In this article, you will learn how to sync Gig Performer 3 and earlier to an external MIDI Clock.
Note: there is a new blog article that covers Gig Performer 4 and tempo synchronization. Check out this link for more information. The guidelines in this article apply to an earlier version of Gig Performer.
