Sync a pocket operator
Set the multi-out to sync8, run a plain 3.5 mm cable into the pocket operator's input, set the pocket operator to sync mode SY2 and press .
Because SY2 keeps the pocket operator's output in stereo, you can run its audio into the OP-XY's audio input or a mixer while it follows the OP-XY's tempo. The OP-XY sets the tempo; the pocket operator only listens.
