AS YOU MAY KNOW, STEINBERG WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO FORGOT TO IMPLEMENT SUCH SIMPLE FEATURE ! BUT SX3 LOOKS PRETTY SWEET:)

PEACE DEBROGLIE
