MIDI beat clock, or simply MIDI clock, is a clock signal that is broadcast via MIDI to ensure that several MIDI-enabled devices such as a synthesizer or music sequencer stay in synchronization. Clock events are sent at a rate of 24 pulses per quarter note .
The main MIDI standard specifies abstract communications protocol for synthesizers, dealing with how to transmit note numbers and controllers, but not what they mean.More standards were created afterwards to state correspondence of particular sounds and sound effects to particular numbers transmitted.

A sequencer can drive a MIDI system with its internal clock, but when a system contains multiple sequencers, they must synchronize to a common clock. MIDI timecode (MTC), developed by Digidesign, [122] implements SysEx messages [123] developed specifically for timing purposes, and can translate to and from the SMPTE timecode standard.
These include a large, very granular tempo slider similar to the sliders found on a modern phonograph and 'push' and 'hold' buttons that permit temporarily slowing down or speeding up the beat clock. It can also transmit MIDI Machine Control and MIDI beat clock , and slave to external beat clock sources such as other Roland grooveboxes.

A click track is a series of audio cues used to synchronize sound recordings, sometimes for synchronization to a moving image.The click track originated in early sound movies, where optical marks were made on the film to indicate precise timings for musical accompaniment.
