MIDI Trigger: Clock

The Clock trigger is a MIDI-based input. It detects when a MIDI Clock message is received from the specified MIDI device.

The Clock message is used to keep MIDI playback in sync between two devices.

A slave device might receive (from a master device) a Select message to cue a specific song to play (out of several songs), a Position message to cue that song to start on a particular beat, a MIDI Continue in order to start playback from that beat, periodic MIDI Clocks in order to keep the playback in sync with the master, and eventually a MIDI Stop to halt playback.
