Clock and MIDI routing

Manufacturer documented

Enter GLOBAL with SHIFT + LIVE. MIDI ROUTING → ROUTE chooses USB+MIDI or USB for MIDI output routing. USB here refers to the computer-side USB B connection.

CLOCK SOURCE offers AUTO, INT., USB and MIDI. A connection to SYNC IN takes precedence over that choice. USB or MIDI clock selection without incoming clock stops the sequencer.

USB controller recognition

Manufacturer documented

TO HOST is the computer-facing USB B port. TO DEVICE is the USB A port for a supported controller; the two ports have different jobs.

The manual requires connecting the controller to TO DEVICE before turning on drumlogue. If connected later, restart drumlogue so it recognizes the controller.
