Sync modes
Manufacturer documentedINT generates clock. USB follows USB clock, MIDI follows clock at MIDI IN, and CLK follows the analogue sync input. In INT mode, clock is sent through USB, MIDI and Sync Out.
For MIDI or USB synchronization, make sure the master sends both clock and a Start message. Clock alone is not the same thing as starting playback.
Remote patterns and drum notes
Manufacturer documentedRemote bank and pattern changes are disabled while Song Mode is enabled. Program Change values 0–15 select patterns 1–16 when using pattern changes.
MIDI Control Center sets the global MIDI channel and lets you customize the MIDI note assigned to each instrument. Check the current map before using notes from another drum machine.
