docs(amyboard): document MIDI clock sync (following and sending)#1028
Merged
Conversation
python.md covered sending MIDI notes (midi_out + amy.AMY_MIDI) but not clock sync. Add a "Syncing to MIDI clock" subsection: - Following: tulip.external_midi_sync(True/False) to slave AMYboard to an external F8 clock (off by default); F8 sets tempo, FA/FC start/stop while enabled. - Sending: emit FA/F8/FC with tulip.midi_out(), and a tempo-locked clock generator via tulip.seq_add_callback() (48 PPQ internal vs 24 PPQ MIDI -> period=2). The FA/FC-gating and "sync off restores internal clock" semantics described here land with shorepine/amy#748.

Adds a Syncing to MIDI clock subsection to
docs/amyboard/python.md. #1024 documented sending MIDI notes (midi_out+amy.AMY_MIDI) but clock sync wasn't covered, and the receive switch (tulip.external_midi_sync) wasn't in the AMYboard docs at all.Following an external clock
tulip.external_midi_sync(True/False)— off by default; slaves AMYboard's sequencer to incomingF8(24 ppqn sets tempo), withFA/FCstarting/stopping it while enabled.Sending clock
FA/F8/FCviatulip.midi_out().tulip.seq_add_callback(fn, 0, 2)— AMY's sequencer is 48 PPQ and MIDI clock is 24 PPQ, soperiod=2emits a tick every other sequencer tick.All API calls verified against
