While this does not cause any damage, Apples states in their API documentation: Currently magiclock does not prevent the trackpad from triggering too many haptic events. Q: If you connect multiple devices to magiclock and set up a high BPM, my trackpad goes crazy!ДЄ: Yes, you should not do that.

Q: Can you support Ableton Link so that the magiclock can also align beats? Filter the input for clock events only as shown in the screen shot:

#Virtual midi patchbay Patch#

You can use the MIDI Patch bay app to route MIDI clock events from any device to the magiclock virtual MIDI Output Device.

In Bitwig you have to manually add a 'Generic MIDI Clock Transmitter' device and then select Magiclock from the output devices list. To use magiclock with Ableton, just activate the sync functionality for the Magiclock device from within the user preferences. Be aware, that this app is not signed, so you might need to adjust your security settings Drag the app into your Applications folder, if you like.

It provides a virtual MIDI Output port called 'Magiclock' that can be connected to and from anywhere inside Mac OS X.

To align the MIDI clock to quarter notes, the MIDI start and stop events are used.

For convenience, it also calculates the BPM and shows the results in the menu bar (can be switched off).

Receives MIDI Clock events and performs haptic feedback every beat/quarter note. Magiclock is an OS X app that uses haptic feedback (also called Taptic Engineв„ў) to give you the MIDI clock beat within your Magic Trackpad. And the ability to turn that processor/filter on and off easily, so I can disable the surface's motorfaders when I need it to be absolutely silent.ДЄnd because control surface messages doesn't go through tracks in a typical DAW (barring complex contortions - sure), a VST MIDI processor won't help.Д«ome's MIDI Translator does all this (although a maximum of 5 virtual ports is a bit cheap), but it is too buggy for the heart of my workstation it needs to I would love to beta test your products.Ever found the beepy metronome in your DAW annoying while producing music? Now you can turn off of the metronome and feel the beat on you trackpad. The most urgent application for that would be: set a virtual port as surface control in my DAW -> filter out fader messages coming from the DAW to that port -> forward the resulting MIDI to the actual surface control's hardware port. I need a MIDI processor (a the very least a MIDI filter) I can insert between ports. Thus, each application could open a different virtual port, and then the patch would merge the virtual ports to one hardware port (or split an hardware port to several virtual ones) So, I would need a matrix patch that can also create (many) virtual ports. That was no problem on Mac, but it is one of Windows' limitation that really bothers me.

That is a problem for several reasons - suffices to say I need several applications to recieve from or send to sometimes the same hardware port at the same time. However the issue would be the same if I had only one: in Windows, not two applications can open the same port simultaneously. I have many (and I mean many) hardware MIDI ports because my studio is a fat hardware synth orgy. What I need to do is this - basically 2 things :
