Hi All

I am attempting to integrate my Pico into a performance with other instruments by using Eigen D's metronome to provide a clock for a hardware looper pedal. The idea is to use the percussion library and looping feature of the Pico whilst having a midi clock sync'd outboard option for guitar, bass et al.

I am sure this is possible but I am a bit lost when it comes to midi. I would very much appreciate any advice or tips.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Keyman

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I have been fighting with this for several days now.

The chain is

Macbook SSD and 8gb memory running eigen d
E mu x1x1 midi usb to dyn set up in audio midi window to link to....
Boomerang phrase sampler updated with latest firmware and Midi clock compatible.

Used stage to browse midi outs from eigen d and the boomerang looper is seen in the list.

enable clock via stage

Start metronome

At this point the drummer seems to be disabled. no percussion loops sound.

Despite seeing the boomerang in the midi out list in browser as an external device, the clock does not seem to input to the looper.

Doing some research... it seems that Macbooks with 2 usb ports on left side are renowned for low current output on one of the ports. I haven't tried both ports yet, or a powered hub, but that is the next step.

Is there a way to re enable the eigen d drum sounds as well as midi clock out? as this is part of my reason for the experiment.

Thanks again for any advice. This will be so worth it when it all works the way it should.

Right.......

I have the sync working now. Thank you Keyman for your patience.

For reference, my mistake was to enable midi clock on the midi page in stage. As i read through this again that is exactly what you said!!!

Thanks mate, I owe you one.......
