Howdy,

I'm looking for a means of syncing the Speed (Tempo) setting of the Korg SQ-1 to the master BPM of the MPC One via USB. The MPC recognizes CTRL and MIDI OUT connections and powers the SQ-1 by default when connected via USB, but I don't quite know enough about MIDI and USB interactions to get them talking, and the manual isn't quite clear enough to penetrate my ignorance on the subject...

The end goal is to be able to launch sequences programmed on the SQ-1 in-time with my MPC One.

Thanks for your help.

in the main menu (the menu with the small icons), there is a field titled „sync“ at the very upper part on the screen. Select the port you connected the sq-1 and make shure that your mpc is the master in the options menu (at MIDI)..
I dont know how to start the sq-1 but at least you are synced now 8)
