What is the best way to sync these 3 synthesizers ?

I have the following:

Bass station 2 Roland TR-8S Minilouge XD

What is the best way to sync these synths to keep tempo and sequencers/arp in time ? I am wanting to work on a synthwave track using these devices so I am attempting to align a few continuous patterns.

I am used to syncing Arturia devices and I believe I got myself in over my head with this configuration.

Do any of those have a midi THRU port on the rear?

I do not think the bass station 2 has thru. The minilouge xd does not either. Do you suggest a midi thru box ? I have never used one. I also have a microfreak I would like to eventually sync in the mix as well.

Each synth has a mini out and in. I do not believe any of them serve as a midi thru.

Would be a good time to snag one, going to need it to get all of these on the same clock
