When the check box is cleared, a Continue command is sent, as this type of

 

command allows the chasing device to start from a specific time. However, some

 

older sequencers that support MIDI Clock chase do not support the Continue

 

command and must start playback from the beginning every time.

 

 

Song Position Pointer generation
