So i've been playing around with Kaossilator 2 (small one) and some Volca devices, and have hard times syncing them. Main problem - tap tempo is a bit laggy, and even if you start in sync, you might get out of sync after a while. Really hard to jam in such way.
So, i've been thingking about some ways to make a hardware bpm sync.
The idea I have: Kaossilator 2 has blinking bpm LED. Maybe it is possible to get LED's signal and send it to Volca's Sync IN? Basicly, adding a jack wire from LED connectors on circuit of Kaossilator.

Or, it would be cool if Korg guys add Sync In functionality to Line In of Kaossilator 2 with new firmware.

Hi @Doyoubinoame.
Do you have any kind of sampler? At worst you could try a voice recorder from a mobile (but I havnt tried that).Anything that records should do.
Pick your tempo of KO. Make a loop of 16th notes with a short pulse type sound (snare or blip). Sample it on external device (try and capture as long as possible) or record say 15mins if its a recorder.
Then stream back into sync in on volca. This should work as long as you have polarity and volume set correct.
You could then make some preset sync strips of different tempos to work with.
Hope this helps.
