PT sync to midi clock?

[ricren]

Hi,

I never use the midi features of Pro Tools. Today I decided to give it a try. I have a song in an external sequencer. is there any way to syncronize PT to this external sequencet that sends midi clock only? (no MTC available).

Thanks for any help on this

Yes.. enable MIDI Beat Clock in the MIDI menu in Pro Tools.

Thanks Rail. I did it but still I can not syncronize.
In the transport window where it says: Transport->ProTools, I try access the dialog that says "Transport" and "On line" but they are gray.
Under "on-line" there's a choice of "machine" and "midi" but they are gray too. Is it because I do not have a Digidesign midi interface?

This system is PT 6.4 LE -001-MOTU microexpress interface. WXP

Sorry is this is very basic, but I looked in the manuals and I couldn't find a clue and this is the first time I use midi in PT. I've beed using Digital Performer an Logic for more than 10 years, sorting lots of problems. but this one, I can not solve. (Can not be done, may be?)

You have to check the peripherals dialog and make sure your MIDI synch options are correct, enable MIDI Beat Clock in the MIDI menu, and put the Pro Tools transport online by clicking on the ONLINE button in the transport window.

Rail,
under "peripherals" I can not find any "midi sync"options , only MTC and MMC, but no mention of midi clock.
