1. Hook it up to the MASCHINE hardware controller’s MIDI IN or MIDI OUT socket on the
rear panel.
2. If MASCHINE is running as a stand-alone application, activate the corresponding MIDI in-
put and/or output(s) of your MASCHINE STUDIO controller in the MIDI page of the Prefer-
ences panel (see ↑2.6.3, Preferences – MIDI Page).
3. If MASCHINE is running as a plug-in in a host application, the MIDI configuration is man-
aged by the host (see section ↑2.5, Stand-Alone and Plug-in Mode). Please refer to your
host documentation to know how to configure MIDI in your host.
2.7.2 Sync to External MIDI Clock
If MASCHINE is running as a stand-alone application, it can be controlled externally via MIDI
Clock by any device that is capable of sending MIDI Clock. This could be hardware such as a
drum machine, another groovebox or sequencer, or even another software sequencer.
If you use MASCHINE as a plug-in, it is automatically synced to the host application so
you don’t have to activate external MIDI sync! See section ↑2.5, Stand-Alone and Plug-
in Mode for more information on using MASCHINE as a plug-in.
To configure MASCHINE to receive MIDI Clock from an external device:
1. Select Preferences entry from the File menu.
2. Select the MIDI page.
3. In the Sync section select Slave (Receive Clock) from the menu.
4. Select the Input button to see a list of connected devices.
5. Check the name of the device sending MIDI clock (the device you want MASCHINE to
sync with).
