Analogue-sequencer

hi,

First -- Midi Clock issue:

Not a P3 issue, but wondering if I can find a workaround...

I use Logic 7 -- since being acquired by Apple, the Midi specs for  
sequencing external Midi gear are rapidly going downhill. The latest  
problem -- Logic will only send a Midi Clock 'start' message at the  
beginning of a song. If you start Logic from  any other point in the  
song, it will only send a Midi Clock 'continue' message, affecting  
any hardware unit expecting a 'start' message in order to reset to  
the beginning.

Is there any way that the P3 can read a 'continue' message as a  
'start' message? (The Kenton Pro-2000, for example, allows you to  
specify "Midi Clock 'Continue' = 'Start'"). OR, is there any other  
Midi message that can be sent to the P3 to make it reset to the  
beginning?

My current workaround is manually hitting 'Sync' on the P3 before i  
start the sequence. (Thank god for that!)

Second -- Sync Out question:

Does it always send out Midi Clock and DIN Sync? I tried Sync Out to  
the DIN Sync in on my TR-808 and it doesn't work. Also tried the Sync  
o\Out to the Midi-in on my x0xb0x, and it syncs, but there is some  
weird stuff going on too (when I stop the P3, the x0x seems to  
trigger randomly).

Any help appreciated,

thx, Jason
