Knorm Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hello and thanks for reading. I'm trying to send midi clock to an external synth (Microkorg) through a keyboard controller (an Edirol/Roland PCR-500) which is connected to my Macbook Pro running Mainstage. Unfortunately the interface I want to use does not have MIDI. The PCR-500 can send its own clock but that's not what I want, so I have that turned off. I figured it would just forward the clock coming in but it doesn't seem to. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hi, After a quick pick through the PCR-500 it doesn't look like it will resend the Clock data it receives from Mainstage. Better get a simple MIDI-USB interface (avoid the really cheap ones though). J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knorm Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 Thanks for your reply. I found an even better solution: wirelessly through a wifi network. Took a bit but got it going. So sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Great, glad to hear you found a solution without spending money! I'm curious though, how does the Microkorg receive MIDI wirelessly? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knorm Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yeah sorry, I'm confusing things by working on a few issues at the same time. My solution involved a 2nd Macbook running Ableton Live which receives the MIDI clock and then sends it to the Microkorg. Basically the idea is to skip the keyboard controller completely, by sending to a networked Macbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I see, thanks for clarifying. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
