GLOBAL SETTINGS
74
a studio environment where the SPS-1 MKII/SPS-1UW MKII is synchronized to other MIDI
devices.
TEMPO IN
The Machinedrum can either follow its internal clock or follow the tempo of an external
s
ource.
1. Select the SYNC row in the GLOBAL EDIT menu. Then select TEMPO IN and press
[ENTER/YES].
When TEMPO IN is set to EXTERNAL the Machinedrum is synced to incoming tempo via
MIDI. When locked to external clock signal, the BPM will display “EXT”. If the Machinedrum
does not receive a clock signal for a couple of seconds, it will revert back to following its
own internal clock.
Note that the internal clock of the SPS-1 MKII/SPS-1UW MKII is extremely precise. If you
are unsure about the timing of the incoming signal, we recommend that you leave the
TEMPO IN setting set to INTERNAL.
• When the Machinedrum is synced to an external clock signal and no longer
detects it, the SPS-1 MKII/SPS-1UW MKII will fall back to its internal clock. In this
situation, the sync source in the global settings will not change. Once the
Machinedrum begins to receive an external clock signal again, it will synchronize
to that signal.
CTRL IN
Here you decide how the Machinedrum should react to incoming MIDI control data.
