Got it working exactly as I need by recording the CLK OUT of my sequencer and then sending it back to CLK IN when required.

It is essentially a kind of conversion. Live receives midi clock data but cannot record actual 'midi clock data'. But it does record tempo into the arrangement view. In session view it would make no sense to record long sessions with midi clock. Session is meant to have tempo controlled at any time...

No - according to someone who worked on Live the midiclock data is not recorded, and that's in fact the issue.

Thanks for the help. I understand using Live as the master clock would make things easier, but it's not really how I work. I tend to record for several hours at a time and then go back and see what parts I like. I tend to change the tempo as I'm going using the knob on the sequencer, and if the part...

I have been told... "Basically you cannot record MIDI clock to a MIDI track in Live. The only events you can record are Notes, Aftertouch, Pitch Bend, and Control Changes. MIDI clock are bytes that will stripped off the data stream at the input." It seems slightly strange to me that Live c...

In summary: I can only send midi clock out at the internal ableton speed (120 or tap). I can't send midi clock out at the same tempo as the original recording.

I'm having trouble getting Ableton Live to record midi clock data from my Doepfer dark time sequencer. I want to to record 4 tracks of audio from 2 synths and the midi clock data from the sequencer. Then, perhaps 2 days later, use the midi clock data I recorded to drive the sequencer or an arpegiatt...
