I have a Zillion and have synced it to Logic a few times without issue, so.....


You need to turn on and send Midi Clock using Logic's project Settings... Menu Bar > File > Project Settings > Synchronization > Midi tab


Turn on Midi Clock for Destination 1 and then select the midi interface and port via the drop down menu below...

On the Zillion, tap the Sync soft button and then set to external Sync


In the Sync mode you can set the Zillion to play by its internal clock, or sync to an external MIDI clock.


The top line of the display will indicate if sync is set to internal or external.


The bottom line of the display will indicate if just MIDI notes, or MIDI notes and MIDI clock will be transmitted from the Zillion’s MIDI output.


Use the +/- keys to choose one of the four possibilities.


When the Zillion is set to external sync, make sure your master MIDI output is connected to the MIDI IN of the Zillion. Starting and stopping playback of the external device acting as the master clock will then remotely control the start/stop playback of the Zillion as well as the tempo.
