This can be used to drive a sequencer, or drum machine, etc. either synchronized to a time base, or a MIDI clock (see below for an explanation of how this works). The MIDI OUT is also used to drive a MIDI instrument as a metronome (see "Metronome" on page 34). A MIDI instrument can be connected to the A and B inputs, or mixed with the recorded tracks from the analog outputs if it is fed into the STEREO MIX inputs. MIDI Clock, etc. The MIDI song control messages put out by the M-08 from the MIDI OUT port include tempo (MIDI Clock), bar and beat information (Song Position Pointer), and Start/Stop/Continue messages. This way of working is particularly suitable for synchronizing with bar/beat-based MIDI devices such as drum machines and rhythm units. You must set a tempo and time signature on the M-08 ("Tempo setting" on page 33) to use this feature. 1 2 Press MENU and scroll down to MIDI and press the y key.
