MC-808 as slave but sending the clock to Pulse 2

Hello everyone,

I am afraid there is no solution to this problem and someone might have already presented this issue however I'll go ahead and ask.

My setup is the following:

Laptop with traktor software + MC-808 + Pulse 2 (desktop module)

Traktor generates the midi clock and sends it to the MC-808 which is in slave mode in order to lock to the clock during the set. The MC-808 is also used as a controller for the pulse2 synth and here comes the problem:

- the Pulse 2 has an internal arpeggiator, which requires a clock in order to run (internal or external). However the MC-808 sends no clock when in SLAVE mode making the pulse arpeggiator unlocked to the set and it requires me to use the MC-808 arpeggiator which is way less controllable.

Any solution?

Thank you,

Cheers

Have you tried midi thru or remote instead of slave??

Midi mergers and splitters could be a solution. Like Kenton MIDI Thru 5 and Kenton Midi Merge. There are other companies as well, of course.
