Then, I have to adjust my routing in my interface so the audio from the plugin goes out to the USAMO, but not into any of my other outputs, main speakers, etc.

Setting up the USAMO requires using the plugin, routing the MIDI out of the USAMO to the MIDI in of my interface, and running the whole audio test inside the plugin while tweaking the trim pot on the USAMO to get things just right.
#Erm multiclock at juno upgrade#
While I'm doing the upgrade of my MIDI setup, I'm wondering if I could stand to upgrade my clocking also, and if the ERM Multiclock would be an easier to use and more intuitive solution. Setting it up is always a process, and if I move my gear to use it live, take to a friends house, etc., I have to start the whole process of setting it up over again. However, the USAMO and I have had a love/hate relationship over the last couple years and I find it to be a big pain in the ass sometimes. Currently, I use an USAMO to allow Ableton to be the master clock, and to output MIDI clock into my MIDI router and then send that to the various bits of hardware. Maybe Korg Volca BeatsĪnother (not) stupid question, but it seems like some synths can produce both tones and percussion/drum sounds, so is my distinction here a little arbitrary? Might be willing to spend a little more for something that can do both.Hello! I am upgrading my MIDI setup in my hybrid studio (Ableton, Hardware Synths, VST Synths, Sequencers, and Drum Machines, Eurorack Modular). (And a little above my budget for now) Modal Electronics Cobalt8 Elektrin DigitoneĭRUM MACHINES/DRUM SYNTHS Roland TR-6s Arturia Microbrute Moog DFAM (a little pricey).

SYNTHS Arturia Microfreak Make Noise 0-Coast I know these are all very different beasts, but this is gear I’m looking at, based on YouTube research and recommendations from friends:

I also don’t mind a little bit of a learning curve, but I also don’t want to get so frustrated that I pack this all in entirely. I’m also a little bit of an analogue fetishist as I already collect vinyl records and work with 16mm film, so I am tempted by that side of synthesis, I’m just wondering how much I want to throw into another expensive hobby. For now, this is something I see doing for my own amusement, so I’m not looking to go pro! Open to making all kinds of music, but interested in the experimental end of hip hop, house and techno. Huge music nerd with no musical proficiency, but I’ve been playing around with samplers (started with an Sp404sx and now the later pocket operators - 32, 33 and 35) and want to start creating my own sounds. Little about me: Film and video artist who does his own sound so I have a beginner-to-intermediate understanding of recording terminology and audio postproduction. Relative newbie here looking for recommendations for synths and drum machines each in the <$500 range. Is there anything else out there for managing midi connections and routing?

#Erm multiclock at juno Patch#
Also seen the DACS midi patch bay which is the closest thing to what I’m thinking of, but its only got 10 blocks and is pretty rare. I’ve seen the MRCC from Conductive Labs, but don’t need all the functionality of it and would rather have something simple I could just patch. Kinda wish there was a simple passive midi patch-bay with like 30 io ports so I could just experiment with different routings without having to totally rearrange cabling in my studio every time. I get that it is necessary to use the clock out to sync my modular clocks, but would I be better off using the internal sequencers on my hardware synths (Prophet 6, MS2000) than sequencing them via midi from live? Any one else with a similar setup? One thing Ive been mulling over, does it not sort of defeat the purpose of using it if I am sending note midi out of Live to sequence synths. Just got the ERM multiclock, finally a workable way to sync my comp and hardware!
