Almost ready to get a Kaossilator pro ..few questions

Ok my setup is...

mixers
allen and heath xone 92 mixer plus xone 2d

Instruments
Electribe esx1 and 2 Electribe emx1

software
ableton live

I have the esx1 as my master and the other two electribes synced with midi.
.... so ESX (int) MIDI out to EMX (ext) to MIDI in... the last electribe (ext) has midi going to MIDI in from the THRU of the middle electribe

all of this works perfectly

What I want to do is... use a kaossilator pro as an instrument going in to either the mixer or into one of the electribes.
The result I want to achieve is having the appegriator always be in time if i hit anywhere on the kaossilator pro.

I read through alot of posts and gleaned some info here and there.. but not exactly getting the answers Im looking for.

so really my main question is

Can the kaossilator pro play the appegriator in time if in slave mode?

I guess I will wait a few more days to see if anyone can confirm this is possible. Starting to look at other options.. mabey a 4th electribe instead of a KO pro

i just got my Kaossilator Pro a couple hours ago. but i think i heard somewhere that the arpeggiator doesn't work in midi mode. have you figured out how to control a soft synth yet?

Im not really using soft synths to be honest... to much work/effort/time to noodle around... Atleast I havnt found a reason to do so yet.. I only have 2 arms and controlling 3 electribes and scratching with a cdj2000 is alot of work. Not to mention a pedal board of fx which diverts my arms south, and then my arms north to the mixer. Electribes and cdj take me from west to east.

Hi,

I don't know if I understand your question, but I know that the KPro in slave-mode only matches the tempo of the master but does not synchronize the beginning of the loops to start/stop-messages!
