Fast answer

Set CLOCK to MIDI for DIN timing or USB for computer timing. For a self-contained check, select INT/EXT with no external clock patch and use PLAY/STOP.

Try these checks

  1. Inspect the CLOCK switch and the connected source: MIDI, USB or the INT/EXT path.
  2. Select the matching clock source. To isolate external timing problems, use INT/EXT with no ADV/CLOCK input and press PLAY/STOP.
  3. For MIDI or USB sync, send clock and check SCALE if the sequence runs at an unexpected subdivision.

Diagnose it

Does the sequence run but at the wrong subdivision?

Yes: Check SCALE against the desired straight or triplet rhythm.

No: Check CLOCK and whether timing reaches the chosen input.

What should happen

The sequencer uses the intended clock path and subdivision.

Why this happens

Clock selection and the SCALE divider are separate controls.

If it still doesn’t work

Check the connections and settings described above. If your device behaves differently, email us with its model, firmware version and the steps you tried.
