1. Select the SYNC row in the GLOBAL EDIT menu. Then select CTRL IN and press
[ENTER/YES].
ON will make the Machinedrum respond to MIDI start, stop and continue messages. Use
this setting if you want to control the playback of the Machinedrum from an external
sequencer.
OFF makes the Machinedrum ignore MIDI start, stop and continue messages. With this
setting the Machinedrum can have its tempo synchronized to an external source without
having to stop the pattern currently playing if “stop” is pressed on the external sequencer.
This is practical if you want to use the Machinedrum as a sound module and still have the
LFO’s and the Rhythm Echo tempo synchronized.
