Hello! Can anyone tell me whether Acid (and which version) can chase sync to Midi clock (not MTC)? Thanking in Advance Antonio |

None - and it never will. Lots of technical reasons, but basically ACID needs to know its tempo information in advance. Part of its magic in loop processing.

I am not aware of any hardware converter between MIDI Clock to MTC. I am sure there are such things, but they would be limited at best in there usefullness as they would be unable to reproduce tempo based information, which is one of the primary functions of MIDI Clock. This RED device sounds like a converter already. It is dependent on the input of an analog signal to be converted to a MIDI Clock. The point behind this device is to sync to groove boxes or drum machines in real time. Since the tempo can change in realtime, the slaved devices must also be able to chase to tempo changes. Converting this boxes MIDI clock to MTC would solve little and not provide a workable solution to what you are trying to do. I think that your application of ACID or Vegas is just not what either application was intended for. You are trying to use them as performance tools. They are not performance tools. The very nature of this RED box - as you have described it - is real time performance change. ACID and Vegas cannot be slaved to do this. Q: Do you have a web site for this RED box thing?

A: Yes they do, but not immensely helpful I'm afraid, just business really..." last minute correction , yes and its´s all there (it's just that one doesn't see all that clearly at 5,6 or 7 in the morning (GMT)...)" Your answer helped me to put things in perspective particularly about ACID since it is almost certain that I'm going to purchase Vegas for producing audio based web content. May I take this opportunity to wish you a warm Christmas and a wicked Y2K! All the best Antonio >> >>Antonio Pedro Farinha wrote: >>>> >>>>Peter Haller wrote: >>>>>>None - and it never will.
