In handshake based pulse synchronizer, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, synchronization of a pulse generated into source clock domain is guaranteed into destination clock domain by providing an acknowledgement. ![]() Diagram in Figure 3 and Figure 4 shows toggle synchronizer implementation and Timing diagram.įigure 4 Timing for toggle synchronizer Pulse synchronizer While synchronizing from fast clock domain to slow clock domain using 2 FF synchronizer, the pulse can be skipped which can cause the loss of pulse detection & hence subsequent circuit which depends upon it, may not function properly. A pulse cannot be synchronized directly using 2 FF synchronizer. Toggle synchronizer is used to synchronize a pulse generating in source clock domain to destination clock domain. ![]() That’s a hell of a lot more than I can say about Overbridge.Figure 2 Timing for conventional 2FF synchronizer Toggle synchronizer It is more expensive and space-consuming, but it actually works well and in a scalable manner that is compatible with non-Elektron products. And, in my experience, the OB-enabled devices still can’t share their sample-accurate MIDI clocks over their DIN outputs and thereby sync the rest of your setup to the DAW.įor me, it has to be a proper many-channeled audio interface for multitracking (plus instruments that actually have individual outputs: hence I will never gel with the Digitakt, and I slightly resent the design of the Digitone I own) plus USAMO/Multiclock/Expert Sleepers ES series. This is also how Overbridge achieves its sync, but at a price of 60+ milliseconds of latency added to your DAW project. Same principle: delivering sample-accurate MIDI clock from a DAW to hardware by encoding the MIDI data as audio. I use a cheaper alternative to the Multiclock - the Expert Sleepers USAMO. Have only used it when traveling with only a Rytm or whatever. I have been using Overbridge-enabled Elektron instruments for 6 years and I have never been satisfied with OB. OB, you’ve got LOTS work to do… I can see why you’re afraid to show your face… Now I’m back to recording A4 tracks individually but it sure is great having no drifting on my long delays, Arps that stay in time and microtiming that doesn’t sound messy… So goodbye OB, goodbye multi-track recording, goodbye audio over USB… It’s been challenging, slightly amusing, very frustrating and mildly fun… ERM has shown me just how unstable you are and its time we parted ways… There is no way to manage midi offset when using OB (please enlighten me if you know of a way) and as a result, my A4 triggers a whole step out of time when synced to OB through Ableton… ironically, Ableton is clocking my ERM via audio and its tight, super tight… but the internal clock in Ableton has OB drifting all over the place… and I mean stupid drifts that are unusable! So I got an ERM Multiclock because I was sick to death of Midi jitter and needed some stability in my set up… Now I have a super tight set up EXCEPT for Overbridge… I’ve had to abandon OB for my A4 and can’t see myself using it again unless its stability can be drastically improved and the latency can be rectified.
