MIDI Clock

MIDI Clock is a digital timing signal used to synchronize the tempo and timing between musical devices, such as synthesizers, drum machines, and computers. It ensures these devices play in time with one another by sending periodic pulses, or "beats," that coordinate their internal clocks. This is essential for maintaining rhythm across multiple instruments or software, especially during live performances or recording. MIDI Clock does not carry musical note information itself but rather acts as a metronome, helping devices stay aligned at the same tempo and beat divisions.
