send & receive Midi clock, song pos, etc.

Actually only MMC and MTC work in Usine (see setup/midi in)

Usine doesn't directly support MIDI clocks and Song Position Pointers directly; that's why you have to use patches. MTC is just a way of transmitting SMPTE/EBU time code as MIDI messages, while MMC is transport commands as start and stop. Some of the MMC commands (start/continue/stop) I believe are the same as when you sync using clocks, but the time code is related only to time - not bars and beats.

Just want to setup a simple workspace that syncs for now.

I don't mind slaving Usine, but it would be nice to be master one day due to the great capabilities of the Usine Sequencer.

I use a Remote SL which generates MIDI Clock & has MMC transport capabilities.

First I would like to slave Usine & the computer (running Live 5) to the Remote SL. Later I'll try slaving Usine to Live.. I also have at my disposal an Akai ASQ-10 (MPC60 sequencer) which I might incorporate at a later date, which has many clocking options (believe it uses MMC & MTC - have to check at home).

What I did last night: Turn on MIDI clock & MMC receive in Usine, fed a MIDI signal from the Novation SL into Usine (with clock on & MMC configured) and nothing happened. Am I missing a critical step? Any thoughts on the best approach?

I'm still learning Usine & exploring the Add-ons. Thanks everyone in advance. Cheers!

A separate issue, but I'm not sure how to test the jitter of the MIDI clock output on the SL vs Live vs the MPC, but I believe I read somewhere that Live 5's MIDI output is not accurate or delayed.. so I'd rather use the hardware to generate the clock. Anyone happen to know how to test jitter?
