That's a really great idea.

Apart from MIDI clock as others mentioned, also consider the option of using "irregular" pulses.
The simplest is to use Note-On / Note-Off and turn that into a Gate, which then clocks the sequencer.
Then you can lay out the steps and timings freely in the PC.

Some kind of ‘MIDI to clock pulse generator’..

My question is, using a PC sequencer (like Cakewalk SONAR X3 Pro, or any PC sequencer),
What MIDI data should I use and read to get timing pulses ?
There are many ‘clock related’ MIDI data available
but I cannot find which one(s) to use..
I’d like to have the choice of timings like whole, half, quarter, 8th, 16th, etc..
Thanks for your help..



Cheers,

 René
