i'm having trouble setting the pc as slave.
i can get the mac to be the slave, but by using the same settings in reverse, and trying to make the pc the slave, it just doesn't wana play ball.

any one else had this problem?

What are your preferences/MIDI settings on the PC?

Does it receive Midi Beat Clock at all?

Well, i've turned on the sync for the MIDI port we were using. No joy. It doesn't seem to receive any MIDI data. Very strange

Check in the receiving port that is present an arrow that open another menu where you can choice the type of clock.
Can't be more accurate in the description because i have my laptop under assistance and i haven't live under this machine.
Btw, i've solved in that way...after you have set to on the sync button you have also to choice the kind of midi clock.

While you're digging around in there, turn all of the midi ports on your PC from "DirectMusic" to "MME". It resolves alot of midi communication (and latency) issues on the PC. This is my new favorite solution to everything.
