I am having problems syncing my SQ-1 from my computer and Ableton Live 8.

It doesn't show up as a device in Live's midi settings, and since it only has a real midi jack for midi out, I can't sync it via midi from my Motu 8pre USB interface.

I read somewhere that it has to be added as a control surface in Live, but it's not in the drop menu, obviously. How can I add a device that is not in the menu?

I had this problem.
The thing is, the sq1 won't output midi if it's receiving midi clock.
I've connected my microbrute via cv and it's syncing nicely.
Btw I don't think you have to add it as a control surface, if it's plugged in it should appear below that bit in the midi -track-sync-remote bit.
If you do want to add it as a contral surface you can pick a random one and then it should appear in the input and output bits.
Hope this helps,
