I worked extensively with this machine, I ended up returning it not because it does not work, it is because there are several much easier and faster ways to do things. 1. In Bitwig the compensation is already figured out for you via HW instruments with just a regular midi connection to whatever midi interface your instrument is connected, if you are working with CV then just use Expert Sleepers ES-8 or ES-9, you can also do Midi with both of these units via breakout, it works flawlessly with Abelton, a bit of drag on Logic and nearly impossible to do the Expert Sleepers with Cubase. 2. If you are using Logic, you just purchase and Emagic Unitor Midi/USB interface, they are like $75, connect all your synths and drum machines via midi, and then download the driver from Apple, Yes Apple actually rewrote the driver for Silicone Macs 2 years ago for Midi interface that is 30 years old, and if you are intel based mac there is driver for that as well on the apple site that has been for over 20 years. You will have the BEST tightest Midi connection in your, just with one click on the Logic Midi Instrument channel the Emagic Unitor will figure out the latency and its bang, just like the 1990s and almost as tight as the ATARI or Circklon midi sequencer. 3. If you are out of the box and not using the DAW, and you just want tight Midi, use the mpc 60 or MPC 3000, the new MPCs are very good for Midi sequencing, good Midi Clock as well, so you can accomplish, you get 4 Midi outs on the Mpc X and big screen, if you want to bring the audio from your synths back into the Mpc and record is as audio, it is bang on tight, however the converters for MPC x and all these new mpc is not very good, (this has been discussed and looks like Akai will never change that) also the simple integration of Mpc as vst plug in in your DAW is incredible powerfull. Stay as far away from Midi USB unless there is a driver like what Apple has done, yes its 2024 and we still talking about Midi timing. Great Video and Explanation.

Here is a question on a grey area. While you mention that the MultiClock is not needed for straight MIDI recording, what about if you are triggering external synths with sounds that have delays that are synced to the MIDI clock coming in? I am thinking yes it would be good in that situation but not sure. Seems like it would definitely be good though if you were triggering a sequencer on an external hardware synth that needs to line up with what is in the DAW.

What one can do to get around the first samples being late is to start recording but only activate the device or clip that is playing it on a later measure. For instanceI have taken a clip in Ableton and added a few bars of empty space before it and then record it in. Note that this tip is good for just normal recording in Ableton without a MultiClock as well.

Damn, I guess I rearranged my setup a week too early this video would have saved me some hours of frustration haha. One very important info on the track delay trick that literally took me a whole day to fix: With Ableton you must enable "reduced latency when monitoring" for it to work. Otherwise the multi clock track will not be delayed when recording and monitoring a synth!

got myself a UAD Volt (which has a midi interface built in) some time ago. comes in handy so I don't have to plug an extra cable to my mac every time I want to use the moog

Hey Ricky, where do you get these drum Samples from? Can you recommend some reaoucres for nice house Kicks?

Thanks Ricky - just for info, this approach also works well with the Midronome, which I'm guessing isn't as feature-rich as Multiclock but seems to work in a similar way...

Hello @RickyTinez , have I missed the Logic Pro work around? Or will it come later?

I didn't need to get an ERM multiclock to fix the sync issues that I've always had in Ableton, I just stopped using Ableton. The DAW I'm using now flawlessly syncs and records all my external hardware with my DAW right from the first downbeat of the first bar.

I love sync videos, awesome!

Finally got my multiclock after 3 month wait on back order from Thomann. Thank you Ricky!

So well explained! Seems simple, actually very simple yet so confusing and often misunderstood. Can't make it any clearer than a Ricky Tinez "How to". Thank you 🙏

mmm multiclock the handiest thing for joining decades of synthesizers

Useful: thanks as always Ricky ❤

Really well made demo Ricky

Ricky, I changed the multiclock knobs with the elektron ones and they fit perfectly giving a nicer look :) If, instead of using the audio input, I used the midi one, would the multiclock perform his best in the same way?

I'm running a TR-8S, Moog Grandmother, Moog DFAM, Boss RC-500 Looper (that I primarily use for guitar and bass loops), and a Behringer XR18 + Behringer XTouch. To keep this stuff in timel, I've been using an Arturia Keystep Pro at the top of the chain and basically running a bunch of thrus 😅... it does the job pretty decently, but def has some hiccups, especially when I kick on the soft-synths in Ableton. I think this might be just the ticket for my situation!

Thanks so much!!!!

I'm in the (don't need one club), mainly because I have zero clue what it is or does.😂

My testing showed that a mio10 was just as accurate as a multi-clock. Same jitter, same accuracy.

It's all still way too much trouble, even with this €500 utility device. Unfortunately I'll stick to doing everything with one sequencer. Cool vid for the peeps that want to set it up, though!

Come on Ricky give us the Digitakt 2 Video we are waiting for. I know you work at Elektron and you don't want to be chill, but stick to your own words: "Share the love! Share the knowledge! Knowledge is power! Peace!"❤❤❤❤

another PRO TIP: You can set it up all in exactly the same way as you showed BUT but at the very beginning set the 'shift' knob to +50% - This way, all your gear will start with Ableton immediately AND you will also be able to do the negative shift (from +50% to 0%) Sweet sync spot will be at +50% and you can go all the way forward to +100 or all the way back to 0% (depending on what 'shift range' you set in the settings.)

Interesting video thnx for sharing, i am trying hard and still didn’t get the benefit of the multiclock to be honest 🤔😅 it seems too much work that i would lose the creative moment, in logic i shift the clock till the recording is on the grid and than save it as project/template and it is set and forget , use the retrokits rk06 and in this way things are working.

I have been using a Missing Link Junior to sync my modular to Ableton. It lets me use Ableton Link via wifi and sent clock/reset to my modular. It even has latency compensation. It has been such a tremendous improvement to my workflow. Now every clip I record is perfectly on the Ableton grid. I even have the Ableton clock set to 2 bars, so my DFAM always starts on beat 1.

Excellent discussion on an often misunderstood piece of gear. Thanks for sharing! I sold my Multiclock and switched to Bitwig's HW Clock Out device. Ableton's CV Clock Out does the same thing. They work with DC coupled audio interfaces like my Quantum or your RME. Have you compared Ableton's CV clock out to ERM?

Good explenation, but I still don’t understand why ableton can’t shift the midi notes in time per hardware synth. I think it can be done with Ableton “External Instrument” this should be able to compensate for system latency, effects chain latency and hardware latency. ua-cam.com/video/WkQkzBB6Szc/v-deo.htmlsi=tcBwydqmGJxTJpOx

Fresh cut💈

Even though I don’t own or use a multiclock, I found this video interesting on many levels. So, first of all: tanks for your time to record this and share your knowledge and experience, Ricky! From what I understand, this might help with more recent gear, which is equipped with MIDI, as well as slightly more vintage machines that use, well, DIN sync? Or am I mistaken here? A somewhat tight audio signal to sync stuff might even allow for, let’s say, a tape machine to be the master clock: record the plugin signal to tape, then feed that channel into the midiclock. (I guess Depeche Mode used a tape machine on stage in their early days to play back the pre-recorded rhythms to their songs. But I am not able to imagine a recent life/stage setup that could make use of a multitrack synced to the tape … But I get carried away, sorry. 😂 - Maybe this would be more suitable for a lo-fi recording setup in a studio using a tape machine then. Anyway …) This was quite interesting. Great to know that a solution like that is available - and good to have an idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot, Ricky!

Dude, how super awesome of you to share this.

Well.. i just coded pushing a single button to beat match and key sync..

Fantastic advice Ricky. Always looking to get more understanding of my gear. 🎉

After years of working in synth shops I have had to explain this so many times. I wish I had this video to send people to years ago.

Always GOLD information along with fantastic production - best time of the week!

Always sounds good to me.

I haven't bought either device. But I watched 20 minutes of the Roland tutorial video and felt like I already knew how to use every function of the device. One view of the EP-133 tutorial and I was completely confused.

this was such a good jam!

great sponsor, rme is buying everybody to get some buyers

I definitely thought you knew what you were doing! 😂

Your videos are the realest production videos on the Internet. Say what? House music all night long

Love this one, well done! I wanted to ask you what recording device you used to record the shakers, can you use Zoom also?

You won’t talk about no adjustable slice machine…

Dang! That's one of your best ones yet. Such a sweet groove!! I wish you'd make that into a complete track someday. 👍👍👍👍 Best wishes!!

I so much enjoyed this video! You’re a cool guy Ricky! 😁🔥

Getting ready for a show Memorial Day weekend and came back to this one. Setting long samples up with conditional trigs is such a good hack! I'd been setting the track length and multiplier which is a massive hassle comparatively... Or the yellow play once trigs. Thanks!

This groove is just like late 90s New York deep house. Very cool. Been to some good parties with this type of soundtrack.

Wow thats close!!!!

I respect your view and decision but I am kind of bummed out. I would love to see a top end review or tutorial of the mkII from the OG master himself. I would rather see one from you in quality than many of the already mediocre vids that have flooded the TUbes of Yous in the last week.
