Sync to External MIDI 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 groovebox or sequencer, or even another software sequencer.
If you use MASCHINE as a plug-in, it is automatically synced to the host application so you don’t
have to activate external MIDI sync! See section
3.5, Stand-Alone and Plug-in Mode
for more in-
formation on using MASCHINE as a plug-in.

1.
Select
Preferences
entry from the
File
menu.

from the menu.
4.

Input
button to see a list of connected devices.

sync with).

is selected, the Play button in the MASCHINE Header and the
