Hi,
I am Quite surprised that nobody ever tried to sync 2 computers by midi.
I performed some tests with one computer with rosegarden and a Hardware
sequencer remixerr (yamaha RM1-X).
In the RM1-X, I can choose sync mode between Intern (like a master), midi
and MTC. When I choose Midi, the tempo setting is not available anymore, and
the synchro with rosegarden is perfect (transport + tempo). increasing the
tempo in Rosegarden also increase the tempo in the RM1-X.
When I choose MTC on RM1-X, the transport start with rosegarden, but I
always can modify the tempo. And even if I choose the same tempo, there is
some time shift few minutes later.
In the other hand, When I make the RM1-X as a master, the transport is
synchro but Rosegarden keep is own tempo. So it is unusable.
I don't know very well the MTC protocol, but isn't there a way to sync the
Tempo with it ?
Greets,

Hi,
Yesterday I tried with a friend of mine to synchronize our computers with a
simple midi cable.
We just want to make music together, and synchronize, the transport AND the
tempo with a Master and a Slave.
After hours and hours of tests, we just made the transport sync works. But
we couldn't sync the tempo.
Someone told me on the #LAD IRC, about netjack, but it seems to be to
"loud" for what we want to do.
In fact, most of the softs can sync themself each other with JACK
transport, but can't send Midi Time Code to the midi out.
And when we even they can send Midi Time Code, it can't be sync with jack
transport on the other computer.
The top would be to find a soft which can act as a bridge between Midi Time
Code and Jack Transport. like for exemple :
First Computer : Seq24 -> Midi Time Code send to Midi out of the Sound
card.
Second computer : -> Midi Time Code received in the Midi In -> bridge on
JackTransport -> and then each softs could be sync.
The other solution :
First Computer : Seq24 -> JACK Transport -> BRIDGEto Midi Time Code send to
Midi out of the Sound card.
Second computer : -> Midi Time Code received in the Midi In -> BRIDGE to
JACKTransport -> and then each softs could be sync.
Is someone knows a simple solution ?
I am a bit disapointed
Thank you for your help
Cheers,
Mysth-R
