It's past midnight and I've gotten myself confused. Can someone
explain to me what the frequency of the Aux output should be when set
to ClkPulse and the MOTM-650 receives a Midi clock from an external
source set to 120 BPM? Explain the math, please
I realized I was confusing 96 PPQN for a sequencer with the 24 PPQ
for standard MIDI clock where I came up with the math in my original
posting.
I still believe there is an issue since the clock output differs
between internal clock and external clock set to the same BPM. I'm
trying to convince myself which is correct and I'm starting to think
neither is.
