How To Sync Numerology to Ableton Live via MIDI Clock.
- Start both programs. If you have installed the Numerology ReWire Driver,
you have to start Numerology first, otherwise it will open up in ReWire mode.
In Live, bring up the Preferences dialog, and click on the "MIDI / Sync" tab
In the "MIDI Ports" section, there is a list of all your MIDI inputs and outputs.
Scroll down until you see the outputs. You will see four items listed for Numerology
(Numerology In 1 - 4). You can use any of these four virtual ports for sending
sync to Numerology, or you can use an IAC Bus, if you have created one. For whichever
port you select, click "On" in the Sync column.
You may also want to expand the settings panel for that MIDI output (click on
the triangle to the left of the MIDI Port title) and make further settings.
For details on these items, see the Live User Manual.
NOTE: Due to the afore-mentioned bug in MIDI Clock we recommend you
set the "MIDI Clock Type" to Pattern.
- In Numerology, bring up the Sync Setup dialog, via the Numerology menu. Make
sure "MIDI Clock" is chosen for the Sync In setting, and that you choose the same
MIDI port for sync input that you chose for sync output in Live.
Click "Save" to close the dialog.
In the Numerology transport, click the "power button" next to the sync label.
This button allows you to globally turn sync on and off for a Numerology project,
both for sync transmission and sync reception. When you click this button, and
sync reception is setup, Numerology's transport will be disabled, indicating that you
should use the transport on the sync master.
Now you should be ready to go: In Live, add a clip to your session, or open
an existing session. When you start Live, Numerology should start and play
in tempo. If there is an issue, re-check your settings.
