Hi!
I'm using nerdseq and ableton, normally I clock ableton from nerdseq but I now tried clocking nerdseq from ableton and it works really well.
Try this to sync nerdseq via dc coupled outputs 24 ppqn. from Ableton Live:
Set nerdseq Tempo to EXT BPM and Clock IN to MOD.CLOCK24.
I use a dc coupled audio interface from expert sleepers called es-9 but the functionality in this case is the same as your motu.
I send the clock via ableton CV tools/CV Clock Out on output 15 and the reset trigger on output 16.so for me:
out15 -> nerdseq clock in
out16 -> nerdseq reset in
note that transport should be "trigger" and not "gate". This will send a pulse to reset the nerdseq sequencer everytime you stop your ableton sequencer.
The attached images show settings for nerdseq and Ableton Live CV Tools/CV Clock Out.
Dinsync should be for sync via MIDI cable.
So if you have the nerdseq midi expander and midi outputs on you motu audio interface, you could use that. MOTU midi out -> nerdseq midi expander midi in.
See clarification from admin below.
