i have a love/hate relationship with this fuckin thing. it's a dinosaur but it is the ONLY affordable portable multi track recording device that has a MIDI clock sync feature. If you use synths or drum machines or anything with MIDI and wish to go "DAWless" then the Fostex MR8 HD has a purpose. Otherwise it's a counter-intuitive piece of shit relative to modern multitrack recorders.
It does not have MIDI IN, just MIDI OUT. The only input that will receive a synthesizers output is 1 "Line" input on Fostex's Channel 1. All the other channels are Unbalanced inputs that do not work for Synths.
MIDI syncing where you are sending clock data to a triggerable sequence (like a sequence you save on a Keystep or a synth's internal sequencer) can only happen if you follow a VERY TRICKY AND FINICKY set of procedures on the Foestex. But it's far better than nothing and allows me to record anything away from a computer.
