receive MIDI clock

[airelibre]

Hi all, I read that FlowStone can only handle midi notes and sysex. Is this still true ?

I would reeeeally like to get MIDI clock (so I can leave this nuisance called timing out of the reach of these other nuisances called CPUs )

If the answer is "it's not possible", I'm really curious about the reasons... shouldn't a serial connection with such a rigid protocol be a given ?

Thanks in advance

If your schematic contains stream connections, the Ruby processing is synced with it perfectly. Ruby can schedule events, triggers and methods to happen after specified time (sample-precise) and can also process midi perfectly in sync. Long story short, Ruby processing is in sync with midi and audio by default, green connectors are not though.

The only catch is that time in Ruby is always specified in seconds. You may use sample-rate prim and tempo prim to scale the time.

Long story short, Ruby processing is in sync with midi and audio by default, green connectors are not though.

Manual says: "If you have any of the DirectSound or ASIO primitives in your schematic and these are switched on
then the clock will automatically switch to run in sync with the audio processing. You can then
schedule events to occur with sample precise timing within any audio frame.".

Here I've added a stream (ASIO) prim, and Ruby should be sync with samplerate now:

midi clock @ samplerate.fsm

For what I see (and as you noticed), time is always in seconds, even if sync with stream/audio" now.

What if I want to do somethings (in Ruby; such as trigger MIDI to my DAW) every 1000 samples (at samplerate 44100)?

Code: Select all

input 0, nil, time+(1000/44100)


That's can't be scheduled as "sample precise", since there will be rounding errors. Maybe I'm missing somethings?
