External midi clock only syncs when sequencer is running

This is about the iridium.

I can get clock sync to work but it only updates the clock when the clock source (octatrack) sequencer is running. All of my other gear will update the clock even when the sequencer isn’t running.

Am I doing something wrong or is this expected behavior? Is this something that could be updated via firmware?

I'm very new to hardware synths - I've only owned two - the Iridium and the Arturia Polybrute. But both of them work the same - can't get external sync (from my DAW, Presonus Studio One 5 Pro) unless the DAW is in play mode. 

Just shooting in the dark:
Does daw *play ready* send sync?
(meaning play while pause button is engaged)
