To configure MASCHINE to receive MIDI Clock from an external device:
1. Select Preferences entry from the File menu.
2. Select the MIDI page.

sync with).
→ MASCHINE can now receive MIDI Clock from an external device
You must define at least one MIDI input device in the Devices section of the MIDI page
to enable MASCHINE to sync.
When Slave (Receive Clock) is selected, the Play button in the MASCHINE Header and the
PLAY button on your controller are deactivated.
If you want to configure MASCHINE to react to other MIDI messages than MIDI Clock,
in particular if you want to control MASCHINE notes and parameters via MIDI, please
refer to section ↑11.2, Using MIDI Control and Host Automation, where this is described
in detail.
2.7.3 Send MIDI 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 groovebox, or even another software sequencer.
If you use MASCHINE as a plug-in, it cannot send any MIDI Clock signal. See section
↑2.5, Stand-Alone and Plug-in Mode for more information on using MASCHINE as a
plug-in.
To configure MASCHINE to receive MIDI Clock from an external device:
1. Select Preferences entry from the File menu.
