Problem:
• Logic does not start/stop when I press Play/Stop on the Nome.
• The tempo from the Nome is not automatically picked up by Logic.
• Sometimes there is even a delay of 1–2 seconds before Logic reacts.
What I want to achieve:
• Nome II as a tight master clock.
• Logic should properly start/stop and follow the tempo via U-SYNC.
Has anyone managed to get this working in Logic? Am I missing a specific setting in Logic or on the Nome?

Re: Logic does not start/stop when I press Play/Stop on the Nome.
Hi 
Thank you for asking here!
Logic is unfortunately not a DAW that can follow MIDI Clock, only Ableton, Bitwig, FL Studio, and Reason can do that. This has nothing to do with the Nome, but only with the "follow MIDI Clock" feature in the DAW.
On the other hand, this type of synchronisation uses USB-MIDI and is quite imprecise (yet practical).
What you should use is U-SYNC (as you're doing), which is very precise, and syncing the Nome to Logic (i.e. the other way). Some DAWs have the possibility of making a control script which gives the Nome the possibility of controlling the DAW, which is what you want to do. As of today this is not possible in Logic.
We're trying to make a control script for Logic which will come out eventually.

Hi ,
Just bough Nome 2
didn't want to start a new thread as I have similar issue only with Ableton 12.2.6 :
1) Tying to sync Ableton as slave and NOME 2 as master to --> EMU SP1200 ----> audio tracking into Ableton 12.2.6
2) The goal here is to track SP1200 starting on the beat without drift over time (SP1200 is notorious for that more than MPC3000/2000Xl for example)
3) can't get Nome play button to start Ableton play or recording :
Nome2 starts/stops SP1200 but not Ableton
I think i followed all settings in Ableton as mentioned in U-Sinc manual and numerous videos on Utubes and Instagram - no success
Nome 2 U-Sync plugin does changes the tempo in Ableton but it doesn't start it..
puzzled.what am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance for any ideas
peace

And check the "A.PL" (autoplay) setting on your Nome
