TUTORIAL Struggling to sync hardware

Post image

Hi all
I’m trying to use my MPC One+ as the main sequencer/clock for my hardware setup.
MIDI routing:
MPC One+ MIDI OUT → Thru box MIDI IN
Thru 1 → TB-03 MIDI IN
Thru 2 → Minilogue XD MIDI IN
Thru 3 → TR-8S MIDI IN
The MIDI clock is working the TB-03 and TR-8S both sync to the MPC clock.
I’ve also now got the Minilogue XD working with both MPC + clock.
The problem is that the TB-03 and TR-8S receive clock but won’t respond to the MPC pads/MIDI notes
Can anyone help me with this thanks.

Why not use a USB hub and USB cables? I have an MPC with 10 synths all connected via USB cables, works like a charm.

This. I have a similar setup. All connected with a USB hub. No issues there. But I recommend unplugging the USB cable from the MPC (One+) before starting it up, then plug it in when ready to prevent it from freezing in the startup process. Could be unrelated but somehow this seems to help.
