10 With the Selector tool, place the edit cursor on the beat grid prior to a prominent transient in the wave-
form that is “on the beat.”
11 Enable Tab to Transients and Shift+Tab to the transient. The duration of this selection is the
approximate amount of latency for your external MIDI device.
12 Switch the Main Time Scale to Samples. The length of the selected clip in samples is the MIDI Beat
Clock latency for that device.
13 In the MIDI Beat Clock dialog, enter the Sample Offset value as a negative number.
Measuring the offset for MIDI Beat Clock in samples
MIDI Beat Clock Sample Offset
Since MIDI is not sample accurate, you may want to make several measurements at different grid
locations and average them to come up with the best value for the MIDI Beat Clock Offset.
Once you have measured the latency for your MIDI Beat Clock-enabled devices, be sure to keep
a record of these values in case you need to re-enter the MIDI Beat Clock Sample Offset in other
sessions.
