Queueing up Tracker with external midi clock #1265

Could we set how the play button quantizes to external midi clock? For example, pressing play one bar early and having it start on the next bar to sync up. It would be great to be able to change this in config to set play to quantize to a number of bars (1, 2, etc...).

If not, then it would also work to be able to send start/stop midi cc messages to the Tracker from an external source, so once the message is sent, the Tracker starts playing.

This would greatly help live sets when the Tracker is not the clock leader.

I've been trying to come up with a hardware work around for this using the Erica synths "clk<>midi" module. This still requires you to press the start button at just the right time and takes a bit of practice/luck.

I have the same flow. A constant clock running elsewhere and I want to be able to start stop the PT on the beat after loading a new .IT file.
