MIDI IN to sync POD GO with external MIDI device?

[andyshieh]

I am thinking about getting the POD GO Wireless.

One thing I'd like to confirm before I do so is whether the POD GO can receive MIDI signal and be synced with an external MIDI device that is not a computer.

 

In my use case, I have a BeatBuddy drum machine.

I currently use BeatBuddy to send MIDI signal into my Helix LT so that the BPM in Helix LT is synced with whatever beats I'm playing on my BeatBuddy.

Can this be achieved with POD GO as well?

It seems like POD GO does not have dedicated MIDI IN and OUT connectors, but only a USB Port.

If this feature exists, does it mean it require a MIDI IN/OUT to USB A converter?

 

Thank you for your help.

The POD Go has MIDI over USB capabilities only, so it would need to be connected to a MIDI host device in order to receive MIDI clock.

Thanks @phil_m for the clarification. Seems like it won't work then. Cheers.

you don't need a computer...I thought about adding a hardware host for my GO to support interaction with my source audio pedals....The problem is that it takes up space on the pedalboard and increases the cost to the point of a stomp xl....so I went there instead....but you can do it.
