The reason for asking is that I have a KeyStep and Multiclock and it's been working fine.
However, I have the ERM and keyStep on separate ports on the MRCC rather than chain ERM to KeyStep to MRCC.
For me, it made more sense since I can then use just the start/stop on the ERM to drive everything (including the KeyStep arpeggiator).
It also means I'm not sending MIDI note info to a bunch of gear (like a delay module) that doesn't need to see it.
Thank you for the quick reply. If I run the ERM direct into any midi in, select an output (lit blue) to the synth then there is no sync. Is this what you mean by the mapping? Navigating the menus so far has me a little confused right now as I only got this earlier today.
So you first select the input and you get the LED below the input port with the ERM connected to light up. Then you press one or more output ports so they light up. That is the connection/route from the ERM to the destination. As long as the ERM and target machines are connected using either DIN or TRS, there should be no other steps needed. So you should see a green LED plus one or more blue LEDs.
If that's not working, did you happen to turn on clock filtering? You can check by going to the Routing Screen page and looking at the icons for the In -> Out route you are using. Page 25 of the manual has the details.
If you're using USB or the PC port, there's an additional step to select a virtual port on that interface.
