Spent the weekend trying to get my head round coding a MIDI master clock where it turns off its internal clock in favour of an optional external clock. It's for my computerless/DAWless music tools project.
Brain broken for the time being.
Why an external clock for a master clock? The project is intended to be used to record the MIDI data, including clock to my 4x oversampling digital recorder, allowing me to lock down a composition but still allow performance dynamics by recording only the "music notation" and having the synth knobs free to play with, making unique performances. Essentially multitrack data recording.
Why? The Sir Edmund Hillary reason.
My brain hurts, but it'll be worth it if it works and, unlike Everest, it doesn't want to kill me.
