Ok, i tried this out now.
I've got my Yamaha PSR-E323 keyboard connected with a midi cable.
It's switched on, QWS is open.
I create a new track in QWS and call it Drums or whatever you'd like;
Select channel 10, and select standard kit.
Then, on my keyboard, i make sure i set the external clock to "on".
And make sure in QWS that midi clock is on too.
Then i select a drum pattern from the many presets on my keyboard.
In Qws i set the tempo, beat devitions, etc. by pressing control t.
Then you can choose whether you want syncro start or not.
But otherwise you just press control R.
Remember to press f4 for the metronum beforehand.
Wait for the four intro ticks of the metronom, and then press the "start"
button on your keyboard, on the first beat or tick, to start playing the
drum pattern.
It will then record your keyboard's drum preset into QWS.
This is really cool!
Yesterday i couldn't get it right because my external clock setting on my
keyboard was off.
So now you can just record the drum pattern, and you can stop and start it
where you like, and use the add-and-fill-ins in the drum patterns.
I was wondering whether there was an easier way to just creating whole new
drum track in QWS for a song.
Now i know!
Hope this helps.
At least this part of midi clock is easy to use. :) Smile.
Enjoy your holidays,
Lord bless,
Dewald.

MIDI clock is one of the messages in MIDI known as System Real Time
messages, IIRC. What it does is simple -- it tells all devices reading it
the tempo and where the first beat of a measure is. It's used to
synchronize
multiple devices, like drum machines, ADAT's, and hardware sequencers.
It's
a less strict time code than SMPTE, but more strict and better implemented
than MIDI Song Position Pointer. It was one of the first big additions to
the MIDI specification, and may even predate the MIDI Sample Dump
Standard.
It's one of those things that you won't really think about it unless you
need it, and if you need it you really need it to get anything done. (Some
sequencers have ways around using it, but it's sequencer dependent and
often
not pretty)

Hi list,
Recently someone mentioned the midi clock, which I've never used. I don't
even know what it's for. The only thing I do know is that Bassmidi doesn't
like it so I had to turn it off. So, can anyone explain what it is and how
it would be useful?
Thanks, and happy holidays!
