Hello,
I have been trying to fix my endless problems with the Prophet X on Studio One, but maybe I'm missing something. I'm grateful to anyone who can help. Whenever I use the prophet (with its own sounds or as a midi input), I am able to play the keys just fine, there is no latency while I play. So, I played some chords, almost perfectly in time with the beat.. only to find out S1 had received the midi signal much earlier than the beat, for some reason. So the chords are way ahead of the beat. (see the attached picture) What is happening? I have to quantize manually and then I would also probably lose the beauty of the actual performance. It does not happen with my Minilogue XD though. Both are connected via USB. Any solutions? Maybe there is an option to set one external instrument (not both) to have a default midi offset whenever I play it? EDIT: In order to have a more precise reproduction of what I played, I found out I have to set a MIDI Record offset of around 67ms when I play the Prophet X. This is global setting though (like the appearence for example), that cannot be set individually for each instrument or even for each song project...

Welcome to the Forum!
You might try changing the timestamp setting in advanced options and see if that helps your situation. I've never had to use a midi offset, what happens when you don't use it? Data is ahead or behind?

Tacman7 wroteWelcome to the Forum! Thank you! When I don't use the MIDI offset, MIDI signal is recorded as I showed in the first post. Around 65ms ahead of the beat. It seems to be related to the Prophet X only. I connected it both via USB and MIDI din but with no solution. Using my Prophet X has been quite painful so far. So many problems. I have to activate it only when I use the prophet and disable it when using a normal midi or my Minilogue. It's kind of annoying, I wish I could set it to activate automatically whenever I am playing the Prophet, and disable whenever I play any other instruments. That would be useful..

Someone suggested getting the E-RM Multiclock, but before I do that, I wanted to know if there were any solutions..

I use a usb to midi interface. It's always on so your midi ports always show up. I like using legacy midi because you can plug anything in and use it without having to reboot the DAW. I'm using an old midex: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Steinberg-Mide ... 4218537780?

I'm kinda new to the midi interfaces. So you plug your synths into this and then the midi interface to the computer, if I understand correctly. Some people have suggested the E-RM multiclock, what would you recommend for a modern midi interface? Are there any other alternatives but with usb only? I guess that would take less cables to do all the routing..

I used to have a lot of outboard gear, a setup like that needs a good multiport midi interface.
But you already have a midi port on your interface, just try a couple of cables and see if it improves things. Not so many around now, here's one: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... xpress-128 But I've had no problems with the old hardware.

Tacman7 wroteI used to have a lot of outboard gear, a setup like that needs a good multiport midi interface. I have midi ports and I use them with Roland Midi cables, but I had no luck with that. Sequential told me it seems more like a driver problem, but I haven't found a solution. Today I did some uninstalling/installing drivers and so on, until I thought I managed to fix the midi offset problem, but then I got a blue screen and lost the progress. I hope I can find a definitive solution to this problem..

kisnou wrote Maybe show me how you set that up. There's no driver required with legacy midi ports. I would have another go at using your midi ports. You use the keyboard an an input device and use the synth as a sound module?

Tacman7 wrotekisnou wrote Thank you, okay, I attached some screenshots. My experience with the Prophet has just been so painful so far.. p.s. I was talking about the audio interface's drivers I'll write as much information as I can to be clear. 1. Prophet XL is connected via MIDI to my Focusrite 18i20 3rd gen with Rolan MIDI cables. (Where as my Minilogue XD is connected via USB directly to the computer). Nothing else is connected to the audio interface, which then goes to my computer usb 3.0 port. 2. Prophet XL has been set up following the instructions shown in the videos by Presonus' Gregor and everything should be fine, but I've attached the pictures (Prophet XL - Instrument & Keyboard setup) to show the settings. 3. I use the keyboard of the Prophet XL as a MIDI input device to control VSTs and such. Otherwise, depending on what I need, I have the midi and audio tracks set up to record its own sounds (I know there is the AUX channel but I prefer it to be this way). MAIN PROBLEM (when playing the synth's keyboard to send midi only): Midi notes from the Prophet's keyboard seem to be received 'earlier' compared to what I played. SECOND PROBLEM (when playing AND recording the synth itself): When I record the synth's own sounds, the midi notes are still ahead of the beat, but not only that: the audio from the synth seems to be delayed instead, or better, there seems to be a latency as shown in the picture 'Visual Representation of the audio latency' . The audio is received a bit later compared to the midi. ADDITIONAL INFO: I attached the pictures Audio Device - settings & Audio Device - Processing Settings to show information about my interface. To me, the latency shown in the Processing Settings seems to be quite high, with a low sample rate and minimum dropout protection. Isn't it too much latency? My Minilogue XD has none of these problems. The Prophet XL OS is updated to its latest version.

Why are you sending Midi Clock and MTC to the Prophet? You would never send both these at once either. Its either one or the other. Also there is bug currently sending MTC that is being addressed so one should not use MTC at all right now.
Try turning both them off first and see if that changes things. I doubt the Prophet needs or even responds to MTC. Unless you are needing to sync anything to Studio One, don't send any clocks at all to the Prophet. The clock signal can really clog up the midi signal. The only time you would need the clock signal is if you were wanting to sync the effects or arps etc in the Prophet. If you are not doing that then best to have no clocks being sent.

The pic showing the audio latency...
That's from a standing start? I always have it running and use punch in to record between the locators. Did you try the timestamp checkbox mentioned earlier?

Jemusic wroteWhy are you sending Midi Clock and MTC to the Prophet? You would never send both these at once either. Its either one or the other. Also there is bug currently sending MTC that is being addressed so one should not use MTC at all right now. The MTC is usually disabled, In that moment I had enabled it to see if it changed anything, my bad. It is disabled now. I usually use arps and sounds that I want to be synced with S1 so I have the MIDI Clock enabled. However, I disabled it and maybe it got a bit worse? Though MIDI is still ahead of the beat and audio is still recorded with latency. That's from a standing start? I always have it running and use punch in to record between the locators. Even if I give many bars of precount, nothing changes. The attached picture shows a recording that happened after 15 seconds of 'precount'. My prophet is always running aswell.. Did you try the timestamp checkbox mentioned earlier? I tried it but forgot to mention it. I attached the screenshots to show you how things did not change much. I'm even starting to think that there is a variable audio latency that changes depending on how the MIDI is received. If there is MIDI jitter too, things can get quite complicated. I just don't know what to think anymore All the screenshots have been captured with Ignore Plugin latency activated, to have 0 latency in S1..

If you want me to run some other tests, let me know. I really want to fix this once and for all, if that is possible of course.
The problem is that the results seem to be inconsistent, to the point where it is almost impossible to determine whether there has been an improvement or not.

I might download the Prophet manual and check that out for you as well. Might be something at the Prophet end that needs to be set.

If you want, I can privately forward my conversation with the Sequential assistance via email to you. They have tried to help, but the conversation kind of ended when they suggested to try another audio interface, but at the moment I don't have it. But to be honest, if it was the audio interface, then I would have similar problems with the Minilogue, which instead works perfectly

One thing to check is the midi monitor in Studio One. Double click on the little midi symbol down below to bring it up. As you play the Prophet, you should only be seeing note ON and note OFF info. Maybe some pressure or after touch data as well maybe. Can you conform that. And that no clock signal is being sent by Prophet.
