Arduino Pro Mini programming MIDI

Hardware/software :

-Arduino Pro-Mini/AT mega 328P
-FTDI232 to program the pro-mini
-Windows 10
Arduino IDE 1.8.15

I'm trying to build a Midi Sync box to sync the Jam Man looper with midi
because they don't natively recieve or transmit midi they. Digitech uses some proprietary
Pulse/Signal. So this box is necessary to use the Jam Man looper with midi.
found this code on-line somewhere it says it can be modified to work with the ATmega arduino
was wondering if anyone could help me modify the code to work for what i'm trying to use it for.
and also need help programming the Arduino Pro-Mini

/*
This sketch listens to incoming midi clock messages on port RX and pulses output tempo_pin each quarter note,
i.e. every 24th clock tick
Written for Attiny85 but can be modified for other Atmega, Attiny MCU's
IMPORTANT! Don't use pins RX, TX for anything else other than the SoftwareSerial library

Read the documentation & follow the instructions.

Thats all I can offer as you have not posted anything usefull.

Which .hex files? Which documentation?

If you're referring to MIDI over USB firmware, this is not possible on the Pro Mini, it can only do serial MIDI.

Don't post pictures of text!

What com port is your programmer set up on?

I'm not sure

Sorry :neutral_face: I didn't know
