Midi Sync Out Issues

Dear all,
I'm very frustrated with using the MIDI out from the Force to control external gear. I just tried connecting my Elektron Analog Four MKII to the Force, using the MIDI out of the Force to the MIDI in of the Analog Four, with the included MIDI adapter from the Force's box.

On the Force, I set it to send MIDI clock, as I'm only interested in transmitting transport controls. I’ve done several tests, and the only way I’ve managed to get it to work is by connecting my Torso T-1 sequencer to the Force’s MIDI in, and then sending the MIDI thru from the Force to the Analog Four’s MIDI in. That way, everything works.

It seems crazy to me that there’s no direct way to make them communicate.
Is there any solution for this?
Thank you for your attention.

I got my Force used & it didn't come with MIDI adaptor so I got some Elektron one's but they didn't work. Someone told me they are Type B & the Force uses Type A. I they recommend these & it worked:

You may need the Elektron adapter. Now that I just checked these are Type A, so I don't what going on: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... aptor-pair

Thank you so much for your reply. I finally solved it. I had not selected sync in the options, I had only set the midi clock out but I had really bypassed the sync section.

Sometimes, the simple things trips us up.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem with the Elektron and the Akai Force. I have transport and synchronization issues...
Can you tell me how you did it? What are your MIDI/sync settings on the Force?
And what version of the Akai Force do you have? I just upgraded to 3.5.

Thanks!
