I want to transmit midi clock data to my SR16 drum machine so that when i hit record on the transport control and get a 2 bar count in my drum machine
kicks in on time after the 2 bar count so i can record it.

I can do this in Pro Tools easy, but am really struggling for some reason in reason essentials.

Please help!

I would like to record sounds from a hardware synth but it has to be triggered from the DAW sequencer.

Do I have to turn off the MIDI clock inside the hardware synth to get more accurate timing?

I have Pro Tools 7 and the digi 002 with a Mac G4. I also have Cubase SL on a second G4 with its own MIDI (MidiSport 2x2).

I need to sync these two systems via MIDI clock (or another sync system that works). I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out what to do.

Do I need to get another software or hardware MIDI clock? Can I have Pro Tools be the clock?

Has anyone experienced this before using a MOTU MTP? I have no problems w/ midi data, just the midi clock distribution. So for the time being, I've substituted using the midi I/O from my Layla card. Ended up having to daisy chain everything that uses midi clock, which was no problem. Has anyone run into this senario yet? :?

Which one of you brilliant MIDI geeks/gurus knows the answer to this?

The setup - keyboard with internal sequencer, mac running Digital Performer, Midi Express XT, ADATs with BRC, and me with a shot of single malt standing there with too many manuals scratching my head.
