The TX-6 can sync Pocket Operators using its sync output feature, which sends a clock pulse through the audio outputs.

Setting up sync output

The TX-6 has a dedicated sync output mode that sends a sync pulse signal compatible with Pocket Operators and other devices that use audio sync.

  1. 1.Access the system menu by holding shift and pressing the encoder.
  2. 2.Navigate to the sync output setting using the encoder.
  3. 3.Enable sync output on the desired channel. The sync pulse will be sent through that channel's output.
  4. 4.Connect a cable from the TX-6 output to the Pocket Operator's sync input (the left 3.5mm jack on most Pocket Operators).
  5. 5.Set the Pocket Operator to sync mode SY2 or SY4 (depending on your setup) using the Pocket Operator's own menu.

Tips

  • Keep the sync channel's fader at an appropriate level, as the sync pulse level affects whether the Pocket Operator detects the signal reliably.
  • The TX-6's tempo will drive the Pocket Operator's tempo once sync is established.
  • Make sure the sync output channel is not muted.

Check the sync output section of the TX-6 manual for the specific channel assignment options available in your firmware version.
