Chapter 4: Using the Pro 3 with External Devices
Syncing the Sequencer with an External MIDI Device
It’s possible to sync the Pro 3’s Sequencer to an external MIDI device such
as a Tempest drum machine or digital audio workstation using MIDI clock.
To sync a sequence to an external MIDI clock:
1. Connect the external MIDI device’s MIDI Out to the MIDI In of the
Pro 3.
2. Set the external MIDI device to MIDI Clock Master.
3. On the Pro 3, press the global button and select midi clock mode (menu
item 4). Then set midi clock mode to slave.
4. Also in the global menu, set midi clock cable in to either midi or usb
depending on your setup.
5. Press the arpeggiator button twice to display the Sequencer parameters
in the display (the second button press turns off the Arpeggiator).
6. Press Soft Button 2 to select the seq params menu.
7. Press the play button on the Sequencer.
8. Start MIDI playback on the external device. The Pro 3 Sequencer
will start and stop playback in response to MIDI Start/Stop/Continue
messages.
If you have a Sequencer track assigned to a MIDI channel output and it is only
sending MIDI note-off messages, check the value of the Velocity parameter for each step.
A velocity greater than zero must be set for a MIDI note-on message to be sent. If the
velocity for a given step is set to zero, only a MIDI note-off message will be sent for that
step.
