So, I did further testing with the MC8, BeatBuddy and RC-500 sync issue that I’m experiencing. Thanks in advance for any insights or words of wisdom. I’m relatively new to MIDI…so messing with Midi Clock is new territory for me. I’ve also read somewhere that the RC-500 seems to work better when it is providing the midi clock signal, so I’m wondering if I should try to daisy chain the BeatBuddy from the RC-500, and have the RC-500 generate the clock. Regardless, the guitar loop on the RC-500 just eventually loses sync with the BeatBuddy. I’ve also tried to just use the “Tap Midi Clock” setting, which I can verify is sending the clock signal to both devices as they will both speed up/slow down depending on what tempo I tap. I have setup the MC8 to start sending MIDI Clock upon entering the bank. Once I finish recording the loop, the RC-500 immediately goes into Play mode and it will stay in sync with the BeatBuddy for about 20 seconds and then the guitar loop on the RC-500 starts to get ahead of the beat ever so slightly…and then continues to get worse. I’m able to start the BeatBuddy and record a loop on the RC-500 (using the switches directly on the RC-500). Both devices are set to receive MIDI Clock, and I’ve tried both enabling/disabling the “Midi Clock” Persistence on the MC8. I have both the BeatBuddy and RC-500 plugged into individual Omniports on the MC8. I am hoping to be able to play BeatBuddy beats, and then simply record guitar loops on the RC-500 and have them stay in sync with the BeatBuddy. Hoping someone might have had some success getting both BeatBuddy and the Boss RC-500 to stay in sync when receiving MIDI Clock from the MC8.
