Theres mention of MMC in the manual, but then i find the following comment:

"External midi equipment that can be used as the master is limited to those that can output MTC"

> Does the SQ16 send MTC ? Seems like an odd thing for a step sequencer to do.

No, i ment that the SQ16 synced to the p3 fine, not that it controlled the fostex fine (which i havent tried, but going by what you
say....)


Grrr.... So an i stuffed, so far as that goes?  I understand why the p3 dosnt output mtc, but why the fostex dosnt have a simple
sync as well, like every other device...

Any suggestions?  Some way to generate a pseudo MTC?  One that prehaps resets to the beginning of bar one every time a midi START
signal is recieved, and generates a code from there?
