Tempo sync Digitakt, Mother-32 and DFAM

I’m not sure if anybody is still struggling with this issue, but I would like to share my approach to syncing all these boxes together. I’m testing it for a few days and works pretty good so far.

  • sequence Mother-32 on Digitakt as usual
  • set Mother-32 ASSIGN output to any of MIDI CC values
  • connect Mother-32 ASSIGN to DFAM ADV/CLOCK
  • create new MIDI track on Digitakt
  • set track length to 2
  • configure MIDI channel on “MIDI source” page and MIDI CC routing on “CC select” page
  • put 2 trigless trigs, first one with CC value set to 127 and second one with 0

If you hit play on Digitakt (and press RUN/STOP button on DFAM), then Digitakt should output pulse-like signal on MIDI CC and DFAM clock should advance.
