Re: MIDI Clock issues

2002-03-13 by donnellbailey

Hello all! I'm using the MP-7 with OS 1.18 and I have no problems 
syncing it to none of my devices. Ensure that if you are going to 
have the XL/MP-7 as the slave that the cables are connected correctly 
and then go to the CONTROLLERS button and scroll all the way to the 
end and make sure to set the base tempo to external (EXT). This will 
immediately change the tempo to whatever tempo the master controller 
is set at and if using the XL/MP-7 as the master ensure that this is 
off and the slave device is setup correct. This should help you guys.
