Yes, the good Doctor has several MIDI syncing options, more accurately:
INTERNAL, REMOTE, MIDI and AUTO. INTERNAL makes it the MIDI master, I tried
this but Muse doesn't trigger as a MIDI Slave for some reason. REMOTE
is used just to Start/Stop the playback and possibly rewind if the MIDI
Master has support for the Song Position Pointer (does Muse?). I forgot
the correct function for the MIDI option, I am not at home right now
so I can't check the DR-880's manual, sorry.

I set it up to REMOTE, because that is the only option that works with
Muse.

Best,

Hiram.
