Track ID
Section titled “Track ID”To select tracks based on an external MIDI note event, type in the track ID property in the text field with either a note number or note name (eg. C#1). When Designer receives a MIDI note, it will scan all tracks in the current active set-list. If it finds a match, it will trigger the track. For more information on MIDI notes please see the sub-chapter Midi notes.

MIDI Beat Clock
Section titled “MIDI Beat Clock”
MIDI Beat Clock
Clock Divider
Section titled “Clock Divider”This property is used when synchronising to MIDI Beat Clock (as opposed to using timecode). It sometimes happens that the clock received is a multiple of the track bpm. For example, the track may originally be 60 bpm, but the input clock is received at 120 bpm. Setting the clock divider property allows you to scale the input clock; in this example, setting the divider to 2 will achieve the desired result.
Count In
Section titled “Count In”The count in property is also used only when synchronising to MIDI Beat Clock. When the clock starts for the first time, d3 will wait for the specified number of beats before triggering track play.
Scroll down to the section MIDI Beat Clock Track settings in the MIDI Beat Clock topic for more information.
