Korg WaveState & TR-707 drum - Midi Clock

 Syncing the Korg Wavestate with a Roland TR 707.
 
TR-707 as Master
Works !!!
 
On the 707:
1) Enter Track Play mode.
2) Press the STOP button (to stop the rhythm if it is running).
3) While holding SHIFT, press SYNC MODE to change between the 
different slave/sync modes.
 
Display will show:
5-n = MIDI Sync 
 
4) Make sure you go back to PATTERN mode.
If you are using Midi sync, any of the 16 channels will work ok
 
On the Korg Wavestate
1) Go to Utilities
2) Scroll to Midi (page 2)
    Global Channel : 1
    Local Control: On
    Clock : External or Auto
 
 
Starting the drum won't start the Korg wavestate until you press one of its keys.
They should be in sync with the drum
 
TR-707 as slave
I wasn't able to sync the two machines.
Setting the WaveState's clock to internal, external or auto didn't make a difference.
 If anyone has found a way to fix this let me know.

--------------
From the manual:
 
Clock
[Internal, External, Auto]
Internal: The wavestate will use the Performance’s Tempo setting (also shown and controlled by the TAP TEMPO
button). Use this when playing the wavestate by itself, or when you want the wavestate to control the tempo of external
MIDI devices such as a sequencer or drum machine.
External: The wavestate tempo will synchronize to incoming MIDI Clock messages from either 5-pin MIDI or USB. If
MIDI clocks are not being received, tempo-related features will not function.
Auto: This combines the functionality of Internal and External, so that you don’t have to manually switch between the
two:
If MIDI Clocks are not being received, the wavestate uses its internal tempo.
If MIDI Clocks are being received, they control the tempo. If the clocks stop for more than 500 ms, the wavestate
switches back to internal tempo
