Pro Audio as the Master

There are several options, found in the Project Options dialog box,
which you can use when Pro Audio is the MIDI Sync master device:
Option...
Use Start, Never Continue
Transmit MIDI Song Position Pointer
(SPP)
What it's for...
If you are using an external drum machine
to repeat a drum pattern or loop, you
might always want playback on the drum
machine to start at the beginning of the
loop. When this option is chosen, Pro
Audio sends a Start message to all slave
devices when playback is started, even if
you are in the middle of a song.
(Normally, Pro Audio would send a
Continue message if playback starts from
the middle of a song.)
When this options is checked, Pro Audio
sends an SPP message before starting or
continuing playback. If you are using a
drum machine as described previously,
you might want to disable this option.
