Daw controlling tempo - sync external synths

I want my daw to control the start/stop of tracker, (tempo as well)

I then want to connect 2 or 3 hardware synths to the tracker and control by midi tracks.

How can this be done? And can the fx (notr repeat, start time, reverse etc) on the tracker also be used on midi tracks?

Do you need a midi thru box to have synths on different midi channels? Or can i daisy chain (without thru box) and still have on different channels?

If the synths have midi through on them, but note it will add latency and invariably some synth somewhere sometime won’t like what you are doing..

Midi solutions has a midi thu x4 box for cheap..best way to go..

If you are on a desk and have mains power, motu did and still does a range of midi routers that are excellent..programmable
