It doesn&#8217;t do this unfortunatly. The clock output on the 1\/8&#8243; output jack (ie. to provide clock to modular devices) will send clock pulses as long as a midi clock is present on the midi input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also of note &#8211; though likely obvious &#8211; the midi through does pass sync on from the midi input. In my case I was using Korg SQ-1 midi output for clock, thru to the Octatrack and the clock out to modular. I had hoped pressing stop on the SQ-1 would stop the modular clock output (though even if it did I would still need to worry about sending a reset to any connected sequencers).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another item of note &#8211; the SQ1 is not a great master clock due to the very hard to set master tempo (ie. the &#8220;speed&#8221; control) on the sq1. The knob is extremely sensitive making it quite hard to dial in an exact tempo. Perhaps a bigger replacement knob would make it easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also of note &#8211; the MSY2 has a power input but, at least with midi coming from the Octatrack, enough power is sent over midi to not require the power supply. I&#8217;ve not tested this when using the din-sync outputs. These may increase the power requirements. At least when only using the clock output, all works with no external power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To set the MSY2 to output one pulse per 16th note, set the dip switches on the underside of the unit to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &#8211; up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 &#8211; down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 -up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 &#8211; down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5 &#8211; up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6 &#8211; up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note per the manual (I believe) only switch 1-4 affect the clock division. 5 and 6 may be set differently for your particular needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently tried to use a MSY2 to stop and start my modular sequencers when a midi start\/stop was received.
