Beatclock

[epd242]

Someone gave me a beatstep that they arnt using and i'm trying to figure out how to slave it to an external midi beatclock. I'll either use a sample pad or Ipad as the beatclock. i see that a lot of people have trouble getting the beatstep to sync with ableton...doe that mean it also doesnt sync well with physical sample pads like the Alesis Sample Pad Pro or other hardware that can generate a clock? i'm running a bunch of other stuff off the same clock, so they kind of need to be in sync with one another...

you can't sync it from an external hardware clock, only from a software one via the usb-midi bridge.

therefore it's not possible what you want to do, in a hardware only chain the beatstep has to be the master clock.
