@NoyzBotChip I'm really not good on "really clean and finish hardware done by myself", I improve on this everyday, but today I'm average. When I do a cable myself It could break and I hate this. Because I don't use the right material...

Music must be fun for me and when I play with hardware I want them to be rock solid. And don't want to stop playing because it is not solid.

So if you are like me, not a really good hardware guy, buy some solid and finish stuff and play music.
It's really fun to have a solid setup. Hardware which tend to break is the worst thing...
It kill productivity and idea and you loose the motivation.

Last, if you want to use midi with nanoloop, this box is the best one : http://m.ebay.fr/sch/i.html?isRefine=tr … mwBanner=1

I have multiple arduino and lsdjmc2 box, and this one is just perfect.

I'll definitely consider just buying a cable if I don't have anything to experiment with. I'm thinking about just coding up a bit of perfboard so I can have a CV split and a MIDI split, but if it doesn't work out, buying a thing might be my best option.

Please note that it is possible to get a seemingly working setup with wrong connections. In some cases, swapped GND and signal pins still let the slave see a sync pulse, but voltage levels are wrong.

So trial & error is NOT a good approach for finding the right connections, nor are wire colors.

Measuring the pin connections is obligatory.

I use this cable from duality micro https://evadeanddualitymicro.bandcamp.c … slave-mode

Mainly use with a korg electribe 2, and it works really fine. The electribe 2 send the pulse sync, the nanoloop 2.7.x is slave sync. There is no jitter. And I can apply some fx to the nanoloop 2.7 because the electribe has an audio in. It's a great portable setup because the electribe 2 support 6xAA battery.  Really great setup on the go.

I think I need to rebuild my midi cable (daaaammmmiiittttt) because what's happening for me on midi is roughly the same. I get the same sync issues on MIDI that you had on CV, but I also have an issue where the volca just STOPS PLAYING out of nowhere.

UPDATE:

I slapped a DIN5 on there to see if I could get stable MIDI sync and..

IT'S GOLDEN. Same sync cable, same GB, same cart.

Just a shame that CV sync couldn't work out. Thanks for joining me on this journey yall! Could luck with getting your clock sync working.

Mods, we can close this thread ty

Could you try with a different PSU for the volca ?
Maybe a "ground" issue.

Thanks for the responses yall! I've synced the Volca Sample to other hardware - mainly Pocket Operators - to great, locked in success so I don't think it's the Volca.

And it's a stereo cable for sure!

I've got a NL coming in the mail but if i'ts the cart - that won't help.

LAWD.

Hi mates, well i have the same situation here when i have this setup. Any Volca than a monotribe and than the sample. If i use the sample alone as master, all fine. Do i use the monotribe as master, all fine. Do i use all volcas and the monotribe ... all fine. But do i have the combination that the monotribe is the master of the sample, i have that too. Maybe sometimes a little signal runs thru the volcas in nanoloop. I am nit sure. But everytime when i plug the sample in my sync chain, the proplem is there. I know that the monotribe and the volcas had different pulses. I have the feeling that sometimes an extra signal runs into naoloop and makes this issue. If you try out one time the sample is master or the monotribe, maybe you can find a way. Or, there is a problem in your cable. Hope that helps a bit and sorry for my bad english

This reminds me of an issue i had with syncing volcas to modular.
Make sure that the volca receives a stereo jack cable, not a mono.

So I've tried this with two different GBs now - a typical AGB-001 and AGS-001 (SP). i've also rebuilt the cable - it was originally built with a DMG-005 cable and an adapter. Now I've rebuilt it with actual CGB-003 GB Advanced sync cable. I've tried syncing to a Volca, PO-14, PO-16:

THEY ALL SKIP STEPS

Am I going crazy here? How the hell are you all getting a dependable sync?? This is killing me - I only picked up NL2 for the analog sync! Could my cart be faulty?

AHHHHH (DYING). Thanks for any help yall can provide.

Thanks for the offer dude

I've got a few you can borrow if you want.
