The only thing I want to do is launch ableton clips while lsdj is running and launch lsdj while ableton clips are running.

Is it possible? And what do I need? I was searching the forum but could not find an answer. This seemed the appropriate thread.

And yes, I know, human syncing is possible, but syncing ableton and lsdj live by ear is a bitch.

Ableton has issues syncing midi clock. it always has.. since day one. it's always needed minor adjustment

i love you logan but I call bullshit. I've been using Ableton since day one and I'm using sync now. Perfectly fine. MY old ninja sync cable worked great, no "knotching" needed (which really im guessing is just a sync byte skip routine for the minus and a add a fake sync byte for the plus) ... Which is why I built the Aboy, i knew there was a better solution than my lsdjmc2 ... By the way I should mention that my LSDJMC2 was the original firestarter one and not the one by logan.

yeah, i never really had any problems syncing with ableton either. i would use an arduinoboy and a midi nes together and i never noticed anything not playing accurately.

my lsdjmc2 never really worked well

I had a problem with lsdjmc2. My one was always *exactly* 99.99% in sync. So I had to make a Max/MSP patch between, say, Ableton and the lsdjmc2 that compensates for the 0.001%.

Oh man!  Most of the white hair on my head is all thanks to MIDINES.  Stuck notes FTL!

seriously! i never totally got the hang of my midi nes, and now i've traded it for a guitar amp.

yeah man! or at least play a show sometime.

my one problem with the arduino, is that if youre using something like ableton as a master clock, and want to to sync the arduino up to it, they have to start at the same time. you can't just drop something from lsdj into whatever's already going on in ableton.

I would bet that's the same problem with all. yet again its arduino & open-source, meaning at least the end user has the option to fix it how they see fit.   ...

I will take the time now and say Arduinoboy was originally developed because my lsdjmc2 never really worked well, while my old ninja sync cable (8 years old- you probably never heard of it)  worked perfectly. Might of been something specific with mine but it always fell out of sync, and it seemed silly to require a power supply.

We gotta jam for realz sometime, Nick!

edit: If you want to play shit live, in real time, like a synth, for real... plogue chipsounds VST wins. Period.

or midi nes!
