Connecting and syncing multiple Arturia devices with Presonus usb96 for recording

Hello all!

I am trying to get all my devices connected together and synced. Please help! I have a Presonus usb96, Arturia keystep 37 midi controller, Arturia drumbrute impact, and Arturia microfreak.

how do I get these all hooked up, synced, and able record audio from the devices, with the keystep controlling it all?

Thank you in advance

You might need Garageband's Smarter Brother, Logic. GB is not designed to sync with external midi instruments, but simply record them. I.e., you can record beats from the drum machine onto a track, but cannot have GB trigger the drum machine to play its beats externally.

GB wants you to record onto its tracks for playback, and since it has no Midi Out, you cannot use your keyboard to play external instruments.
