Sync a vintage drum machine
Set the multi-out to sync24 and run a 3.5 mm-to-DIN-sync cable into the drum machine's sync input; then sends clock, start, stop and reset.
The OP-XY is the master here: it sets the tempo and the drum machine follows, starting and stopping with the OP-XY's transport. Set the jack's mode before plugging in, since it cannot change with a cable in place.
How to
Clock a DIN-sync drum machine from the OP-XY
before you start the sync cable is not yet plugged into the multi-out
- 1 sync24
- 2 after connecting the cable; the drum machine starts with the OP-XY

- TE’s guide
The connection needs a cable with a 3.5 mm plug for the multi-out and a DIN plug for the drum machine's sync input.

With , clock, start, stop and reset all travel down the cable, so the drum machine follows the OP-XY.
