I tried to slave Cubase SX to my MPC clock once, but that doesn’t work. The developers at Steinberg would never come up with the scary idea that someone would slave Cubase to another sequencer.
This was no problem with Cubase (2.0?) on the Atari though. Back then you could specify midi clock intern or extern.
I think this was the case in the earlier versions of Cubase SX.
In SX 3 though there is now a menu where you can set the timebase for external Midi Timecode and you can also set the MIDI port from which to receive the sync.
I think that kind of menu would not be included if there was no function behind it?
Although, have you guys tried this menu in SX 3 btw.? It’s called the “Sync setup…” under “Transport” menu.
Oh,
and this might be due to the fact that I’m using the oldschool trick to get more resolution (speed 1,5).
Gotta test this before saying anything more. I think this might well be the cause for the problem… Will post back l8ter
