Hi there,

I'm looking for something "Casio-CTK-style" - a synchro-start, if you don't mind. I can definitely send a MIDI "Start/Play" from the keyboard controller, but that's not what is actually wanted.

So: is it possible to trigger pattern/song playback upon receiving the first note (first MIDI event maybe) from an external MIDI controller/keyboard? 

I know a similar trick is available for recording (count-in to zero and CS waits for the first incoming event to start recording...).
