MIDI Clock Master behavior
Posted: 06 Jan 2015, 11:43
Hi to all,
don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but I'd like to discuss a little bit about Midi Clock over Copperlan.
It seems that in your setup you could only define one master clock device. I mean if I have 2 midi clock transmitters and 1 receiver I could only use one of them to connect the clock signal in the connection tab. Whenever I try to connect both only the last one is activated.
Is it true? Is it correct or is it a bug?
Well if is a feature I would prefer to have the possibility of connecting both the devices on the same receiver and the choosing who is sending the midi clock to the receiver via hardware switching on/off the midi clock on the device itself.
I know that this could lead to jamming packets if I leave 2 transmitter switched, but this is known and happened since the first midi mixer was done. Having the possibility to connect more than one clock port to a device will let me setup just one configuration choosing the master midi clock as needed from my hardware machine, Macintoshes (I have two of them connected) too, by the way.
Obviously if the clock port is done for other pursues and I don't understand how to broadcast the midi clock, or if this is a bug, don't mind all I said but help me understand how to do what I needed.
Thanks in advance, cheers, Eriberto
