Using SP 404 for beats alongside hardware synths live??

Hi,

I'm wanting to start doing some live sets with my hardware setup, is the any way of syncing the MIDI of my SP 404 up with my synths (a microbrute and a korg volca bass)?

I want to be able able to play drum loops from the SP 404 alongside the synths, but I dont want them to gradually go out of time as the loops repeat, or to be out of time because I've pressed the pad at the wrong second.

Basically I want to be able to use my Sp 404 as a drum machine, with beats and drum loops I have loaded onto it, is there any way of utilising the MIDI to ensure it is neatly in time? Or am I going to have to just get a drum machine?

Thanks a bunch!
 
Yeah, as rhythmgj said you'll need something that can output MIDI clock - all your current gear only has MIDI inputs. I guess theoretically you could make use of the Microbrute sequencer and CV output, but it's not really a solution here.
