MIDI clock start

Organelle Patching
1

Hi every body!

I’m new here and i have a question:

is there any patch that behaves like the PLAY button in Ableton?

I mean when i’m in ableton and i press play, my drum machine (MFB 522) starts doing its programmed patterns. But when i connect (though MIDI cable) the organelle to the MFB 522, i can hear the sound of it when i press the button of the organelle, but i can’t find a patch that can start the pattern of the drum machine.

Any suggestions?

there is an ableton link patch around somewhere but you need a little wireless adapter. i assume that would do the trick

so you want organelle to start your MFB 522?
if so , you just need to send it a midi clock start message (=250), using the midiout object.

its unlikely a patch does this, and only this
as for a patch that does this? perhaps one of the patches with a sequencer might send it?
or perhaps there is a midi sequencer that does it?

If I were you, id look for a patch that you want to use, and then look into adding the start/stop ->midi out, if its not already there.

@shreeswifty thank you! the fact is that i don’t want to use ableton.

@thetechnobear Yess! this is what i want.
For exemple it would be cool using the arpeggio that sync the MFB22 but i’m not really into pd.
Btw thank you

good time to learn some PD :slight_smile:

I went to check the arpeggio patch, to see how easy it is , and (theoretically) its easy.

so in the arpeggio patch, you’ll see it uses a sub patch called master metronome,

one of the inlets (left hand side) goes to a toggle, this is the on/off for the metro

what you want to do is…
if this (toggle) is 1, you want to bang the [250] you see in the bottom corner
(someone obviously thought about sending a start, but decided against it :wink:

also you should implement clock stop, which is 252
so copy the [250] change it to 252, and connect it also to the midiout
now, if the toggle is 0 you want to bang the 252

viola, your patch will work lovely… and it will be sync’d
(fyi, the patch is already sending out midi clock ,248)

Yes definitely good times to learn some pd!

I’ll update you in my attempt to modify the patch.

Thank you very much!

I know that I could be exiled from this forum for this.
I’ve tried to follow your instructions but I could not do anything sensible

why would you be exiled… I think more people should be trying to DIY… thats the only way to learn PD.
I preferring helping people do this, rather than doing it for them.
“…, teach a man to fish and he can feed himself forever” (or whatever the quote is :wink: )

ok, which patch are you looking at, I looked at arpeggio synth and sampler, and I think they have a slightly newer version of master-metronome.pd that the one you are looking at…

this is the version i see… and you could adapt the one your using to the same…

ive annotated to explain whats needed, (it would have been faster to patch it, but thats not the point :wink: )

just to be clear, dont just connect to the toggle, you need to put another object or two there …
hint: you want a bang for one wire if its ==0 and another if its not ==0 :slight_smile:

Great!!

you’re right! I’m gonna try to understand more of it now.
Yes the patch i had was an older one that’s why i didn’t recognize the steps you wrote to me.
Let’s see if i’m gonna find out something. :))

Thanks for your patience.
