What you are trying to do is much more complicated that what I was first thinking. Volcas can be sometimes tricky to synchronize with everything else, and still, you have to deal with Sonic-Pi to synchronize. I would suggest you to try something different to achieve what you want.

For instance, you could benefit from using the `live_audio` type of loop, as suggested by Sam Aaron in [another topic](http://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/syncing-with-an-external-midi-clock/1048). You could also try syncing your Volca with a DAW and then try to send MIDI or OSC messages from your DAW to Sonic-Pi. These are tricky solutions to setup, but they might be the most efficient.
