2 k-pros. Will they sync

[Austin1]

Has anyone tried to sync two kaossilator pros? I am well aware of the issues it has with other devices. I want too know if the loops would stay in sync with each other.

Would it be better to have a kp3 as the second device and play sample loops through it? It seems from reading on the forums that those two will stay in sync.

Also, is ther anything that can be done about that loading time from the sd card and it putting the brakes on eveything?

Thanks.

From what I know:
The tempo will sync but not the pattern-offset.

Thanks. That's what I thought but I wanted some first hand knowledge.

Out of the box it does not sync, but in the KPro-manual they describe a trick to sync pattern-offset with other midi-devices:
The master-midi-device must send a touchpad-on-message at the beginning of each loop to synchronize patterns.

Here's the section of the KPro-manual:

MIDI Sync function
The BPM of the KAOSSILATOR PRO can be
set to follow MIDI Time Clock messages from
an external MIDI device. Connect the MIDI
OUT connector of an external MIDI device
(such as a sequencer set to transmit MIDI time
clock messages) to the MIDI IN connector of
the KAOSSILATOR PRO.
TIP: This function will not synchronize sequence
data with the KAOSSILATOR PRO’s rhythm pattern
programs. If you want to synchronize sequenced
data and the KAOSSILATOR PRO’s internal rhythm
patterns, you will either have to insert a Touch Pad
On message into the beginning of each measure of
your sequence data, or touch the touch pad at the
beginning of each of the KAOSSILATOR PRO phrases
to start the pattern.
TIP: If you want the KAOSSILATOR PRO to receive
Timing Clock and Touch Pad On messages, go to
MIDI Setting (→p.20), and select “Applying the MIDI
message filter” (→p.21) so that these messages will
be received.

perhaps this helps?
