Help.
I'm using the Force with a Korg Wavestate.
Getting the Wavestate to sync to the force works fine but I can't get the Force to sync to the Wavestate. I've set the mini input to receive midi sync on the Force. The midi monitor shows the midi clock from the Wavestate is being received but the Force midi tempo will not change to sync to the Wavestate.

Yes.
BTW I'm using midi over usb.
I tried using the 5 pin mini port with the same results.

Sorry, I can't help. I've made my own MIDI clock generators where I know 100% sure everything that happens, every MIDI message sent, and the Force follows the tempo when told to do so. If you're even using the built-in TRS MIDI ports, it should work. MIDI messages are simple, a MIDI clock tick is one byte of data, it doesn't say where it's coming from, what device, manufacturer or model.
