start/stop was: Re: [sdiy] cheapo midi to din

[Rude 66]

can anyone tell me what exactly start/stop info is?  a pulse? i tried
getting the linn to sync again (yes, this is becoming a joke..) midi clock
to kms30, from there 48 ppq out from one pin to the linn sync in, and from
the start/stop pin of the din plug to the linn's start/stop input. both
ground wires go to pin 2 (the middle one). still with me?
it syncs allright. but start/stop are reversed.. start on the 909: nothing.
stop on the 909: linn starts. i like the effect, but it's not what i'm
after.
does anyone know those guys from dinsync.com? they announce a linn drum sync
converter on the site..

sure,
