Display Beat

+1 vote
From the help desk files - user asked how to display the beat in a layout.

Best is when the target hardware supports Ableton LINK.  In that case, use the Ableton Link Beat knob.

If the hardware does not support Ableton Link, but transmits MIDI Clock and MIDI Start / Stop, we can sync with Start then divide by 24 then 4 to get the beat.  But, MDP2 does not monitor MIDI Clock, so we have to do the processing in an external StreamByter or MIDI Fire module, then input the result to MDP2 to process.

If the target does not send Start / Stop, we don't know where to start the count.

MIDI Flow:
External device -> StreamByter Module -> MIDI Designer Pro

Hello, does BeatClock only work in conjunction with Streambyter or in 2.3100 without it?

This has not changed: "... MDP2 does not monitor MIDI Clock, so we have to do the processing in an external StreamByter or MIDI Fire module, then input the result to MDP2 to process..."
