Hi people! I have a question.. Hope someone can help.
I am trying to sync my prophet to the acoustic drums in our band.
We´re using a drum machine to send metronome to drummers headset, and midi clock to our synths.
I have a Nord Lead A1 which has an option called "Master Clock Keyboard sync". When this is on, the arpeggio is started exactly whenever I hit a key. However, when it is off, the arpeggio only starts in sync with the master clock (internal or incoming midi), meaning, it won't start off beat, and will always sync with the incoming midi clock.
The Prophet 6 does not act the same way.. Even if I have a midi clock signal on the midi in, the arpeggio will start exactly whenever I hit a key. So if I miss the metronome/clock just a little bit, it will be out of sync. Same with sequencer.
The Prophet 6 manual states:
"You can sync the Arpeggiator to external MIDI clock, or even an external audio signal."
So.. When it says sync to external MIDI clock, should´t that mean that the arp syncs to the midi clock, and will only start in sync with the midi clock?!?
Or does it simply mean that it will be played at the same tempo as the incoming external midi clock?
Or.. (hopefully) am i doing something wrong..?
If not, maybe this could be included as an option in future OS update?
Thanks for the help!
