Using MIDI Sync with Drum Machines

The most ßexible way to use a MIDI drum machine is to record the notes
it generates into Pro Audio, then use that machine as a MIDI playback
device. This lets you edit, cut, paste, and copy your drum parts like any
other clip. You can use MIDI Sync to record the notes from the drum
machine into Pro Audio as follows:
1. Use the drum machine's pattern-composing facilities to compose
your drum part.
2. Configure the drum machine to be a slave device that receives
MIDI Sync messages.
What it's for...
Some older MIDI devices take a small
amount of time to respond to SPP
messages. This option causes Pro Audio
to delay briefly after sending an SPP
message, to give the slave device time to
respond. The delay is in 1/18ths of a
second. Enter 1 for a 1/18th second
delay, 2 for 2/18ths of a second, or 18
for a full second delay.
