Question about Subsequent 37 sync to external

The Moog Forum Subsequent 37 & Subsequent 25

Hey, folks,

I have my Subsequent set up as a slave to my Virus TI for the arpeggiator tempos, but I’m a bit confused about something. It says in the manual to press it once, to sync it to the external synth, but the synth doesn’t make a sound until I hit the sync button again. I saw in the manual how it won’t make a sound unless it’s recieving midi clock… isn’t the fact that it’s slaved mean it’s always recieving midi clock?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding this, but is it really set up so I have to hit the sync button twice? Once to recieve the temp from the other synth, and then, again, to play sounds? I’m fine with that, but I just want to make sure I’m not doing something wrong.

Thanks.

You just need to enable sync on the 37 and then as soon as MIDI clock comes in it will sync to it - I use my 37 with Logic all the time and it syncs great. If you have sync enabled and there is no MIDI clock incoming then things like the sequencer / arpeggiator won’t work (it won’t advance) until the 37 receives clock
