Hey there - I’m running into issues with midi clock sync when trying to print stems live into the DAW (Ableton 11).
If I set the Tracker+ clock to Internal, it plays the track correctly at a stable bpm, but if I set it to external, there’s very audible “swing” especially on the very first beat of the song. I don’t experience these noticeable timing issues with the Syntakt or the MPC but I wouldn’t call myself a midi expert by any means so I figured I’d ask here if there might be some tricks to try that I haven’t considered? The workaround to set the clock to Internal works so this isn’t a huge issue, it seems like Ableton and Tracker are able to stay in sync anyway, but it just “feels” weird to know that they’re actually operating on independent clocks when printing audio stems via usb audio.
Then I’m wondering if there’s a way to sync the location of a Tracker+ song with the location in the Ableton Live Arrangement timeline? If I place the marker at any other place than at the start of the timeline, it doesn’t seem to really matter for the Tracker+ which will just start to loop at whichever Pattern it was on at the time of hitting play/pause. I’ve tried different sync settings (eg Pattern vs Song) but there seems to be no way of getting the Tracker to jump to the pattern corresponding to eg bar 49 in the Arrangement timeline. Am I missing something here or is this just the way it is and you need to manually scroll to the correct pattern from the Tracker itself before pressing play in Live?
