Using Note Repeat /Arp with Ableton as Master
1.To set the MPD or MPK to listen to External clock press the Global button and then page right until you see MIDI/CLK. Set this option to External. Make sure you are on the latest firmware to be able to save this change.
The Tap Tempo light will stop blinking which confirms it is no longer using Internal Clock.
2.Back on the MIDI Sync tab under the MIDI Ports section turn your attention to output 1. Turn Sync On for the 1st output in order to route Ableton’s MIDI clock to the MPD or MPK.
If you would like to send the midi clock to an external device via the MPD or MPK MIDI out port then choose Sync On for port 2.
