◆ MIDI CLOCK
MIDI CLOCK is a general synchronization signal which most sequencers are equipped with.
When MIDI CLOCK is used, the tempo of the MPC2000XL will control another sequencer.

◆ MIDI TIME CODE (MTC)
In contrast to MIDI CLOCK, MIDI TIME CODE is a snchronous signal with absolute time. The
MTC does not have tempo data and therefore it is necessary to set the tempo change on the slave
device and the MPC2000XL.
