Hi Guys

I have a problem. Up until now I have been running an exclusively MIDI setup with everything being controlled form a single PC running Cakewalk express 8. Now it has served my needs admirably as I have not had any audio requirements. However I am now awaiting arrival of a Korg d1600 digital recorder, but Cakewalk express 8 does not appear to have any MIDI sync settings, so I am afraid that I will not be able to time sync the Korg from my sequencer.

Is there another sequencer out there, that meets the following requiremenst

1. Has MTC or MMC sync capability
2. Is cheap
3. Will run on an old win98 PC with only a 166 processor
4. It does not need any audio capability only Midi


I have notcied that most sequencer packages these days are geared towards being an entire solution, I only need the MIDI part which appears to be the smallest part of these packages these days.

Cheers

You can sync MIDI in CW Express 8. Select Tools-Project Options and select the MIDI Out tab. You'll find the clock right there. Just set your synth to receive MIDI clock data.

Hi Pilot

I have seen those options, and am hoping that they will work. What I have noticed is that in Versions of Cubase and the Demo version of Cakewalk pro , (also the help file of express) it has a whole sync section. In express the sync toolbar is greyed out, and there is no Sync setup section as in Cubase and Cakewalk pro.

It would be great if it did work as I am quite happy with the MIDI capabilites of express, and it seems you have to spend a lot of extra money to get a bigger package but they seem to concentrate on the audio side which I dont need.

I used to use a program called Master Track Pro, I think it is made by Gvox(not sure).
This program is midi only and definitely has the sync capabilities you are looking for.

Also, Digital Orchestrator Plus and Pro.

Take a look at PowerTrack by PG Music. Biggest bang for the buck you'll find anywhere.
