Hey guys i just bought a USB to Midi Cable but my volca fm doesn’t clock in with the organelle. Do I need to buy a sequencer to connect a volca with my organelle? ---

Did you try this? Assuming you want Volca to sync to midi clock. But you would also have to make sure that the Organelle patch sends midi clock. > **[How do I set up my Korg Volca series synth module to sync to an external MIDI...](https://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/articles/how-do-i-set-up-my-korg-volca-series-synth-module-to-sync-to-an-external-midi-clock/)** > > Check out the How do I set up my Korg Volca series synth module to sync to an external MIDI clock? page at Sweetwater — the world's leading music technology and instrument retailer! ---

It’s a killer combo - enjoy. I use an Octatrack sequencer and a Midi Thru Unit to sync my Organelle and Volca FM, but you can just connect a USB to MIDI cable from one to the other and it will sync if set to the same midi channel on both (actually I think it might sync even if not set to same channel). ---

> [@hameedullah](#): > > also, how do i find out if a patch sends midi clock? use the C&G ones for testing, as many of those with a sequencer do send it… I’m pretty sure the new 1008 is sending out midi clock. ---

It would be great if this was visible in the menu system somehow. (Sending MIDI clock or not.)
