MIDI Clock & MIDI TimeCode

This is helpful if you are using the Pioneer DJM range of mixers or any other mixer that is capable of outputting MIDI clock or MTC.
Please note, MIDI Clock and MICI TimeCode only work with the Autoloops feature. Scripted tracks ar only support by software that provides a Direct API such as Engine OS, Serato DJ and Virtual DJ.
