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

[J. Larry Hendry]

My Kenton pro-2000 has DIN 24 sync output.  One pin of the connector is
assigned to start / stop.  That pin goes high (+5 volts) when it gets a
start and stays high until it gets a stop.  The stop causes it to go to 0
volts.  I have no sync stuff to report on and know little about it.  But, my
Kenton claims to sync Roland stuff.  Could the Linn simply be an inverted
voltage (+5 for stop and ground for start) ??

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,

din
