Midi interface

// in sc..
MIDIClient.init;
~midiOut = MIDIOut.newByName("X18/XR18", "X18/XR18 MIDI 1");

// prototype: addMIDI { |name, device, channel=0| ... }
addMIDI("vbass", midiOut, 1)

// in tidal
d1 $ n "c a f4 e" # s "vbass"

// since channel is only default send something to tenth channel on same device as the vbass like this:
d1 $ n "40" # s "vbass" # channel 9

// these could all do the same, i.e. set pan (which is general midi control 10):
d1 $ cc "10:60 10:122" # s "vbass"
d1 $ ccv "63 127" # cc "10" # s "vbass"
d1 $ pan "0.5 1" # s "vbass"

// could also be paired with 'n' to both set the control change and set the note
d1 $ cc "10:60 10:122" # n "c7 a7*2" # s "vbass"

// The mapping from the 'pan' parameter to cc 10 would be best in superdirt I think, because tidal wouldn't necessarily know that 'vbass' was a midi synth.

// Starting midi clock could be as simple as this, the logic for this could be done in tidal:
d10 $ midiclock "vbass"

you wouldn't name devices, but just link names and default parameters to them.
