Hmmmm.. The 1010LT has MIDI in and out jacks. Currently not used since
the Korg is connected using USB. In Qjackctl's MIDI pane I see Ardour's
various MIDI connections, MMC, MTC, although in Qjackctl's MIDI pane,
Ardour is by itself. There's nothing else to connect to.

In Qjackctl's ALSA pane there is a 1010LT MIDI out as well as as Korg
MIDI in. Connecting these two does not bring over any sync.

What is this 'jack midi' you have mentioned ?

Is it possible at all to have the MIDI clock signal carried over to the
Korg while only using the USB connector to the Korg ?

Cheers.
