Usb and latency ableton

[Jesse Johannesen]

Hi Jesse & Rob,

I have received my NDLR couple days ago and I'm having similar Midi issues where (PAD, Drone, Motif 1 & Motif 2) are all nicely synced to each other but not quite with ableton.
NDLR is 0.0.1 bar behind Ableton Clock.

My setup:
NDLR connected via USB
NDLR Clock - USB 1

Ableton settings:
NDLR USB 1 - Channel 13 - Pad - Arturia VST
NDLR USB 1 - Channel 14 - Drone - Arturia VST
NDLR USB 1 - Channel 15 - Motif 1 - Moog Sub 37
NDLR USB 1 - Channel 16 - Motif 2 - Arturia VST

I also run my moog sub 37 & ableton push 2 in ableton and haven't had any Midi issues to date, which leads me to believe it is a NDLR centric midi issue.

Really loving the unit so far & keen to get this resolved in order to add my elektron rytm to the mix

Hey Ricky, I'd love to help out with this issue.
It sounds like the NDLR is receiving clock on usb1, is that correct? And that Live is sending the transport messages,  play, stop etc?
If this is all correct, then what I want you to try is to set the bpm really slow in ableton, turn on the metronome. While live is stopped enable play all on the NDLR and then hit play on Live. what we want to look for here is the bpm indicator just below the center of the screen, there is a blue/red circle next to the bpm, this indicates downbeats. When live starts playing the downbeat should match up with the blue dot, and the next three beats will show up as red.
Try this out and let me know what your results are.

All the best,
Jesse
