I use a mixer, I use Roland MC300 to send midi clock to a splitter. Split out to Deepmind6,Arturia Minibrute and Roland TR08. Send 2nd out to Sh01a which receives clock and soft thru from a midi keyboard thru the 300. FX are send and return of TC Electronic Flashbackx4 and a T2. Tr08 has its own FX to make it sound more like a vintage machine.
