OK, for my purposes I managed to rig up a solution… But it would be nice if Elektron could made a more robust solution internally. (i.e. clock/transport to thru/out/both/none)
Anyway…
In case it helps someone else…
On my Alternate Mode Drum Kat (original model… Vintage baby!) it has a R and L midi input and 2x R and L midi outputs. It also has a REALLY nice internal MIDI routing (god I miss ol’ timey synths from manufacturers that still cared about MIDI).
I’ve got keyboard into Kat’s Left midi in
AR’s MIDI out into Kat’s Right midi in
All this gets blended into midi sausage with Kat’s own triggers and…
Right midi in is ONLY sending clock to Right out
Left midi in is sending everything BUT clock (in case some day I connect something with a clock and ferget to modify settings… Not that I would ever do something that stupid) to Right out
So far nothing is emitting smoke, so I don’t think there’s a feedback loop anywhere and I can control DSI’s seq tempo+transport via the AR.
I was really worried there may be some kind of active sensing or something that would feedback, but it doesn’t seem to be.
