[implemented] Send MIDI Clock

Well, just recently I had a band in the studio with guitars recorded through a helix. The high end sounded like a plastic bag. Ended up reamping everything through the axe. No more plastic.. even without midi beatclock


Edit: this was supposed to end with an😂

Thank you. Ive overwhelmed myself into a corner of getting NOTHING done. I envy the guy with a little Behringer interface and a 5 year old laptop writing great songs.

I think the key could be limiting yourself to using as little as possible when creating, and expand when you are done writing! Sorry for derailing from the topic in this wish. Got carried away by the pictures!!

a little bummer today to find out that the III can't send midi clock. yeah, I get it... priorities and all that but considering that the Axe is most likely the brains in most users' rack,s a device like that "should" really have that feature....
 
@FractalAudio

Out of interest, is there a technical or design decision for why the Axe III doesn't send midi clock out? I'm just wondering if I should stop holding out hope for this, or if it is just a case of priorities and this being far down the list because not a lot of people want it or something like that??

If there's a technical reason or it just isn't part of the design philosophy, I will cry a bit and then forget all about it. :D
 
yea, I've long wondered about this as well. It'd be so darn handy- I've gotten into some ambient stuff lately, and running some of the interesting time based pedals out there like the Microcosm or Nightsky in a way so that you could go to your preset on the Axe, and the tempos on the outboard gear would sync up would be pretty darn amazing. I don't have any of the later Chase Bliss stuff, but those seem like they would be natural candidates for that sort of thing too. (the blooper, mood, or even the Loupe, etc). I'm running a SMARTclock right now, and it works, but it'd be so much simpler to have the Axe as the master brain of it all and not have to worry about getting everything to cooperate with an outboard master clock and it's presets. That can be a bit of a pain for live work.

This is the handiest solution I've run across:

Interesting device- I could see that being useful. I'm currently using a SMARTclock where the Axe sends the midi command to the SMARTclock for the preset for the SMARTclock, which sends the tempo to everything else. The SMARTclock can send tap tempo as well, so delays that can take an external tap (i.e. non-midi) can be sync'd as well...
but really, this would be so much easier to just have midi tempo send from the Axe. That'd be the bee's knees.
 
I just bought an Aeros Looper and I'm kinda shocked the Axe doesn't send Sync messages, it's painfully obvious why it's needed. A device like this with 4 loops is bound to be used with a lot of other pedals that require syncing to the main unit, and I'm obviously going to want to control it with my FC12 which, you know, has 12 switches and a display so setting tap tempo from there where I do all the switching is the right thing to do.
