Grandmother + TR8

Post by lost_4evr » Sat Nov 16, 2019 6:40 pm

Hey :D
I love my Moog Grandmother so much! I play it almost every day, every sound it makes is a beast. I also have a Roland TR8 (Aira series) that I play drums off of. I'm having trouble figuring out how to sync both together. I want to run the sequencer on my Grandmother and drums on my TR8 in time with each other. I don't quite understand midi clock features on either. If I could get some help on this, I would much appreciate it! I also use Ableton Live to create loops so I want to add my outboard gear to my Live setup : :wink:
Thanks so much!

hooking MIDI OUT from the TR8 to the GM MIDI IN should work, that way the drum machine is master

Hello,
I have the same issue. I connect the TR8 via midi to the Grandmother, but even if I try all sort of settings as described in the manual, the GM does not take the midi lock speed of the TR8. Any idea?
Thanks.
