Hi folks,
so I got my lightning to USB B cable (no need for "adapter") and have Bandhelper on my iPhone or iPad sending midi beat clock to the Axe Fx III. It works, BUT watching the tempo screen the tempo seems to "bounce".
I set my devices to send tempo and stop after 4 bars (no need to run it constantly) and with a tempo of 135 on a song, I sometimes get 135 others 133 or 137. I tried shortening the time down to 1 or 2 bars but the results were worse.
What I am wondering is if instead of beat clock I can just send a sysex message with the tempo of the song?
A concrete example of doing this would be great!
This is just early testing, my ultimate plan is to setup Bandhelper in a master/slave configuration where the drummer will be the master and the 3 of us using the Axe Fx will be slaves. Minimally, I just want to get all 3 devices to get the same tempo so our time based effects are all in sync.
I'm comfortable with midi, but I don't know if midi beat clock would even work in that scenario?
Input from those with experience is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Kevin
