The arp now syncs perfectly to a DAW. Really appreciate it. Being able to use the onboard arp is a little thing that adds lots of creative possibilities.

While the original synths received and followed master clock, they did not have midi beat sync. Meaning you couldn't accurately sync up the arpeggiator or sequencer to an external drum machine via midi unless you played 100% accurate or perfectly hit the keys or sequencer button on time. This new feature (Which is now part of nearly the whole Sequential line-Prophet 6, OB6, Prophet X and Prophet REV2-and will likely be implemented in their synths going forward) means you regardless if you hit the keys or play button accurately, it will detect a beat and sync up to it automatically. It's really been beneficial for me.

I did this track and the middle part has the arpeggiator on the Prophet-6 perfectly synced to the Tempest.

That being said, the sequencer jack on the back of the P-6 is actually meant for beat detection if you are using a CV type setup with  kick drum feeding each step of the sequence or arpeggiator.

Do you know if it works for Prophet08 as well? As far as I know it's not implemented for this model.

This is not implemented on the Prophet 08 and will not be as development has ceased some time ago.
