Ideally I'd sync it with Ableton's clock. I'm using Ableton only for tempo and multitrack recording. Maybe this is achievable without the RPi being a MIDI device? Sending messages over the network, like GuitarEffects which uses WebSockets. My RPi 2 doesn't support gadget mode (I should probably start looking for a RPi 4).
I'm currently using an Elektron Digitakt to sequence my analog gear - it's great - but unfortunately the DT is limited to 8 MIDI tracks with only 1 LFO per MIDI track to automate MIDI CC data. I'd love a Cirklon Sequentix but the waitlist is just too long (3 years atm, arghh).
I wonder if I can hook up something like a Midiface 16x16 (https://miditech.de/en/portfolio/midiface-16x16/) to the RPi. The Midiface is Class Compliant so maybe the RPi can use it natively..(?) I'm a bit worried about performance though.
Thanks for your suggestions, I'm going to look into them!
