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

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 ?

MTC is basically SMPTE time code over MIDI. So I guess the answer is no.

I guess what you're looking for is MIDI beat clock.

Yes, I think Midi Beat Clock is What I need...
I am just looking at Freewheeling, because it looks like it can sync with
ableton Live trough midi. So I guess it can send Midi Beat Clock...

it's been a while since i was using it, because my 8 track recorder's capstan
has died some years ago. This is what i remember, maybe others know better:
MTC is just a translation of SMPTE timecode (LTC) into MIDI protocol, which
means it has time information but not tempo information. If you want tempo
information you have to use MIDI clock and Start/Stop/Continue messages.
Which again has the disadvantage that a slaving sequencer can't jump to a
certain position in a song, you have to rewind and start from beginning.
To handle this, Song Position Pointer (SPP) is used along with MIDI clock.

I just tried quickly to synchronize seq24(master) and rosegarden(slave) via
MIDI clock, and it worked. In rosegarden preferences, MIDI/MIDI sync tab,
set MIDI clock to "receive Start/Stop/Continue". In seq24 options, MIDI clock
tab, set the "record in" port of rosegarden (was 130:0 now in my case) to
On(Pos).
Hope this is what you need, good luck...

Yes thank you. It does ... but when I use kmiditracker as a slave, the tempo
change every time, and it is not very synchro ... but yes, this is something
like that, that I am looking for.
The top of the top would be hacking Seq24 and add this feature. But I am not
a C or C++ developper ...
I am trying others trackers to see. But I am not so confortable with this
kind of sequencer.

I've tested slaving Ardour on one machine to MTC from Sequencer Plus
running in DOSemu on another machine. I've also done the same on a

IIRC the arrangement worked well, but I was merely testing whether it
could be done at all, I didn't really push things.

can you explain loud ?
In fact, most of the softs can sync themself each other with JACK transport,

so why not use netjack ?
grab current jack release and go.
it now works over wireless. use celt codec to
reduce bitrate. should give you 4channels in both directions easiely.
and i guess you only want 8 channels in one direction.
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
netjack.
its even sample accurate.

But is the lossy codec (celt) a good idea for a LAN?
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.
can you explain loud ?
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.
so why not use netjack ?
grab current jack release and go.
it now works over wireless. use celt codec to
reduce bitrate. should give you 4channels in both directions easiely.
and i guess you only want 8 channels in one direction.
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
netjack.
its even sample accurate.

Try aseqnet:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/man/man1/aseqnet.1.html
it works just great and you dont even need a MIDI-cable.

Seq24 and rosegarden do not accpet to be slave (tempo speaking).
Museseq-2.0 has the possibility to be midi slave but it doesn't work on my
computer. This is a developpement version. so I guess this feature is broken
for now.

Did you try it ?

for the transport, but
not for the tempo.
Seq24 and rosegarden do not accpet to be slave (tempo speaking).
Both do for me (though RG not very stable) if they run as slave and
Ardour is master... Seq24 follows tempo change automation in Ardour
seamlessly...

of course its not.
i was talking about wireless here, which is losing packets,
and celt can compensate for packet loss.
celt-0.6.0 at 512kbit/s should be the way to go for such setups.
i dont think that the quality reduction, will be audible, at such
bitrate. And the packet losses would only degrade quality,
but thats better than clicks and pops due to lost packets.

Hi,
Sorry for my late answer
2008/11/30 <torbenh(a)gmx.de>
I understood that the slave computer using netjack backend can't use audio,
or through alsa_out and alsa_in.
I own a firewire sound card, so I think this is not possible for me... is it
?
By the way, Seq24 developpement is bakc, and I saw that midi slave feature
is planned. So ... I just have to be patient.
Cheers,
Mysth-R

Does it offers good performances ? latencies speaking ?
I can't really imagine how it works. and how to implement this solution.
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.

to
Midi out of the Sound card.
