Stable Midi clock

vvvv beta question
1

Hello everyone,

I need to send a stable midi clock out of vvvv.
I managed to do it using a MidiShortOut and a LFO nodes, but it is far from stable.
I guess it’s because it is linked to the MainLoop speed, so is there a way to send some decent clock out of vvvv regardless of the mainloop ? I was thinking about something that would give priority to the lfo? Or maybe creating a patch in VL, again with an LFO sending a MIDI message ?

Thanks for your help

hello boris,

currently there is no easy way in vvvv to generate a stable midi clock. in general this is a problem of windows and there are page long threads all over the internet about what to do.

for now i would use something like midi-ox, start a clock there and connect all software you want to sync with internal software midi cables…

also worth a try, use a vst in vvvv.audio:

good luck!

Seems to be working, thx !

It’s a shame we have to use an external software to do that…

how was your solution in the end?

in the not so far future VL will have cutting edge timers that will make this pretty easy… but before NODE17 we will not have enough time to research the topic properly.

I used midi-ox to generate a clock and send it to vvvv. Seems to be working, although I haven’t had the time to try it with our all performance setup which can get pretty heavy.

Looking forward for those new timers. Enjoy NODE17 ;-)
