C Synching To Synthesizer Sequencers - Alesis SR-16 Reference Manual

3. Press PLAY on the system master. The SR-16 should start at the same time, and progress
at the same tempo. If the master generates Song Position Pointer, you can start the master at
any point, and both units will synchronize from that point on.
The following diagram shows an SR-16 slaved to the MIDI system master clock, provided in
this case by a keyboard "workstation" on-board sequencer.

8.1C Synching to Synthesizer Sequencers

Many synthesizers include built-in sequencers (Ensoniq EPS16+ and VFX-SD, Roland D-20,
Korg M1 and T1, Peavey DPM-3, etc.). You can use the SR-16 as a drum expander module
and record the required notes in one of the sequencer tracks. Or, record a Song in the SR-16,
and sync it to the keyboard sequencer's timing data so you don't need to use up a sequencer
track.
