This checkbox enables or disables the output
of MIDI clock messages (see

Rounded tempos (for
Live)
Essentially this is a workaround for a limita-
tion in Ableton Live, in that Live reports
rounded tempo values to hosted plug-ins
when externally synced by MIDI clock. For
example, if Live receives clocks at a tempo of
114.6bpm, it will tell its hosted plug-ins that
the tempo is 115bpm. Why it does this re-
mains something of a mystery.
