How do I sync with other gear?
The EP-1320 can sync with other gear using sync cables, MIDI, or USB. Choose the method based on what you're connecting to.
Sync Cables
Connect devices using 3.5mm TRS cables. Access sync settings by pressing altero + erado, then navigate to sync settings (codes 200-212).
For input sync (Medieval follows):
- Code 200: 1/8 note sync
- Code 201: 1/16 note sync (default)
- Code 202: Sync24 for vintage drum machines
For output sync (Medieval leads):
- Code 210: 1/8 note sync
- Code 211: 1/16 note sync (default)
- Code 212: Sync24 for vintage drum machines
Specific Connections
Two Medieval units: Set both to 1/16 sync. Connect sync out of the leader to sync in of the follower.
Pocket Operator to Medieval: Use a TRS to dual TS splitter cable. Connect PO's right channel to Medieval's input and left channel to Medieval's sync in. Set the PO to SY1 mode. Set Medieval to input sync code 200 (1/8 note).
Medieval to Pocket Operator: Connect Medieval's sync out to PO's input. Set PO to SY2. Set Medieval to output sync code 210 (1/8 note).
Vintage drum machines: Connect sync cables (you may need a 3.5mm to DIN adapter, but not a MIDI cable). Set Medieval to code 202 (Sync24 in) or 212 (Sync24 out).
MIDI Sync
Connect via 3.5mm TRS-MIDI cables or USB-C. Press altero + erado, navigate to MIDI settings. Set code 101 for MIDI clock in (Medieval follows) or 102 for MIDI clock out (Medieval leads). The Medieval sends and receives Clock, Start, Stop, Continue, and Song Position messages.
