Hi,
In my setup I have all my MIDI devices connected to a iConnectivity MIO 10 which handles all of the MIDI routing / merging. I'm trying to use my sequencer (a Deluge) as the master clock and have set the NDLR to external clock mode. In this case, the MIO 10 will route the clock from the Deluge to all the other MIDI devices, including the NDLR.
The problem I'm having is that the NDLR is echoing the clock to its MIDI outputs and so back to the MIO 10. This makes sense when the instruments are directly connected to it's MIDI outputs. However, in my case it means I get two sets of clock signals, which are then merged by the MIO10 and so cause all sorts of problems. It doesn't help that the Deluge auto detects internal / external mode for the clock by listening for clock messages. As soon as the NDLR echos a clock tick, the Deluge switches from internal to external clock and everything stops.
So, is there a setting in the NDLR to disable the clock echo? The MIO 10 lets me work around the problem by filtering out real time messages from the NDLR's MIDI port but it means remembering to undo this change if/when I want to make the NDLR the master clock. I was wondering if there is a way doing this where I only have to reconfigure the NDLR...
