ABOUT CLOCKWORKS
ClockWorks is an application that gives you access to the 
programmable features in your MOTU MIDI Express XT 
or micro express interface. For example, you can make 
changes to the synchronization settings, filter some data 
on a particular input or output, or route MIDI data from 
any MIDI device to any other MIDI device connected to 
your MOTU interface.
☛
ClockWorks cannot be used with a micro lite or 
Express 128 interface, as these devices do not support 
MIDI processing or synchronization features.
When do you need to use ClockWorks software?
The only time you need to use ClockWorks is when you 
would like to make changes to the settings in your MOTU 
interface. If all you want to do is use it with a MIDI 
sequencer, you don’t need to make any changes at all. The 
factory settings allow sequencing software to individually 
access any of the input or output ports on your MOTU 
interface. Just run your sequencer. You only need to run 
ClockWorks if you wish to customize your interface 
settings.
