I’ve been trying to sync Renoise to Cubase using MIDI clock.
I use the Hubi loopback cable as a virtual MIDI cable between Cubase and Renoise and Cubase is set to master, Renoise to slave.
Out of Cubase I am sending MIDI Clock and MIDI Timecode information and in Renoise I have set it to receive on the correct MIDI channel and device.
I see MIDI data leaving Cubase and I see MIDI data coming into Renoise by the flashing Red and Green lights, but I can’t get Renoise to start at the same time as Cubase, or either vice versa.
Now it’s time to understand how to make Reason work as MIDI slave in Renoise (I can use it inside Cubase, Nuendo etc… But have many troubles with Renoise), I don’t know what I’m missing… I think I’m so close but… Damn!!
I don’t know how to link to a topic, but it should be possible here is a quote from an old topic.
"Maybe you already tried this… but im writing it anyway.
I allways loved tracking since i got my hands on protracker 1.1b in the early 90’s. For the last few years i used propellerhead reason because i just luuved the machines.
And now i found a way to combine the two great things. I installed a midi loopback (midi yoke). Then i used Renoise midistyle
Sequence in Renoise. Sounds and effects in Reason.
My dream have comed true. Thank you, Renoise!
PS. Both files will have .rns-ending on my hd… doh"
Does anybody know how to make Cubase SX act as SLAVE and Renoise as MASTER ? This would be more useful - playing long WAVs in Cubase (vocals and some guitars) while composing other parts in Renoise
Install MIDIYoke (or equivalent) if you haven’t already.
Load Reason, open preferences -> Advanced MIDI and select MIDI Yoke NT 1 for Remote Control and MIDI Clock Sync.
Load Renoise, and set it to use Directsound rather than ASIO if it isn’t already (Configs -> Audio -> Device Type). Click on Configs -> MIDI and select MIDI Yoke NT 1 from the MIDI Clock Master Settings drop down.
Back in Reason, click on the Enable button under MIDI Sync in the transport control tray.
Mess with the Offset slider in Renoise (again under Configs -> MIDI, perhaps with drums playing in both apps as a guide) to finetune the timing, if needed.
