Default How to sync to the ERM MIDI Clock ?

I'm using the ERM MIDI Clock to sync a load of hardware:
https://www.e-rm.de/midiclock/

All the hardware is receiving the clock fine. The problem is getting Reaper to slave to its clock. I have DIN sync going into a Focusrite 18i20.

Of course only after purchase did I read on their site that "Cubase, Reaper and Logic do currently not support external MIDI Clock." But I find that very surprising. Surely with all of Reaper's options there's a way? The ERM has a USB connection but that is only for power so what's left is simply a clock signal. Grateful for any suggestions or advice.

If you're using MIDI sync Reaper needs to be the master.
It can slave to MTC or LTC though, if your unit uses either of those?

It just says it sends either "DIN Sync (sync24) or Analogue clock (8ppq)"

So I suppose neither of those are MTC or LTC ?

OK, thanks everyone. Maybe I can extract MTC from one of the synced hardware devices and send that to Reaper...

Unfortunately one of Reapers major shortcomings.
