Features and functionality
-
Gecko MKII sends tap tempo as a CC command, which requires programming adjustments to work with devices accepting tap tempo CC.

Source -
The Gecko MKII does not transmit MIDI clock signals, leading to potential compatibility issues with devices relying solely on MIDI clock for tempo synchronization.
