Using Note Repeat /Arp with Ableton as Master
1. To set the MPD or MPK to listen to External clock press the Global
button and then page right until you see MIDI/CLK. Set this option to
External. Make sure you are on the latest firmware to be able to save this
change.
The Tap Tempo light will stop blinking which confirms it is no longer using
Internal Clock.
2. Back on the MIDI Sync tab under the MIDI Ports section turn your
attention to output 1. Turn Sync On for the 1
st
output in order to route
Abletons MIDI clock to the MPD or MPK.
If you would like to send the midi clock to an external device via the MPD
or MPK MIDI out port then choose Sync On for port 2.
