Hello there,

I just can't get the Force running in Slave to my Multiclock.
I tried all different Midi setting on the Force. I tried different midi cables, adapters and outputs on the Multiclock. I also checked via "Midi Monitor" hocked up to my Computer to check the Clock Signal coming out of the Multiclock but everything should be fine.

I have absolutely no reaction from the Force. The build in Midi Monitor is showing nothing.

So I tried to check if the Force is sending Midi clock or any Midi Data but it's also not.

So my problem is: No Midi In or Out - however I tried.
also if I try to just get a Midi Note Out of the Force to play a external synth for example, but also here - absolutely nothing is happening via Midi

Is it maybe the Midi to TRS Adapter? I am using a regular Midi A to TRS Adapter. Also I tried with 5 Pins midi cable and 3 Pins Midi cable.
Or what am I doing wrong?

thanx out there
