Holy sh**

lot of typos... I should get to bed earlier ;-). Once again:


Hi

I am not sure, whether this is already on Murrays task list, but I'd
like to mention it here:

If the arpeggio/sequencer is set to MIDI Clock, the start/stop function
still is only at the "start/stop" button of the JX-3P. The clock
division from MIDI-clock to 16th notes starts with the first MIDI clock
tick received and has nothing to do with the timing of other MIDI clock
slave-gear like drum machines or other sequencers.

I think the internal clock which is sent to the
sequencer/arpeggiator/pattern should be started by the MIDI start
command and stopped by the MIDI stop command also.
And the division /6 (=16th notes) /24 (=quarternotes) /96 (=each bar)
MUST be reset by the MIDI start command.

Additionally I could imagine a Mungo-Sync-like(*) start/stop function (I
already wrote this to Murray in the early planning phase):

With clock select set to MIDI-clock the start/stop button might work
like this:
* MIDI Start -> resets and starts the sequencer/arpeggiator/pattern;
also an internal counter is reset and counts 16 times on 16th notes up
and resets then in a 4/4-bar loop.
* pressing Stop(Start)-Button -> stops the clock which is sent
internally to the sequencer/arpeggiator/pattern at the next reset of the
internal counter (vulgo at the next 4/4 bar).
* pressing Start(Stop)-Button again -> starts the internal clock at the
next reset of the internal counter (vulgo at the next 4/4 bar).
* MIDI Stop -> stops the sequencer/arpeggiator/pattern.

Of course this is limited to 4/4-bar music, but I think 95% of the
customers will like it extremely.

Whether the start/stop button acts in midi sync mode as normal
start/stop or as Mungo-Sync-button, should be selectable with a general
function setting.
