Synchronization of the Trigger Riot to a computer DAW

The Trigger Riot can sync to a DAW application like Pro Tools or Ableton Live 

using a standard audio interface and no specialized software.  

Process:

Tiptop have created example files to help demonstrate this process.  Download 

them here: http://www.tiptopaudio.com/manuals/crcode/pulses.zip

The files have two tracks: one channel is the 24 PPQN clock and the other a 

single reset pulse at the start of the clip.  The files are in 10 BPM increments from 

60-150 BPM.  You may either edit or timestretch them to the desired tempo, but 

be aware the time stretch algorithm may distort the pulses to an unusable state.

1) Place pulse files in the timeline at the start of the session and duplicate to the 

desired length.

2) Output the Clock and Reset audio tracks to separate outputs on the audio 

interface.  Increase the level until the signals reach about -3dBFS (3 decibels below 

full scale digital) to ensure a high enough level to trigger the Riot.

3) Connect the Clock and Reset from the audio interface outputs to the Clock In 

and Reset In jacks on the Riot.

4) Press and Hold the 

Start/Stop

 button on the Riot until the Clock Source dis-

plays.  Turn the Tempo knob until it shows External Clock ('EXt').

5) Hold the 

Start/Stop

 button again until the Clock type displays 

(16th/DIN/DAW/etc) and turn the Tempo knob until (‘DAW’) displays.

6) Press the 

BPM/Cycle 

button until Cycle Start ('CYCS') displays.  Turn the Tempo 

encoder until the desired first beat is set.  For most 4/4 rhythms this will be 4.

7) Make sure the 

Start 

button is pressed and the display shows ('Strt') to indicate 

the Riot is ready for an external clock.

8) Press play in the DAW and the Riot will follow the Clock and Resets in the 

Timeline.
