Well, it seems like you want to do everything, so then yes, you will need to get other boxes (MIDI splitter, hardware sequencer, etc.) but then you keep going back to this statement: "What I was hoping to achieve was the ability to create music, with each mother playing individual parts and all synths perfectly synced whilst I have a bit of a play along with my Guitar." and my initial suggestion will let you do exactly that. No offense but, it sounds like you are trying to run before you learn how to walk...DavyP wrote:Hi Jido, I can follow what you are saying re the connections but does that allow me individual control over each Mother 32? So if for example I had each set to a different midi channel does the set up you suggest allow the signal to bypass say the 1st and 2nd mother 32 and only play the third if I wish?
I'd also wanted to allow for a bit of expandability, I'm currently in the process of arranging for repair to my Voyager RME which I shall then include in the setup.
I'd also like to add various pedals and use my guitar with it. I perhaps should have mentioned this in the intial post.
What I was hoping to achieve was the ability to create music, with each mother playing individual parts and all synths perfectly synced whilst I have a bit of a play along with my Guitar. I want to exclude the computer as I find I then get more caught up in fiddling with logic and adding further to my array of half-finished songs. I just want to have fun playing music.
Anyway I appreciate your thoughts and am open to consider all suggestions as I have only a little bit of knowledge regarding this. I know in my head what I want to achieve I just have no idea how

You need to learn how these things work in the first place before you go off buying all sorts of other accessories/utility items you may not need. If you are getting the Sub 37 and 3 Mother-32s, work with that first. See what they are capable of, then you may find you don't need anything else.
Again, you can have the clock of the Sub 37 sync'd to the first Mother-32, then the first Mother-32 sync'd to the other two Mother-32s via CV, with all 3 Mother-32s playing their own sequences perfectly in sync with the Sub 37, where you could at the same time be playing a lead line, or having it's own [Sub 37] sequence playing. That's FOUR sequences all playing their own thing, in sync, with only one MIDI cable and two CV cables needed! Not a bad setup to start with...
Then if you want to add other MIDI synths and pedals or whatever else, you could then get a MIDI splitter, or a central master sequencer like the Cirklon, or go Eurorack where you can add all sorts of clock generators, MIDI to CV modules, etc. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of options and configurations that can be had... but try to walk first before you start sprinting towards that finish line.
