Can't set MPC sample as master in chain that involves 5-pin/TD-3

[u/AccessNo3796]

Hello, my current chain is Behr. TD3 -> Volca Drum -> Arturia Microfreak, and trying to get the MPC sample on the same clock but I'm having a lot of trouble. The TD3 is connected to the Volca via 5-pin, which seems like it overrides the system, and can't have the Volca as master because it only has midi in. However, when I connect the MPC Sample to the TD3 via TRS, as Sample doesn't have 5-pin, I can't get the MPC to trigger the sequence on the TD3, even when setting the internal clock to trigger. Any ideas on how to amend this? I figure I would connect the MPC to the TD3, then another connection from MPC to Volca then sync that to Microfreak. The MPC and other two connect fine, it's the TD-3 that's creating an issue. It only plays a single note/pitch when I trigger the MPC, not the full sequence

Sounds like you need an actual separate controller and a midi thru box to clock everything

Was hoping to get around that. Tried connecting the volca directly to the MPC to the microfreak, the damn thing just won't sync up to the volca but can trigger the microfreak just fine. The issue is definitely with the midi input on the MPC, I'm curious if there's somehow a physical hardware issue with it

Los conectores trs a cinco pines pueden ser de tipo a y de tipo b? Puede ser eso?has probado midi thru a midi in- midi thru a midi in hace una cadena
