Tascam DP24 / Alesis SR18 MIDI

Hi people.

I'm having a bit of a problem using my SR18 with my DP24.
I'm trying to lay down my drum tracks before I put down the rest of my tracks, but i'm hoping to put each individual drum on to separate tracks.
I am pretty new to this, but I believe I should do a few "passes" as the SR18 has 3 outputs, example being TK1 snare, TK2 kick, TK3 hats. Then do another pass putting TK4 crash etc etc. I believe I should use midi for this. So far I seem to be able to get the DP24 to control the SR18, but the tempo I have set on the SR18, 94 for example, I then press record on the DP24 and the tempo goes missing from the SR18 screen and the tempo speeds up. I'm wondering which i need to be the "master and "slave" for this and if there maybe something else I'm doing wrong here.

Any questions or answers will be much appreciated.
Thanks
 
Hi C4th,

You need to set the tempo on the Dp24 itself which you will find in "metronome" making it the master.

Just curious... does the SR18 really have three outputs?
