Midiclock 2 Audio Converter, Audio 2 Midiclock Converter
4 Recording a Midiclock on a Audio-Track on your Multitrack-Recording-Device
in order to get the possibility to overdub a sequencer track on Recording Devices without Midi-Clock builtin



Introduction

i use a zoom livetrack-l12, a multitrack-audio-recorder: compact design, severell submixes, parametric eqs, compressor, efx and a master-track-recording, a good price…
AND it doesnt have midi… it does not do midiclock.
so when i have to make a track new, or i want to overdub a track, a track that is Midiclock-Driven a sequencer track for example…

So with this device, i lose one Audio-Track, because i use this one Audio-Track, as a Click-Track, it records Audio-Rectangle-Pulses, which are a converted Midiclock-Pulses

when i then playback the Click-Track-Recording, it converts this Audio Pulses back to Midiclock-Messages.
Thats all, not much code, stripped down, running thight.

Features

- convert Midi-Clock-Data to Audio-Pulses
-
convert Audio-Pulses to Midi-Clock-Data

Hardware Requirements

External Requirement:(for example)

Shematic


Building FABRICATED PCB

for DIY on Protoboard - see below “Building DIY”
The Design is optimized for Pick and Place most SMD Parts are on the Back-PCB
i ordered 5 PCBs from JLCPCP with almost all SMD Parts (except Thruholes and the PTC) presoldered
now waiting for Presoldered PCBs
