6. Set up the other device to transmit MIDI clocks, and Start it.
Cubase VST will automatically start and play in the same tempo as the other
device.
This type of synchronization is tempo based, that is the external device controls
Cubase VST’s tempo. This means that the Master Track and the tempo setting on
the Transport Bar have no effect on playback.
● You do not need to activate play in Cubase VST, it will automatically begin
playback when it senses the incoming MIDI Clock. However, when the other
device is stopped, you can use the Cubase VST transport controls as you nor-
mally do, when it is not synchronized to any device.
If the other device sends messages called Song Position Pointers, Cubase VST will
follow when you wind and rewind, and will always start from the same position as
the other device. If it doesn’t send Song Position Pointers, you must manually lo-
cate Cubase VST and the other device to exactly the same position (for example the
beginning of the Song!) before you Start.
