Subject:Acid 5c pro - MTC synch
Posted by: stefan hächler

Hi,
I have some problems with MTC synch in acid 5c (slave). The MTC master is an Alesis HD24 that gives the MTC thru a midi cable into a dm2000 and then thru usb-midi into the computer.

I configured acid as mtc slave. I think all these synch options from acid are right! The funny thing is, that the first time, when i've started acid an enabled the mtc trigger, the synchronisation works great, but after i've stopped the hd24 an run it again (acid is still running) the synchronisation fails! (acid displays the message: "locked" or "wait" at the timedisplay...)

is this a problem of my equipment or my configuration?
is there a change that it will work with acid 6 pro?

ACID doesn’t like to be the slave; it wants to be the master (even though being a slave is allowed). Make ACID the master and you’re MTC problems should be resolved.

thx for the answer...
I've two reasons to keep acid slave:
1.) there is no way to set the hd24 slave, except an alesis synch...
2.) I wanna use the transport keys on the dm2000 (MMC). It's much easier to handle in recording situations.

I just think there must be a way synchronisazing acid. When the hd24 is already running and generating MTC and I start acid the synchronisation works until I'll stop and replay the machine. -> I must restart acid and than it works again...

Or is there an alternative way to synch acid... I don't think acid reacts on midi MMC (from DM2000)? Only one machine can be the master...
