Basic midi confusion: tracker plus

MIDI NEWBIE

I’m trying to midi control/sequence my PWM MALEVOLENT (midi in) with my POLYEND TRACKER PLUS (midi out)

Im using a midi cable not usb

I put the instrument on midi channel 1

could someone tell me what the midi config menu should read as in each section so i can sequence my SYNTH with my TRACKER PLUS:

CLOCK IN:?

CLOCK OUT:?

TRANSPORT IN:?

TRANSPORT OUT:?

NOTES IN:?

NOTES IN CHANNEL:?

MIDI OUT:?

CC IN:?

CC IN CHANNEL:?

MIDDLE C: ?

CLOCK SYNC CORRECTION:?

ANY TIPS ON HOW TO START A MIDI SEQUENCE ARE WELCOME

If you want to control an external synth on channel 1, your config menu should look like this

Clock in: Internal

Clock out: MIDI out jack

Transport in: Internal

Transport out: Midi out jack

Notes in: Off

Notes in channel: (any)

MIDI out: MIDI out jack

CC in: Off

CC in channel: (any)

Middle C: C-3 (default)

Clock sync correction: 0

How you sequence a synth on channel 1 is by selecting MIDI Channel 1 from your instruments list. They’ll be down at the bottom (instruments 51-66). Once you have the midi channel selected from there, its ready to send note and velocity data to your external synth. There is also a variety of CC’s you can send by setting them to your macros (CC A, CC B, etc.), so if you have a midi CC list for your external synths, you can set those up from the Instruments Parameters menu. That should be the gist of it. Hope this helps!
