MIDI clock differs from MIDI timecode in that it contains tempo as well as positional information. MIDI clock is essentially measured in ticks from the beginning of the project. MIDI clock sends 24 ticks per quarter note, and the tick length is dependent on the Measures and Beats settings on the Ruler tab of the Project Properties dialog.
