Help: Midi tempo synch setup

[Laurence]

Thanks for the reply -

So I just adjusted the chain, now it runs:

Keyboard: midi out > into digital multitrack desk

Multitrack desk: midi out/thru > into Virus

The desk I'm using has one socket on the back labelled midi out/thru, and there's a 'soft switch' in the internal software to toggle between the two. I still have the desk set to MIDImaster.

If I set the soft switch to 'thru', then I get key/note information coming into the virus (but no tempo from the desk)
If I set it to 'out', then I get midi clock information coming into the virus (but no keyboard notes)


This is better than the chain I described in my first post
because I don't have to switch cables any more, just the soft switch
(so thanks very much, Narcissus - I'll put Keys at the top of the chain form now on).

but I'd still like the virus to receive note information and midi clock information simultaneously, without having to toggle the midi out/thru soft switch in the desk every time I want to synch up beats and notes -

surely possible, no?
