Hi there :)
I´m using my Pro 2 as a Midikeyboard for my Prophet 6 Module and I´m using the Midi-Out-Port on the Pro 2 for that Workflow. But everytime when I start my whole setup (with Clock- & Transport Commands from my external Sequencer) I have to unplug the Midicable because Midi-Out on the Pro 2 does not understand Clock- & Transport-Commands.
My Question:
Is there a way to send Clock- and Transport-Commands from the Pro 2 using the Midi-Out-Port?
Or
Is there a way to send Notes from the Pro 2 using the Midi Thru / Out 2-Port?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm a bit confused where you say that the P2 doesn't support clock and transport.
It supports receiving and sending midi clock and midi Start/Stop/Continue.
What exactly is going wrong?
Cheers

My Pro 2 receives Clock- and Transport-Messages on the Midi-In-Port.
My Pro 2 sends Clock- and Transport-Messages on the Midi-Thru / Out 2-Port (to my Prophet 6 Module).
But I need the Clock- and Transport-Messages on the Midi-Out-Port or Note-Messages on the Midi-Thru / Out 2-Port because I don´t want to unplug my Midicable every 10 Minutes.

Ah Ok, I get you I think.
I haven't tried this but if you change Globals:
4 Midi Clock Mode -> Slave Thru
5 Midi Clock Cable -> MIDI Port 1&2
12 Midi Port - > out
Does it force everything through port 1?
-
Thx for your reply.
My Pro 2 does not receive a Midi-Start-Signal with these settings.
-
I'll try to set mine up the same (seq->pro2->another synth) in a while to see if I can get it going by messing around with the globals....

I think i will invest 50€ for a used Midi Merger with 2 Inputs and 1 Output. Maybe this could solve my Problem.
-
Make sure your Pro2 Clock Mode does not contain the characters "NSS" which is there as "no start stop" meaning it filters out those commands.
-
Checked. The Clock Mode is set to Slave.
I´ve got a new idea to get this problem solved. I ordered a used Miditemp MP88 Patchbay. It should be possible to route/merge the Midisignals to send Notes, Clock and Transport-Commands to the Prophet 6 Midi-In-Port.
Feedback is coming soon :)

The Miditemp MP-88 (programable Midipatchbay) solved my Problem. Octatrack and Pro 2 are plugged into the Midi-In-Ports of the MP-88 and are both routet (merged) to the Prophet 6.
