Midi Clock Woes

[gavspav]

Just had another look at this slaving Resolume to midi clock output of Maschine software.

With no midi output from Maschine the sync is pretty good - maybe there are some minor issues but its when I start triggering clips via midi things start to go really haywire, bpm skips about etc.

Yeah use one app for audio, one for visuals, use two separate computers blah blah blah. Of course it makes sense but it takes all the fun out of it for me, its a workflow killer!

Its 2010 - can we not have one av app which allows you to take a/v clips and edit them, loop them, stretch them, render them without going back and forth between different apps on different machines, splitting audio and video files, trying to sync them up and then finally losing the will to live, giving up and watching x-factor instead.
Oh well no-one said it was going to be easy I guess - a decent zoom on the audio waveform in Avenue would be a damn good start. Anyway - off topic rant over. I just find it frustrating.

By the way there are pages and pages of moaning on the Live forum about shakey midi clock.

So just to give me a better idea of the volume of midi data you're sending, what exactly are you controlling via midi?

BTW, no worries about the rant, it can indeed be frustratingly annoying to get this to work properly. It always helps me to remember this sort of thing was infinitely more hard to do only a few years ago, and these days things are getting so much better so much faster. We'll get there

I'm really not sending too much midi info.
Just triggering clips in different layers on different channels - no effects or anything.
I''m just about to post what I've got so far so take a look if you like.
