Hi,

Just got my Nome 2 this week.

I'm a bit concerned that I got the wrong end of the stick but I want it for live use as well so its ok however...

I'm using a Prophet 5 with Ableton Live 12 over USB midi. I was hoping that the Nome would help me to record the synth back in without the latency issues. I'm just sending midi notes direct from Ableton to the prophet. I had hoped that U-sync could help with this but maybe I have misunderstood.

If it cant be done with usb midi what If I just use a midi interface and standard midi cables.

If there is any way of using the Nome to achieve what I'm trying to do I'd be grateful if somebody could point me in the direction of how to set it up.

Many thanks.

Hi

As mentioned in the other thread you will love the Nome for Live use - it's very good at that.

For recording the way you want to record, you will have to wait for U-SYNC 2.0. You can still use the Nome to record (it will "forward" the MIDI Notes on its MIDI-DIN ports) but for now you will get the same results (or maybe a tiny bit better) than if you were using any other MIDI interface.
From U-SYNC 2.0 the MIDI notes will be able to go "through U-SYNC" instead of through the USB-MIDI interface of the Nome.

Until 2.0, the concept is to use an external sequencer that receives the MIDI Clock (which does go through U-SYNC) and has the MIDI sequence for you, instead of writing the whole sequence as notes directly in the DAW.
