Hi Adam I love all your work re this CMI..look for all the great updates again I ask can we have an external sync clock source? meaning I can slave this to my daw such as logic audio ...I so want this and cant quite understand the rationale behind not doing it? the original CMI 11 slaved to SMPTE and the 11x with midi external clock ..also both had individual AUDIO outs per voice ..in keeping with faithful replication surely it cant be so hard? yes the CMI was a stand alone DAW in its own right BUT it did have the capacity to marry with the outside world. awaiting your reply thanks simon.
hi Adam I’ll reach out see what I can find might steer some people your way re midi etc… I think it was Tom Stewart who did the smpte interface as for midi well Peter Vogel did attend the first conference of companies hammering out the protocol? As for opening the audio out that’s something you probably don’t need schematics for.. thing being in my studio I want a dedicated quasi CMI computer synced to daw like logic audio with audio outs to run through the likes of focusrite 18i20 cheers I’ll get back to you simon
Hi ADAM just Ań update I have put my feelers out re MIDI I might get lucky however here is a thought..you know the protocols of ethernet are widely available..it is my understanding that you can slave via ethernet anyway ? it does not only accomodate sync but upto streaming as many as 64 seperate audio Chanels unsure if this be mono or stereo haven't checked worse case scenario 32..so yea have a think about incorporating this option because I have a spare powerful IMAC heaps of ram huge ssd and heaps of horsepower to run QB and hooking it via ethernet is simple as can be..other wise stay tuned if I get a response from my investigation also you can use off the shelf go between interface for audio over ethernet such as AVB or sound flower the later has a shitty or non existent GUI where as AVB more sexy and configurable still though sound flower does incorporate the full 64 channel option.. cheers simon.
