(6.2.1) MIDI Clock Receive
The Sheeran Looper X can be synced to the tempo of an external MIDI device (e.g., a drum machine) while
recording and playing your loops in Fixed, Sync and Serial-Sync modes.
The Sheeran Looper X can receive MIDI clock from a device connected to the traditional 5-pin MIDI Input,
or from a class compliant device connected to the USB Type-A Port on the rear panel. You can enable or
disable the MIDI Clock Sync feature, as well as set the MIDI Clock Source, in the (5.10) Menu > Global
Settings menu.
Tips:
• Tempo cannot be changed during recording, so make sure the Sheeran Looper X is accurately
receiving the MIDI clock before beginning.
• Receiving MIDI Clock Sync works best when using properly cut loops. Loops that are miscut or have
odd or uncommon bar lengths may not work properly or cause unexpected results.
When MIDI Clock Receive is enabled:
• Looper tracks can be armed for recording or overdubbing by pressing their respective Track Select
pedals. The LEDs for these pedals will flash when the track has been armed and is ready for recording
or overdubbing.
o If the external MIDI device’s clock is not running yet, tracks will begin recording or overdubbing
when a MIDI Start command is received.
o If the external MIDI device’s clock is already running, and the looper track mode is set to Multi,
tracks will wait to begin recording or overdubbing until the next downbeat.
o If the external MIDI device's clock is already running, and the looper track mode is set to Sync
or Band, tracks will wait for the primary track to return to the beginning to begin recording or
overdubbing.
• Sheeran Looper X will stop recording or overdubbing once a MIDI Stop command is received from the
external MIDI device.
• If the external MIDI device's clock is running, looper track playback can be started and stopped using
the Stop pedal.
o In Multi mode, tracks will stop immediately after pressing the Stop pedal.
o In Sync or Band modes, tracks will stop when the end of the primary track is reached.
• If the external MIDI device's clock is not running, looper track playback cannot be started and stopped
using the Stop pedal.
• The loop’s tempo cannot be manually changed.
• The Sync Audio to Tempo feature in (5.10) Menu > Global Settings cannot be disabled.
• The Start/Stop All and After Record features in (5.10) Menu > Global Settings will not be applied.
