i have a problem i'm trying to sort out with mulab + don't know how to do it

i would like to use an external drum machine to control the midi clock in mulab (drum machine master, mulab slave) - i really like the drum machine's ease with which you can interactively create sequences in different time signatures, and make them into tracks - it would be great to link up mulab with this, to create drum tracks in mulab

i've noticed in the session mux window, you can create a 'session event output' module, but not for a 'session event input' module.. is what i'm trying to do not possible in mulab? and if not, do you know why have they mulab developers chosen not to allow this?
...drums quite good, bass too loud and i can't hear the words (the members)

MuLab indeed does not support slave sync.

Anything in developement for external midi sync since 2013 ?

No, slave syncing is not planned atm, sorry.

just would like to express my support for having mulab support slave syncing (to external midi clock) - would be interested in running mulab as a host for windows-only plugins on a mac - this would be a VERY helpful feature - thanks.

If you only want to play VSTis, then you don't need MuLab - it's a sequencer. If you want the modular features, you could use MuX in a host that does support MIDI sync. (I'm assuming you're not after any processing of audio from the Mac as that would require sample-accurate sync, not MIDI sync, of course.)

yes, you're not wrong of course - however, for the last couple of days i've been trying to set up a whole number of different hosts with wineasio for reduced latency -
mulab is actually the only one that seems to be stable (minihost modular crashes when i try to switch to wineasio, bloxpander doesn't recognize it, with cantabile i had the problem that i didn't manage to install the required .NET framework v4 - finally, a lot of the smaller free hosts simply don't seem to accept midi clock).
i think for the synths i'd like to run midi clock would be a crucial feature though (syncing LFOs etc.).
also, i simply think mulab has a nice, clean GUI - i'd be happy buying it and a second screen to run it permanently next to logic X - if only it was possible to sync it somehow...
