Problems with Touché and Digitone

Hi!
I just bought a Touché and must say that this is a wonderfull addition to the Digitone or of course every hard- and software-instrument to play more expressive or just to easily record automation lines.
But I have a little problem now:
My Digitakt is sending midi clock to the Digitone over an iConnectMidi4+. When I use the Touché to control synth parameters in the Digitone (also over iConnectMidi4+), it has a negative influence for the incoming midi clock signal (signal is crazy jumping up and down) into the Digitone.
It has an extreme effect when using the arpeggiator in the Digitone, because when the midi clock signal is a lot of jumping (while using the Touché), the arpeggiator make crazy things.
I solved this problem while making the Digitone as master clock and the Digitakt as slave, but when I want to use the Touché for the Digitakt, I have of course the same problem here.

It seems that the Digitone or Digitakt can not handle this amount of incoming Midi CC signals from the Touché (you can can control up to 8 parameters at the same time) but I am not an expert here.
The problem also occurs when I control only the cutoff for example, so maybe the amount of incoming data is not the problem?

Has anybody here an idea to solve this issue more elegant?

You don’t have a midi loop do you? I’m not familiar with the Touché and I don’t know exactly how your gear is connected but the problem you describe could be attributed to a midi feedback loop.

No, I checked everything and I don’t have a midi feedback loop.

you could use a MIDI monitor to check what’s coming out of the Touche’. i would also try and connect the controller straight into either DT or DN (in case you haven’t done that already) to see if that happens even without the iConnectMIDI in between

Turn off internal clock for the Midi4+ in the iConnectivity software+. I had a similar issue when I had mine.
It’s a clever box but can be a real headache setting up your Midi and USB Midi routings. It’s very easy to have Midi loops and clock issues if not set up correctly.
