The
easiest way is to make a sample that's exactly one measure long trim the dead
space, then loop that and compare it to the original till they sync without
drifting. (Using sound forge) You can then calculate tempo by going
to special, edit tempo... and setting the number of beats. If you have a
sampler you can also do the same thing with that. It's based on
#samples/#beats/sample rate or something like that. You can get
calculators like:
Alternately you can just take it off of midi, get an accurate metronome
and see who gets faster or slower. The computer tends to be dead on
(Logic, Cubase, Fruityloops, Hammerhead, etc), 120.0=120.0. I've left my
MC505 locked up with my computer for over an hour before with no midi and no
drift, locked dead on.
Are
you working with Red Sound or just seeing if their products
work?
>>>How did you measure this? Just curious as I need to measure some MIDI clock info (for Red Sound), but I'm not too sure about the best way to do it. Is there anyway to record MIDI Clock info linearly, so you dcould see any fluctuations over time? <<<
