Delay FX on mixer controlled by Tap Temp via midi note
Set up midi chunk to fire tap tempo command (no count in)
Applied 4 instances of midi chunk in line with bass drum of audio track
I get different tempos on the mixer FX each time i run the track (tempo can vary between 1 and 3 bpm of the target tempo)
Has anyone experienced this kind of behaviour before?
I have tried increasing and decreasing the number of taps and still get varied results.
I have tried firing the command from Ableton Live and the tempo is set correctly each time.
Could this be a timing issue within Show Buddy Setlist?
I use Midi Notes from Showbuddy to set Tempo in Resolume using the Tap Tempo feature of Resolume. In Showbuddy, I align a midi chunk to the click track intro to my songs. I typically send four midi notes for the Tap. The accuracy depends on how well I align to the Click track in Showbuddy, but it's close enough for what I need.
I know that DMXIS allows synching to a Midi Clock, but I doubt Showbuddy does. I haven't tried it.
To sum up, I haven't found anyway to get a consistent tempo from Midi chunks and Tap Tempo, but I don't have as tight of timing requirements.
Instead of placing multiple MIDI chunks on the timeline, try creating a single MIDI chunk containing 4 events, spaced apart using the Time column. For example, the example below fires 4 notes @ 120bpm...
Obviously, you need to create separate chunks for each tempo you need, but the accuracy should be better.
