6.5 PAGE 5: ACCEPT EXTERNAL CLOCK DATA (CLOCK IN) CLOCK ON SETUPMIDI IN PAGE PERFORM The display shows CLOCK IN. To have the SR-16 recognize clock (timing) messages present at its MIDI input, use the INC/DEC buttons to select ON (if no clock messages are present, the SR-16 will follow its internal clock tempo). Select OFF to have the SR-16 ignore clock messages and follow its internal clock tempo regardless of what timing data appears at the MIDI in. When using the SR-16 as an expander module, set CLOCK IN to OFF so that timing signals don't start playing a Pattern. Background The SR-16 can have its tempo set by another device (this overrides the internal clock tempo) if: • The external device (sequencer, drum machine, etc.) generates MIDI timing signals. • These signals go from the external device's MIDI out to the SR-16's MIDI in. • CLOCK IN is O N . 6.6 PAGE 6: SEND CLOCK DATA TO OTHER DEVICES (CLOCKOUT) CLOCKOUT ON SETUPMIDI PAGE PERFORM The display shows CLOCKOUT. To have the SR-16 generate timing data at its MIDI out, use the INC/DEC buttons to select ON. Select OFF to inhibit MIDI timing signals from appearing at the MIDI out jack. Background The SR-16 can generate timing signals to which other devices can synchronize if: 45

present at its MIDI input, use the INC/DEC buttons to select
ON
(if no clock messages are
present, the SR-16 will follow its internal clock tempo). Select

Background
The SR-16 can have its tempo set by another device (this overrides the internal clock tempo) if:
• The external device (sequencer, drum machine, etc.) generates MIDI timing signals.
• These signals go from the external device's MIDI out to the SR-16's MIDI in.
