Thank you! I have suffered from the same confusion about clock in and out. This really helped!

@braintree56 Год назад

Glad it helped!!!

My DFAM + MOTHER32 combo, just arrived last night. Adding to my Subharmonicon. You complete me! The knowledge you share, is like manna from heaven. It's like shiny gold nuggets, in this old prospector's pan. Good stuff, thanks for sharing, and best wishes for your continued success. Subscribed

This is a huge help just like WithTheGrain mentioned, I’m also going to have to watch this a good few times to really get my head around it and also see how it works with the subharmonicon tbh Thanks very much for this important topic 🙏🏻

@chrisrossi5176 Год назад

@@braintree56 It has been recently, i've been wondering if it was the mother and subharmonicon or my soundcard etc lol

@WithTheGrain Год назад

yeah, this is going to take a few revisits :)

@WithTheGrain Год назад

I have read the manual, but this video makes me realize how much I didn't understand. The ability to set both the incoming and outgoing PPQN offers much more flexibility than I realized, especially knowing the sequencer can be further adjusted against that clock. It seems like having the Mother32 as the bridge between the DFAM and SubH would allow you to have way more variety than was apparent at first glance.

@braintree56 Год назад

Yeah, definitely. There's a lot of flexibility here...

I suffer from this confusion and you made my head hurt more :( No worries... really love all you other videos though!

@GlennArango Год назад

totally! it also doesn't help that i am not a trained musician... i don't know the details of all the music theory you used to explain it 🤷🏻‍♂️ thanks again for all your content!!!!

@braintree56 Год назад

@@GlennArangoI have so many mixed feelings about music theory. In my younger years I was totally taken by it and loved learning it... As much as I could. I'm not sure it really helped me become a better musician though... Maybe up to a point. Funny thing is now I'm really interested in generating random sequences - which has nothing to do with theory... Ha!

@GlennArango Год назад

i also think i might have an issue with my M32... it seems awful touchy when it comes to all things tempo, or... my lack of music theory wrt tempo shows! all those bits in the manual about triplets, straight notation, etc... my brain hurts 🤣😂🤣😂 just need to get it back to factory default and all will be good in the universe again

@johngirvin3671 Месяц назад

All good. Can you comment on Clock mode? Using Single Clock Advance I can’t get divisions on synced Mothers.

@JitterbugBoy72 Год назад

If I am syncing to MIDI gear - does the midi clock just replace the PPQN thing and then the sequencer steps just run according relative to that (and can be changed to run as triplets etc relative to midi clock???) does that actually make sense as a question? Great video series by the way - I am learning loads (only going through them slowly though as each one opens up new stuff for me to play with!!)

@braintree56 Год назад

Thanks. Yes, this makes sense as a question (sort of). The PPQN setting will need to match the master clock you are using. So if you're using another device as a master clock that is sending 16 PPQN (pulses per quarter note) and the Mother is set to 24 PPQN - then the two clocks will be off. So you should make them match either by changing the setting on the Mother or the setting on your other device. (Or neither if they are sync'd up). Once they are sync'd - yes! The sequencer runs relative to that and you can change the values (like run as triplets). Basically the PPQN is how the Mother interprets the incoming signal. The sequencer plays notes relative to that signal.

@philippe939 10 месяцев назад

This is a very good explanation. I have the following issue: In FL Studio 21, with the MIDI OUT option, when I try to let the sequencer start from the SYNC function on the proper midi channel and port, it starts but behaves strangely regarding the clock. It is as if the two clocks (mother 32 and FL Studio) are conflicting. Is there a way to avoid this?? It would be helpful. Thx

@braintree56 10 месяцев назад

Hmm. Are they in sync at all or are they moving at totally different rates? Here's where I would start looking: 1. Make sure the settings in the setup manual are all at their defaults. 2. Make sure that the sequencer divisions are set to 16th notes AND make sure the clock is set to 16th notes. Do you have a different synth you could use to test to see if the problem exists there too? Does the Tempo of the Mother change when you turn the tempo knob while it's being clocked by FL studio?

@karolwasilewski6528 2 месяца назад

Hi. If I buy M32 and DFAM in the set and buy Subharmonicon later, I will get the same in the set, what would I buy three together? I will not get a stand but instructions and patches?

@braintree56 2 месяца назад

That's the path I took. Some of the instructions and patches are different, but you can find all of them on their website. The only real issue is the stand.

@66Gollum 4 месяца назад

Maybe I really have to update, but I was totally confused when I started to use also MIDI - it took over the clock - "time" input is not working!? Can I change this?

@braintree56 4 месяца назад

You can turn off "Follow Midi Clock" on page 8 of setup mode. Option 1. Just make sure it's deselected. That should do it. You may need to update to do this depending on how long it's been since you last update. I believe this was something they changed with an update a few years ago. If you have the older firmware, I think the option is on page 3... Or something... If your setup mode doesn't have 8 pages of options, you have the old firmware.

@MikeLanders100 12 дней назад

I have managed to sync my M32 and DFAM exactly as you have demonstrated. However, when clocking out from my Matriarch to the M32, whatever I do, the M32 plays two notes for every one on the Matriarch. PPQN are 8 on both M32 has single clock advance mode & all other relevant Matriarch global settings set to default. Changing M32 sequencer note output has no impact. really tearing my hair out. BTW thanks for a superb set of well explained tutorials.

@MikeLanders100 11 дней назад

Just worked it out. I needed to set the PPQN for each instrument to it's own default. That is 2 PPQN for the Matriarch and 4 PPQN for the Mother 32. I had been under the impression that synced instruments should have the same PPQN.

@braintree56 10 дней назад

Glad you worked it out!

@312dasbkilla Месяц назад

Thank you. How do I sync the sequencer on the mother 32 with Ableton

@braintree56 29 дней назад

I'm not very well versed with Ableton, but you should be able to do it through midi. In the Ableton Preferences you can set it to sync to the clock.

@312dasbkilla 29 дней назад

@@braintree56 thank you. Will give it a try

@TisZaid Год назад

Ok, noob question, i cant figure out what clock output PPQN to change on the Mother 32 - Currently every 16 notes played on my m32, the DFAM moves 1 step. What am i doing wrong?

@braintree56 Год назад

Hey. It could be a few things. I'm assuming that you are going from the Assign output to Advance of the DFAM. 1. PPQN should be set to 4 (sixteenth note). That's the default. (Page 5 of Set-up Menu) 2. Assignable Output Jack should be set to "Sequencer Clock" (Page 1 of Set-up menu option #2) 3. Mother Sequencer should be 16th notes. Hold KB+STEP and turn the Tempo knob. Put it to option 6 (Sixteenth notes) That should make everything work together nicely. (These are the defaults). Let me know if that resolves it.

@TisZaid Год назад

@@braintree56 My issue was the assignable output jack, everything is working now. Thank you so much for the quick response, you're amazing!

@s0undw4v3s 6 месяцев назад

At the same time as the DFAM, the Mother produces sound when 6 yellow lights illuminate in the setting... Not 4, as in the video. Why is this? I suspect that something is wrong with the Mother-32. In the first bank, all eight positions light up at different speeds, even when I turn the TEMPO/GATE LENGTH knob to the lowest bpm.

@braintree56 6 месяцев назад

I'm not sure... I'm sorry, it's difficult to get a sense without being able to actually see it. I hope you figure it out.
