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 ?
