How to sync DR 880 drum machine to Z3ta+1 preset arp

Hi guys, new to this midi tech side so pardon the question, I'm hoping to shed some light on this, but I'm trying to sync a BOSS DR-880 that has a drum track on it to a preset arp sequencer on the Z3TA+1 plugin so when I play the drums pattern it's in sync wth the seq arp preset.. Is their a way to route the MIDI so the Z3TA+1 syncs with the DR-880 or should I just record both then try to aligh the beats?
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks

I apologize  I think I misunderstood your question.

By default, DR880 is already in auto sync mode, unless you have changed it. You just need to make sure Sonar is sending midi sync correctly.
 
At the Preference, select Project - MIDI
- check on Transmit MIDI Start/Cont/Clock.
- Optionally check on Transmit MIDI Song Position Pointer (if you are recording DR880 Song - check this, for Pattern recording - leave it off).
- Check on the MIDI Sync port that the DR880 is connected to.
 
When you start Sonar, DR880 should start automatically. It's better to have 1 empty bar at the DR880 (song or pattern) before recording DR880 (midi or audio). Without the empty bar, sometimes there may be a miss at the very first beat.
