Question #4

Hi i loved this, I only have two questions, i see that this clock works really good specifically for volcas and PO's but if I would want to sync an ios Nanoloop (that can be synced by midi but i think it just works if you use a USB cable, because i tried to use the trs jacks and it didn't worked).

what should i use a usb host or just a usb jack? how would the code be to tell the arduino thats the usb is a midi out as your midi 5 pin jack?

I guess, is sync provided by microphone pole on 4 pole mini jack?

LeGabash commented 3 years ago

Mmmm now that you mentioned it no, when i tried the sync I was using normal tip ring sleeve cables and the two trs jacks. should I use a 4 pole mini jack to try this?

syntetyczny commented 3 years ago

Trace microphone at 4pole mini jack and connect it to sync signal.

I have bad news my friend. u.u I tried that with a trs to trrs cable made by me and with an irig copy to send the midi signal; Also i tried to send the signals from the usb port with an iphone adaptor and from the 3.5mm plug of the ipad, but any of those ways worked. 20210209_031822

My last try is going to be: recreating the hobbytronics usb midi host from their site, for trying to achive a midi communication from the nanoloop app as a "master", if you have any other ideas, i will apreciate them.
