Hi all. I was wondering what kind of signal the LSDJ analogue accepts as input. I ask because i want to use an external synth that has no dedicated sync out as a master for LSDJ to sync to. This means i manually need to tweak the signal.
How strong should the signal be(this is measured in volts right?), what waveform, at what pitch and how long should the signal be (a single wavecycle or half a second?), any other things?
I have heard about people who could sync it just using a snare sample (albeit it was wonky), so maybe LSDJ's rules for what is accepted as a valid input aren't that strict.
I have no hardware to test this on sadly.

Any tips on this are much appreciated!

looking into the korg volca analog sync signal, it would appear that you need a square wave click (presumably 1 wavecycle? from this thread). it seems like the frequency would be fairly low, like 1 click per 8th or 16th note (the wiki shows depending on the synth, to set LSDJ to generate either 6 or 12 ticks per step). it might just be a matter of trial and error before you get the right signal syncing the way you want it to.

Thanks for your comment!
Maybe this isn't as impossible as i first thought...
