I couldn't see it either .
What you can do is make your own.
I've used an ER-1 for this so you could try your electribe or any machine not in use, that has a sequencer. Design a click. A snare with short decay say, no effect, set to 1/8 th beats. Experiment may be needed. Phase and volume variables. Phase should be ok. (get back to us if probs).
Output your click into sync in , matching tempo to KO .

Oh I see its volca.. I forgot.
That has midi.
Just fire it with midi clock from somewhere ,then match KO.
There will be some drift after time ,but KO2 has no midi. Just except and if ko is beatless it can work as advantage. Or be unnoticed.

If its a big hassle and noticable ,there's work arounds.
I like to process ko with gear with audio in, that sequencers.
A Monotribe is ace for this.Some electribes do this too.
Fire ko into machine then gate signal with steps from sequencer, forcing drifting ko melodies on beat by the steps. Any large ko drift becomes polyrhythms . It's a trip, especially through the monotribes analogue lpf .
Ko drums don't work as well ,but still get interesting results.

Moog mother ,didn't know you had one of them - nice.
Don't know much about their specs. If it has an audio input that can be shaped by the envelopes ,then sequenced ..well that should work nicely.
