Oh, sorry Thorsten, I was 100% sure that I had already answered to your post. For routing (yes that's what I meant) the incoming midi messages on a GM5x5x5 to its midi out ports I have been suggested the midi-ox. So, you say that with this device I would have 4 midi I/O and 4 USB? I see only one USB. Anyway, 8 midi I/O plus one USB and no latency from the use of a routing software sounds good, but it seems quite difficult to build... You say that the latency which midi-ox could add with the not integrated routing make the GM5x5x5 a deal breaker for my purposes?

Hello Thorsten, thanks for the answer. Do you have some other solution in mind or do you mean that this could maybe be the best (given the OT limitation)? Could you say a few words about the clockbox? Apart for its additional features, compared to the gm5 would it be a better solution for my main sync concern? I am also concerned with something else: I do not have to divide only the midi clock, but also other midi commands, because for example I will have to use the midi keyboard to control at least 3 things (shruthi-1, blofeld, Ableton's synths) and maybe also to play chromatically the OT. I suppose, but I am not sure, that I will be able to send the midi notes via usb to the computer and then route them to the GM5 to divide them among the different outs. But I could also send the notes via midi to the midi interface. Can you confirm that the GM5 (and/or clockbox) could do that too? Btw, how would this routing happen? Will I need some special program? Thanks again for the help!

Nope, the OT is a must for me. It can sync slaved very well, at least while used as sampler/sequencer. But when you use its looper, the OT must be Master because it needs very precise sample accuracy for the looper to work together with the OT's timestretch algorythm... Thanks for the tip. But no info on the wiki.Only this but does not explain how does it work. I have also been suggested the gm5x5x5 so to avoid a long chain of devices, but rather send the midi clock from the OT to Ableton and then have it redistributed to the 5 outs of the GM. Do you know if that is possible? I also see the Midi Router... But I suppose the GM5x5x5 is the cheapest of all? I get lost in this site, I cannot even understand how to order, and if the order includes all what I need (chip, board, components) or not. Thanks!

Que tal che? Buena onda? I am italian but I speak Argentinian Spanish very well because I lived there many years. My name is Sergio, which in Italian does not sound much different from how you Agentinian people would pronounce Ser Yo (which I would translate as "being me", which is quite cool :D) Let me know what you think of that theremin. I find it extremely beautiful, and the sound from the clips seems very good (after all it is a Paia based). Moduino midi implementation is told to be good too. I can´t wait to have it and see what I can do with it, and with the WSG connected to it! :) Sergio

Hello! I am not (yet) a DIY maker, but I knew this forum thanks to some comments on Mutable Instruments Forum, and I´m totally impressed by what I see here. I am going to build a Shruthi-1 soon so I suppose that once in the DIY world, I will come here more often :) But in this moment I just had some doubts about midi syncing and I considered interesting to ask to midi experts here. I am setting up a setup (uhm, that was redundant) for live looping experimental improvisational performances. My midi hardwares: -Elektron Octatrack (needs to be set as Master in order to loop well) -Kaoss Pad 3 -Electribe EMX1 -Waldorf Blofeld Desktop -Shruthi-1 SMR4MK2 (coming soon) I will also use Ableton Live Suite 8 with Max4Live, as a live looper, running in a Windows7 notebook where I am going to put a SSD disk and expand RAM at 4gb or 8 depending on the price I find (CPU is a P6200 dual core). My audio interface is a Roland Quad Capture ("QUAD-CAPTURE incorporates a high-performance crystal master clock. By syncing the digital circuitry, driver, and DAW program to this clock, jitter and latency are reduced to a minimum"). My Midi controllers: -Behringer FCB1010 with UnO Chip -Behringer BCR2000 -Novation Impulse 49 (with built in arpeggiator) -Novation Remote ZERO SL Mk2 And if all goes well I am getting a DIY Theremin by Elettrorama with Moduino-so midi out implementation. Well, I am totally new to music, I just always wanted to make music and now I felt it was the good moment to change life. But, for example, I did not even think that I could need to sync all this. Now in Elektron Forum I read that there are often problems of syncing between Octatrack and Ableton. And I started to fear, "how will I sync all this!?". I was said "you need an innerclock System product". They look wonderful, but they are so expensive! I would like to ask you, what would you consider the most effective and as cheap as possible syncing solution? Cheers and super thanks! Ser

Hello, sorry for reviving an old thread but I am (if all goes well) in the process of buying this: Elettrorama´s Heterodyne The midi out is optional. Of course I asked for it. I do not know much about midi (and zero about DIY) so no chances for me to make one before my hands will start shaking for oldness. And anyway I am happy to buy this one because it is very beautiful, full of features, and quite cheap for all what offers. And it is DIY, which means, I am supporting the work of a DIY maker, which if in the past was not a alue for me, now, thanks to the people of Mutable Instruments, I have understood better the DIY world, where I will enter soon, building a Shruthi-1... If you want more info I suggest you to contact directly Elettrorama. I just know what I read there (theremin based on Paia, midi on Moduino). I am also planning to buy their Weird Sound Generator (based on MFO but far more beautiful than any other I have seen, and with some extra), which has got 2 cv out and 1 gate out and so I can connect it to the theremin, which is cool! :) Cheers
