Nome II - Syncing external synths/drum machine with a mixer

[AdamJamesTechno]

Hi all,

Is there a way to use the Nome II to sync my TR8S and TD3 with a Pioneer V10? I've tried the direct MIDI DIN output from the V10 itself but I find it very unreliable and resort to manually beat matching with the tempo knob on the TR8S.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Hi Adam

Looking up online it seems the V-10 has many audio outputs, so if you can get one of them to play a sync signal that you can send to the Nome, then the Nome would be sync'ed to your V-10. The sync signal needs to be loud audio pulses sent every 96th note (24ppq). You can generate such an audio signal in a WAV file using this tool:

• Mac: https://download.simntonic.com/software ... or-1.0.pkg
• Windows: https://download.simntonic.com/software ... or-1.0.zip

Alternatively, if you wait a bit for firmware 5.0, you will have plenty tools to match the timing on Nome and V-10 manually:

• the smart tap tempo feature
• time/tempo nudging
• BPM decimals
• sync to 1ppq (i.e. sending a simple kickdrum beat to the Nome which the Nome will be able to follow)
