Using MIDI Sync (in to Helix) with Logic Pro X

Here's the deal (I asked this on FB, but can't find the discussion anywhere...)

Same patch,

Two different songs.

 

Turned the option on for Logic to send MIDI sync out (which has unnecessarily obtuse descriptions) and in one song it works and my light blinks blue, and in the other it just doesn't.

WHo's doing this (I know, brand new feature) and share some tips to help us all out!

Hi Peter - If you are using Logic's  File - Project Settings - Synchronization - MIDI tab - MIDI Clock options, they are not global. So my first guess would be that you need to go activate these settings in the 2nd project, and be sure to save the project with it active if you want to remain that way.

Thanks.

 

I did in fact do that, but the options are confusing. Set the same way in both songs, it didn't work.

 

This will all become moot when Helix Native hits, because I rarely print time based effects like delays and synchronized tremolos.

The songs are separate projects within Logic I take it?  I'm by no means an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.  That and I spent half a day yesterday chasing MIDI issues yesterday and learning as I go.  :lol:

Same patch, two different songs. Works on one, not the other.

My biggest issue was Logic turning something or other on in another track that caused a stream of MIDI data to fly like crazy, which would prevent the clock data from reaching my Helix.  Not sure if that's your issue, but it's easy to chase by turning the MIDI monitor on in the "LCD" panel or using a third party MIDI monitor app.  The latter of which has saved me a TON of headaches over the last 24 hours getting my backing tracks set up right.
