Roland TR-8 sync with DFAM issue

How can I sync my Roland TR-8 (not TR-08) with my Moog DFAM?
I've tried going through MIDI Out from the TR-8 --> Trigger In (DFAM) --> Trigger Out (DFAM)'t --> Adv/Clock (DFAM)
This, however, didn't really any results. Is there anyone that can help out?

Hi! Did you ever figure this out?

You can’t go midi out of the TR8 to a patch point on the DFAM. I suggest going out of an assignable out. Sacrifice a sound by assigning it to an assignable out and turning it off the main outputs. Then set all the steps to on. Hopefully the volume is strong enough to trigger the DFAM. You can get Eurorack module that will convert audio to trigger as well but hopefully you don’t need it. Try the rim shot.

I have modded my TR8 to send a 5v trigger to the DFAM advance/clock. You assign an instrument (usually rim shot) and it works really well. There is a guy in the UK that sells a mod kit for about £35.
