Duet 2 in aggregate with Saffire Pro 40

[Kcatthedog]

I don't think it works cus you need a master clock and the duet can't slave as it doesn't have word clock i/o.

Yeah, that's what I mean. When you link the two devices together in Core Audio on OS X you have to pick a master clock between the two devices, and then I've read that it syncs both of them to the clock source you decide on. This happens through the software and USB without having to actually connect the two devices together.
Here's a link to an image of what the screen looks like: http://jole.ca/wp-content/uploads/20...2.05.15-PM.png

I tried with the original duet and it didn't work. Maybe you will have a different experience ? There is a difference between the gui in PT indicating you have an aggregate device and it actually working !

The original Duet didn't support aggregate devices, but the Duet 2 does, so that's possibly why it didn't work for you. Also, I don't use PT, I use Logic. That screenshot was from the Audio MIDI Setup screen in OS X.

Has anyone else had any luck linking a Duet 2 with a Saffire Pro 40? Or do you know how the clock source in OS X works between aggregate device?

[PapaConductor]

Well, I'm probably going to get one and hope it works. I'll let you guys know just for future documentation. xkcd: Wisdom of the Ancients
