The DrumBrute Impact can be synced using 4 different modes.
Depending of the mode selected, the DrumBrute Impact will be either Master or Slave.
MASTER:
- INT (Internal) In this mode, DrumBrute Impact generates it's own clock and transmits it through USB, MIDI & Sync Out.
SLAVE:
In the following modes, the DrumBrute Impact will be slaved by the clock received and will transmit it. Note that it won't start until it receives a Clock + a Start message.
- USB Responds to the midi clock coming from the USB port.
- MIDI Responds to clock coming from the MIDI In port.
- CLK Responds to the analog clock coming from the Sync port.
