MIDI INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
The MIDI inputs and outputs are provided for interfacing with other MIDI products
and producing MIDI time code (MTC). These are standard MIDI ports that will be
recognized by any MIDI software. Don’t look for any MIDI controls in the Q10’s
software, these MIDI ports are controlled by whatever audio software you choose
to use.
NOTE: The Q10 does not have a built in synthesizer. These ports can be used to
trigger MIDI sounds in a separate sound module, but the ports themselves do not
Transmit/Receive sound in any way.

This allows the Q10 to send or receive clock from other word clock enabled
devices. Word clock is used to synchronize the clocks of multiple digital devices,
so they all share the same sample rate. Because word clock deals with
synchronization, a common misconception is that word clock is used to
synchronize the transports of devices, so when one plays or rewinds, the other
device/s follow. Word clock is not used to sync the transports of devices, nor is it
used to send or receive audio. It is used to synchronize the sample rates of
multiple devices, to prevent jitter and other potential digital audio flaws. If you are
not using multiple Q10s or other digital devices, Word Clock is not necessary.
NOTE: You can run up to 4 Q10 units in the same computer. To keep them
synchronized, connect the WC output of the first unit to the WC input of the
second unit and so on. In the first units control panel, you will need to set the
synchronization to INT. On all the slave units, you need to set synchronizzation to
WC (Word Clock).
