MIDI Clock Synchronization project settings in Logic Pro for iPad

MIDI Clock Synchronization project settings.

Clock

  • Mode pop-up menu: Determines the MIDI clock transmission mode for synchronized MIDI devices.

    • Send Song Position Pointer: MIDI clock is sent with a Song Position Pointer and a Continue command to begin sequencer playback, so that clock receivers with their own song structure can follow your project’s playhead position.

    • Restart Clock at Pattern Start: MIDI clock is sent without a Song Position Pointer command, which is ideal for step sequencers or drum machines in pattern mode. When repositioning the playhead, MIDI clock restarts at the beginning of the next pattern.

  • Pattern Length (Bar) field: Determine the length of the pattern by the number of bars.

    This parameter is only displayed when you choose Restart Clock at Pattern Start from the Mode pop-up menu.

Clock start

  • Bar Position field: Defines the musical position at which the MIDI clock output should start. Every time you start playback, a Song Position Pointer (SPP) message is also sent. Because not all devices can process SPP, the MIDI system real-time Continue message is also sent. The exception is when you start at position 1 1 1 1. In this situation, the real-time Start message is sent.
