If it doesn’t then I might have to take the plunge sooner than hoped but I think I’ll definitely do that long term anyway. It looks like my PC and my ears are particularly prone/sensitive to this problem.įor now I’m going to try and only sync between the Octatrack and Analog Four and just trigger start from Reaper to the Octa and see if that works ok without drifting so at least I’m not making sloppy sounding/drunk robot music. Unfortunately I’m in a ‘use what you’ve got’ phase for a while after buying too much stuff but at least this will save me god knows how much time trying to track down a problem that probably can’t be solved with the existing gear. It looks like the separate clock devices are the way to go. I’d gotten used the the glitchy/sloppy timing. It’s subtle at times but I only really noticed it when I had a session without the DAW connected and everything sounded so much tighter. Thanks for the super helpful responses everyone. Still a useful firmware for troubleshooting and converting MIDI clock to analog clock, but wasn’t enough to fix USB MIDI problems for me, and if you don’t already own a MidiGAL (which is very worth owning if you use MIDI harware very often!) and can’t build the kit it would cost more than a USAMO anyway. There’s a clock/sync firmware for the MIDIsizer MidiGAL that will analyze and remove jitter from an unstable clock source and regenerate it accurately but when I installed it on mine it turned out the jitter from my system was so bad that the MidiGAL couldn’t consistently fix it (running Windows 7 for compatibility with some old hardware and it’s notoriously extra jittery). If you don’t need all of the features of the ERM you can save a LOT with the USAMO, or if you have S-PDIF digital i/o already you could start an Expert Sleepers system with an ES-40 and an EXX-8MD in the smallest Behringer eurorack case for around half the cost of the ERM, which would give you a lot of room to grow.
