Controlling MicroKorg with M:S sequencer EDIT: SOLVED

Hi there!

I got the Model Samples a few months ago and a MicroKorg shortly afterword. I am new to Hardware Synthesis and MIDI so I am going to need a hand.

So far to get the two to chime I have been running the M:S as the master clock and then running it’s output into the AUDIO IN 2 Port of the MicroKorg. This way I have been utilizing the onboard Arpeggiator of the MK while being able to add additional filtering and modulation to the M:S signal.

Now that’s all fine and dandy but really this has just been a work around because trying to control my MK with my Model Samples as the Master Sequencer has been difficult, heartbreaking and very disappointing.

I have been working on this problem for MONTHS now. I have fiddled with so much shit and read through both manuals trying to make this work. I know for a fact it can as I have seen it on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rRwA01mZg0&t=84s).

So far here’s what I have.

ON MK: Local: OFF - Position: Pre - Midi Channel: 1

ON M:S: I am trying to use T1 as my track for the MK. It is set to Midi Channel 1.
SYNC: Clk In: ON, Clk Out: ON, PCH In: ON, PCH Out: ON
IN CHAIN and OUT CHAIN are Factory Set
PORTS: INP: Midi, OUT: Midi, POL: INV Out/Thru: OUT
FILTER: Rcv Note: ON, Rcv CC: ON, Enc: I+E

Whew. So yeah… I am having a lot of trouble and I figured someone on here probably knows what’s up. I would really appreciate any insight.

One last bit: I did enable MOut on T1. If you ask me to do this you did not read all the way through :wink:

ANSWER: Polarity needed to be set to standard :slight_smile:

That’s a good description of the setup you’re trying, but what is the problem you’re hitting?

Are they not syncing, are you unable to sequence the MK from the M:S, are notes lost…?

I don’t have experience with this pair, but more detail may help others.
