Syncing a Nord 2x, SH-101 and TR-707

Hi there, I've used my synthesizers for mainly live use so i don't know an awful lot about syncing them up and i have no idea how to do it with these three. I also have a Soundcraft Compact 10 mixer, if that helps? As you can tell, i'm a genuine novice so any help would be fantastic!

Are you sure you want to synchronize them? For example, do you want to have the sequencer in the SH-101 play in time with the TR-707, and have the LFO modulation on the Nord run in time with the TR-707 as well? That's what sync would mean with those three instruments.

You need to send the SH-101 continuous eighth notes (I think) from the rimshot of the 707 to the trigger in of the 101. Set the Nor to external MIDI clock, and connect a MIDI cable from the 707 MID OUT to the Nord's MIDI IN.

Or do you mean you want to mix them?
