Possible to tempo sync Space to Korg SQ-1?

[balthasar]

Hi, I’m driving a small synth setup with a SQ-1 and was wondering if there was a way to make them talk to each other. Specifically I want the Space to receive clock from the SQ-1. SQ-1 has a sync-out which is a 5V 15 ms click track, but Space only takes MIDI in. Maybe anybody knows a workaround? Thanks 🙂

There must be some sort of cable/adapter that sends MIDI from SQ-1 jack to 5-pin normal MIDI jack.

Also make sure your turn on CLK IN on your Space

Thanks! Sync’ing through MIDI indeed works
