Description

Sync

Mode

Click the drop-down menu to set the MIDI Sync mode preference
for MASCHINE:

Off

: No MIDI sync mode is selected.

Master (Send Clock)

: If MASCHINE is running as a stand-alone

application, it can also send a MIDI Clock signal to any device that

is capable of receiving MIDI Clock. This could be hardware such as
a drum machine, another groove box, or even another software
sequencer.

Slave (Receive Clock)

: If MASCHINE is running as a stand-alone

application, it can be controlled externally via MIDI Clock by any
device that is capable of sending MIDI Clock. This could be
hardware such as a drum machine, another groove box or
sequencer, or even another software sequencer.
Please note that the

Slave (Receive Clock)

option is not available

when

LINK

is active. For more information on Link see

Syncing MASCHINE using Ableton Link

.

Clock Offset

(appears

when

Mode

is set to

Slave

)

Click and move the

Clock Offset

slider to compensate for delay that

may occur during MIDI data transmission. Delayed MIDI Clock data
will cause external devices to respond too late, thus making your

track sound out of sync.
By adjusting the

Clock Offset

value you can set an amount of

latency to be compensated (in milliseconds). MASCHINE will then
send MIDI Clock events ahead of time as defined.
