send cv clock from something, TD3 set to analogue and it plays its own sequence in time right - ok nothing special here
at the same time have midi connected
IF you are sending midi note data from another instrument or DAW that is in the sync chain when you press STOP on the td3 it auto selects the midi input
thus allowing you to have totally different patterns, i do this a lot
then when you want the TD3 pattern to be back in control just hit play and it picks up

Sweet advice. Yes, I apologize and was wrong. In checking now, I have my TD-3 set to Internal clock, which means it will accept midi information and it is my Keystep Pro, that is receiving midi clock from my DAW and sequencing the TD-3. If I have my TD-3 set to midi clock, it will not accept midi note information.
Do as above and try and clock from multiple sources, or leave a blank pattern, so that the sequencer may trigger, but it doesn't actually play anything, as there is nothing to play.
Wondering though, why would you need to send midi clock, if you aren't using the internal sequencer? That is the only reason you would want to use midi clock, is to keep the internal sequencer in time, with other gear. If you are sequencing the TD-3 externally, the playback timing of the sequencing device, would keep things in time.
