Clock and playback
Manufacturer documentedGLOBAL SETTINGS → MIDI CONFIG → SYNC separates clock from transport, with individual RECEIVE and SEND switches. Enable CLOCK RECEIVE and TRANSPORT RECEIVE for an external clock source that should also control playback.
If both receive switches are enabled, Rytm waits for clock after Start or Continue. Transport alone is not a substitute for a complete clock stream.
MIDI ports and pad output
Manufacturer documentedPORT CONFIG → OUT PORT FUNCTIONALITY must be MIDI for ordinary MIDI messages. DIN 24 and DIN 48 send sync pulses instead, not MIDI data.
OUTPUT TO chooses MIDI OUT, USB, both or neither. PAD DEST chooses internal, external or combined pad control; use INT + EXT when you need the pads to play Rytm and send MIDI.
