Stec Special ROM V0.2 Users Guide
MIDI Clock Out <go back to table of contents>
Setup

Like the original JamMan, the new Stec Special ROM generates a MIDI clock output that is syncronized to the audio loops. The MIDI clock output allows drum machines and/or MIDI sequencers to play along with the JamMan loops in perfect syncronization while still allowing the operator to TAP in the tempo in real time.
MIDI Output To Drum Machine
The MIDI clock output is automatically adjusted to match the size of the loops so the drum machine or sequencer lines up perfectly with the loops no matter what tempo you TAP in.
Staff Loop
This is really great for improvised pieces where the exact tempo has not been nailed down until the actual performance.

Set up
Setting up to use MIDI clock is usually quite simple:
    1. Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI Out of the JamMan to the MIDI In on the drum machine or sequencer.
    2. Set the "Number of beats" on the JamMan to match the time signature of the music vs the size of the loops
    3. Set the drum machine/sequencer for external MIDI clock (not always necessary)
 

Note that the number of clocks that are output per loop are based on the number of beats defined for the loop.
