Default KEYSTEP as Master

Did someone managed to get the Arturia KEYSTEP 37 to work as Master and Reaper as a Slave?

I enable "synchronisation to timecode". Used input : MTC Arturia Keystep 37

But Play transport is locked with "Waiting for TC"

does the keystep send MTC?

If not you can try to use MIDI clock (SPP) but results aren't very good, in my experience

I had issues with this with my Beatstep Pro. I now have a Keystep 37 too, but I havent tried again.

It was a while ago I tried all this, but from what I could gather, Reaper doesnt like being a slave.

Makes little sense to me and hopefully someone else can chime in with a solution as its one thing that makes me consider a different DAW at times (for the record, Bitwig responded immediately to being slave, no faffing about or errors, just one click and it was set up).

unfortunately, i'd have to agree with this in regards to MIDI clock.
(LTC & MTC work ok for me though.)

I have to admit, I dont really understand all the MTC/SPP stuff. I should give it all another go as Arturia's software has probably had an update or two by now.

Hi,
Except ltc and MTC only are time of day...no tempo information. Midi clock runs at the tempo of the master. Spp is song position pointer...where in the song are we now?

...reaper will slave to midi clock IF you don't have tempo changes. You put reaper at the expected tempo first. Then enable ext sync to spp/midi clock.
