About: MIDI beat clock

An Entity of Type: broadcaster, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

MIDI beat clock, or simply MIDI clock, is a clock signal that is broadcast via MIDI to ensure that several MIDI-enabled devices such as a synthesizer or music sequencer stay in synchronization. Clock events are sent at a rate of 24 pulses per quarter note. Those pulses are used to maintain a synchronized tempo for synthesizers that have BPM-dependent voices and also for arpeggiator synchronization. MIDI beat clock differs from MIDI timecode in that MIDI beat clock is tempo-dependent.

dbo:abstract
  • MIDI beat clock, or simply MIDI clock, is a clock signal that is broadcast via MIDI to ensure that several MIDI-enabled devices such as a synthesizer or music sequencer stay in synchronization. Clock events are sent at a rate of 24 pulses per quarter note. Those pulses are used to maintain a synchronized tempo for synthesizers that have BPM-dependent voices and also for arpeggiator synchronization. MIDI beat clock differs from MIDI timecode in that MIDI beat clock is tempo-dependent. Location information can be specified using MIDI Song Position Pointer (SPP, see below), although many simple MIDI devices ignore this message. (en)
