Quad Cortex, MIDI Clock & tempo CC

I have studied the manual and cannot find a way for QC to receive a midi clock!
Has someone managed to send a certain tempo using a CC message?
Thanks

Bumping this from 2023. Can you really not do this?

Most MIDI devices do not use a CC value for tempo, it uses its own clock for tempo. I just hooked up my QC to my computer running Ableton and when I change the tempo of the song in Ableton it syncs up immediately with the tap tempo of the QC.

The manual on page 92 also states you can use CC#44 value 0-127 for Tempo BPM, but I don’t know what the CC value to tempo relationship is, as anything under 40 is too slow to be useful and 127 is a very low max tempo for a lot of things. I would just use midi clock.

Hi, The CC#44 works like the TAP tempo, you need to send it twice, setting the tempo, the CC value doesn’t matter.

Hi!! Have you programmed the CC#44 messages in any DAW? I’m trying to do it and I can’t get it to set the time I need. I send a message on each beat of the measure (a couple of times) and I can’t get it to set the tempo correctly (in a song at 170 BMP it puts me at 150)
Thanks
