Hey, Greg! I've tried to find a sequencer which sends such messages. No luck with > RoseGarden and Ableton Live! > > I think that's a part of "MIDI time code", not "clock", and that it was used back when people wanted to link hardware sequencer workstations. I think I have a old hardware sequencer here that uses them, but I'd have to look. I think it's safe to assume that stuff doesn't need to have any priority. At all. I haven't hear of anyone ever using it either, I just know it from out of the way parts of user manuals and so on. Don't lose any sleep over that.

If so I think we are throwing potentially useful data away. If so I think I'd like to stick to my earlier remarks. However; if nobody but me much cares about that perspective I'll have to let them go. It's not my call. Clearly what you have now is better than what we had before! Yours, Kas.
