MIDI Noodle · Tempo & sync

One tempo for the whole rack.

Let the Mac lead and send clock to every box, or follow your drum machine and keep MIDI Noodle's sequencers in time with it. Either way, everything starts on the same beat.

The Mac leads

Set a tempo from 20 to 300 BPM, or tap it in. Pick which outputs get clock and start/stop, and your drum machines, arpeggiators and delays lock to it.

Swing lives here too: from straight to the hardest shuffle, for MIDI Noodle's drum and note sequencers and the arpeggiator.

For example:MIDI Noodle runs at 122 BPM; the TR-8S and the Minilogue xd's arpeggiator follow its clock, and pressing Play starts the TR-8S on bar one.

Or it follows

Point the transport at an input that sends clock, like an MPC, a drum machine or a DAW, and MIDI Noodle's sequencers start, stop and keep time with it.

Pressing Play and Stop in MIDI Noodle can start and stop the leader too, in whatever way it understands.

Play and Stop reach the leader

Each kind of leader listens for something different. MIDI Noodle sends the right one, so you can drive the whole setup from either side.

Set up by wizard

Three wizards cover the usual setups, and each one switches off a second clock going into a follower, so its tempo doesn't jump.

Sync tempo

One device leads the tempo; the others follow its clock.

Sync with a DAW

Follow Logic or Ableton's tempo and transport, or have them follow MIDI Noodle.

Sequencer drives the rack

A groovebox plays your synths on their channels and leads the tempo.

Steady clock

Clock that arrives in bursts, like over Wi-Fi, is evened out into steady ticks.
