I gave up, but did find a temporary solution. If I load Bidule as a VST, and set up a sync to MIDI clock object there to my hardware sequencer, things work perfectly. Otherwise I get a glitchy sync (especially when looping) and when I stop Tracktion the hardware sequencer keeps playing. Basically unuseable.
In addition, while I didn't take the time to set up midiOX or something to troubleshoot, while syncing from Tracktion something else was being set to the hardware sequencer, since it would reset itself to other patterns other than the one I intended. Syncing through Bidule solved that also.
I'm loving Tracktion, but it's driving me crazy so far.
MIDI clock wayyyy too buggy

This sounds like it is probably related to the problem that Hexman and myself are having. Using Tracktion's own MIDI output (not through Bidule) zoom out completely on the edit window (F5 and F8) and play the track and see if things are improved. It seems that screen updates are interfering with external MIDI output, and minimising the amount of screen updating the problem all but vanishes.

Unfortunately, to cap off a very bad weekend software wise, the hardware sequencer broke down last night! So I can't test this.rich_h wrote:This sounds like it is probably related to the problem that Hexman and myself are having.

This would make sense to me though because things were so bad that I couldn't believe that anyone had actually tested this feature. I'll see if I can try it later on another device, or maybe just sending to other software.
