When Auto Locate (p. 16) is on and you Start, or if you move during playback
using Measure (p. 13), the QX5 will send a MID! Song Position message from
MIDI OUT. This tells other devices (sequencers, rhythm machines etc.) where we
are in the song. (le. how many beats from the beginning.) Then the QX5 sends
a MIDI Continue message. However, the other device will require a bit of time (a
fraction of a second) to move to the specified point in the song before it can
Continue. Locate Delay is the time between the Song Position message and the
Continue message. Some devices will require a longer Locate Delay than others.
