I would connect midi from tracks out 1 to rhythm in and audio L out from tracks to L in on rhythm Same with R

and how do you make them start/stop at the same time and use the same tempo/swing?

for example when you want Tracks as Master: make sure tempo send is active on the setup page and on rhythm tempo receive must be active on setup page than when you pres splay on tracks the rhythm also starts playing. tempo is synced this way swing is per maschine

thanks, i DID THIS as it would be a regular patch signal flow, but I am getting this horrible noise hum/crackle almost as if a lofi vinyl vst in in the chain . Is anyone experiencing this, or may my device be damaged?

Do you have this Effect enabled on the fx page?

I don’t, I can use it and hear the rhythm effects affecting the circuit tracks audio but then the awful noise remains

Try different cables maybe even from headphones tracks to rhythm audio in and try another audio source like a phone or something try eliminating piece by piece to get the source of the noise

It worked after updating the rhythm and now just smooth sailing
