Using Audio Sync; Plugin; Sync Track - E-RM Multiclock User Manual

Using Audio Sync

To synchronize the multiclock to a master DAW, you should always
use the Audio Input and avoid MIDI or USB MIDI under all circum-
stances.
This requires in all cases the following prerequisites:
• A computer running your favourite DAW
• 1 mono audio output channel of the soundcard, exclusively
connected to the multiclock
• The ability to load our VST/AU plugin or to generate a sync track
with a special sample provided on our website
You can also use the methods described here to sync the multiclock
to hardware samplers while avoiding MIDI Clock.

Plugin

The easiest way to set everything up is to use our VST/AU plugin:
• Get the plugin for your operating system on our website and
install it according to the instructions of your DAW
• Pull it on an empty track in your DAW
• The plugin interface is simple, the only thing you can configure is
time signature. Open the plugin window and set it to the same
value that you have configured for all other machines
• Assign the track's audio output to the soundcard channel you
have connected your multiclock to and set the fader initially to
0 dB
Here you go, that's it. Set the multiclock to accept Audio In accord-
ing to section 3.1 and hit play on your DAW.
The BPM led on the multiclock starts to flash and the display
shows the actual tempo.

Sync Track

Another simple method to syncronize the multiclock to DAWs and
hardware samplers is to use a sync track. All you need is one mono
Both balanced and unbalanced out-
puts work fine.
