is there an easier way using PT 7.4
How do I sync Pro Tools to my Yamaha mo6? I have to press play and record at the same time record each track and the timing is always off. So then I have to manually adjust each track. This takes up quite a bit of time. Is there an easier way?

Yo
You need to set up a MIDI beat/clock/sync I'm not sitting in front of my rig so I can only give you a general idea..... There's an option somewhere (Either in the options up top, or the tempo options at left) that allows you to send MIDI sync out one of your midi ports. Took me like 30 seconds to set mine up once I found the option.... It's very simple, and solid. It sends start/stop messages out the midi port you select, and the tempo will sync to what you have set in PT Wish I could just open her up and tell you right where, but I'm not in the studio. (Maybe look up MIDI SYNC in the manual or help) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MMC READ ENABLED IN THE Mo6 - IT HAS TO BE SET TO RECEIVE THE MIDI MESSAGES!!!!! Good Luck

Re: is there an easier way using PT 7.4
If I remember correctly, this is where I did it.
Enabling MIDI Machine Control in Pro Tools To enable MIDI Machine Control: 1 Choose Setup > Peripherals, then click the Synchronization tab. 2 Select your synchronization peripheral from the Synchronization/Device pop-up menu. If you are using a MIDI interface, select “Generic MTC Reader.” If using SYNC I/O, set the Port to DigiSerial. 3 Select the appropriate port for synchronization information. This is the port to which your synchronization peripheral is attached. 4 Click the Machine Control tab in the Peripherals dialog. 5 In the MIDI Machine Control section, enable MMC. 6 Select your external device from the Send To pop-up menu. The port on which this information will be transmitted is set in the “ID” field. MMC commands contain an ID number to identify which machine should respond to the MMC command. There are 128 MMC ID numbers, from 0–127. The default of ID #127 is a special setting that broadcasts to all 128 MMC IDs. With this setting, any device on the specified port will respond to MMC commands. 7 Set a pre-roll time for your MMC device. Preroll is needed to provide Pro Tools with sufficient time to lock to the incoming time code. This value will vary depending on the external device. If the pre-roll time is insufficient, Pro Tools may not be ready to lock until after the current time code position has passed. 8 Click OK to close the Peripherals dialog. Pro Tools will now be able to control the selected device’s transport.

Cbale from MIDI OUT port off your interface to MIDI IN port on Mo6
Make sure you set up MMC in PT (Set to 127, across all 128 channels) for the PORT the Mo6 is on. Make sure Mo6 is set to RECEIVE MMC I know this works. It's how I do it. Controls my MPC and ALL midi gear. If it isn't working, try troubleshooting to make sure your MIDI is functioning properly on both your Interface and the Mo6
