MIDI sync

Why can’t I get my pocket piano to MIDI sync with my other equipment? I want it to work so bad with my Teenage Engineering EP 1320 but it won’t work. I’m using a TRS cable, and either out and in on both sides it won’t work.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Thanks for getting a 201. Some questions:

  1. Are you connecting to the MIDI in/out jacks of the 1320? (and not the 1320’s ‘Sync’ ports)
  2. Are the 201 and 1320 set to send and receive on the same MIDI channel?
  3. Is the cable you are using to connect a standard 1/8" stereo “mini” cable? Have you tried a different cable?
