hardware that can 1/2 MIDI clock signal

myneuralart · 23rd March 2008

Does anyone know of any hardware that will take a MIDI clock signal and half it, or double it for the slave hardware?

For example, If I have one drum machine with a beat at 180bpm, and I want it to sync with another drum machine at 90 bpm. Or Vice-Versa.

Does something like this exist? I don't even know what words to use when searching for it on the Internet.

I think the midi fx on the yamaha rm1x can do this.

Thanks. I'll look into that. Though I'm not really in the market for yet another drum machine..

Its interesting because this seems to me like a function that all midi sequencers should have. I've just had to learn over the years to work from 81 BPM to 160, and never above or below. But some of my older beats are at 180 and up! They are insanely fast if I'm trying to cross-fade between.

For now I'll just have ambient transitions while I readjust the tempo between these songs live, but it would be really nice to have a little box that could do this simple little math for me.

You might just want to use MMC (midi machine control) with other machine running a different tempo.

I believe MMC will simply trigger the start/end (transport control) of your machine. .......Might work fine.

Trying to achieve that to control a midified Monotribe.
