Analog Clock Modes
PPQ (Pulses Per Quarter) is the smallest unit of time used for sequencing note
and automation events, both by step sequencers and in the MIDI standard. Most
MIDI sequencers allow the number of PPQ to be varied for more or less temporal
resolution depending on the needs of the performer. The default is 24 PPQ, as
this is the most commonly used setting.
This function allows communication with various analogue clock types as
listed below:
