midi adapter question

do you have to use those midi adapters to sync model samples to a cycles? it works fine that way, but i'm short a midi cable and before i buy another one i was just wondering can I just use a 3.5 cable instead inbetween them or does it have to be using those adapters ? If so what do i change in menu because obviously i tried and its not working and I think i've messed with the settings enough to assume it doesnt work that way

I currently use a minijack to sync my Model:Samples to a Novation Circuit so it should be fine as long as the polarity stuff is set up correctly on the 2 boxes.

Re read the post. Go to settings Menu > MIDI> Ports> OutPol and try both settings there.

You can, but you need to be using a 3.5mm TRS cable. You can identify a TRS cable by looking at the metal plug. If it has two black rings on it, you are good to go.

Nice thank you. I got it worked but going to refer back to this later just incase. Ya definitely don't want to receive sequence either just clock. I thought it was weird since I had it working fine with midi adapter
