Fastest check and exact settings
- Connect the master MIDI OUT to minilogue xd MIDI IN.
- Open Global Edit clock settings.
- Set Clock Source to Auto (MIDI).
- Start the master and test tempo changes.
Diagnose it
Is Clock Source Auto (MIDI)?
Yes: Check the master clock-transmit setting and cable direction.
No: Set Auto (MIDI) and retest.
How to test
The minilogue xd follows received timing clock when it is available.
Why this happens
Korg documents Auto (MIDI) as following received timing clock and using its internal clock otherwise.
If it still doesn’t work
Recheck the physical MIDI direction and the exact source device setting. If this behavior differs on your hardware, keep the model/revision and setup details for a correction report.
