It might be because the device is connected to the editor. There is a 3second timeout for MIDI clock if the device is communicating with the editor as MIDI clock affects the communication.
** Just loaded your bank file and tested the omniports (sending MIDI to a Timeline) without any issues.
Just to confirm, your controller is showing the BPM value in red (with the dot blinking) when you are testing it right? If the BPM is black and not blinking then the controller is not generating any MIDI clock.
Only MIDI clock is not working with your devices? How about PC/CC messages?
Each and every preset I use, does the same thing…even if I set a preset as MIDI Tap, it clocks the tap for a second, then reverts back to a black number.
I’ve already tried toggling on MIDI persist, it didn’t help unfortunately.
The only three pedals I have connected to it are a Strymon BRIG, Strymon Cloudburst, and a Eventide H9.
I will look into the settings now and see if either H9 or BRIG are sending clock…
The only puzzling thing is, that they were ALL receiving the MIDI clock from the MC6 PRO just fine prior to the latest firmware update.
And, i haven’t changed ANY of the internal settings on any of them, other than the MC6 Pro.
What’s the MIDI connection like? Is there anything connected to the MC6 PRO MIDI Input?
I just looked through again the conditions that will turn MIDI clock off and it’s likely that it is receiving MIDI Clock from an external source. Can you try turning on the Ignore MIDI Clock setting in the controller settings and see if this resolves the issue?
The MIDI clock does in fact send now, and turns red.
The only issue now, is that there seems to be a fairly long delay before this happens.
At least a full second or two.
(it’s almost like watching the MC6 Pro think…ignore the (incoming) clock…then send to my other pedals).
My MIDI In/Out jacks have a WIDI Jack attached to it…
But, I had this device occupying those ports, before the update and it was sending very quick. (likely the culprit tho)
The only other thing connected to the MC6 Pro, is the 4th Omniport is connected to a MIDI Out panel on my board. But, nothing is ever connected to it.
@james Was any solution found for this? I’m on the latest firmware and since upgrading a few months ago am experiencing a similar issue when changing banks. On bank change a fast MIDI clock signal that bears to relationship to the MIDI clock of the bank is sent to my Timeline. I then hit the first preset button and usually nothing happens and then a second preset after a few seconds and the new MIDI clock time for that banks finally engages. I can work around this somewhat by just pressing presets a few times after bank changes, but it’s a pain and not what was happening previously.
Just to add, this happens regardless of whether I’m in editor mode or not.

Thanks James. Yes I’ve updated to the latest 3.12.13 firmware. Entering pretty much any of the banks will do it from Bank 11 onwards (these are the song banks with presets per song section). The main issue is that there’s a big delay from entering the bank before pressing / releasing any of the preset switches will update the MIDI tempo (somewhere from 3-5 secs) and generally seems to require hitting either the same one switch twice or two different ones.
