Hi Dave and others, Thanks for the replies on my 'debounce'problem. I thouht I should do something like that but I didn't knew what. No I have a start point, and I'm sure I'll find the right way to solve the problem. I'm not much of a technician and I don't understand anything of CPU's and stuff like that, but I'm quite handy and I got a technician friend who learned me soldering, etching PCB's and reading cirquits etc. With him I builded a clock for syncing my sh101, ms20 and rythmboxes to dinsync. I find it really stupid that most of my midi-equipment can't stop and start independent when it opperates as a slave device. I only want that the 'beat' is in sync and not the start/stop. I don't know how to program a CPU for doing such thing, but I know how to do it with dinsync. And Colin designed a great midi to DINsync to midi device wich I wanna use for the Master clock machine. I'm not exactly sure how the machine is going to work, I want to order the CPU experimental kit for maybe I'll undestand something of it. But for the 'turntable-feeling' the friend of mine came with a very good solution he saw somewere, using a real turntable. I think it's quite simple and I'm going to try it soon. Using a disk/record with white and black stripes/blocks, from centre to outside. Then hanging a photodiode above the record with some cirquitery witch generates a clock pulse, when the disk is turning. From that clock pulse I can generate DINsync, and so midiclock. So with such a system you should be able to manege the main clock with your turntable. Of course you can't reverse your clock, but push and pull your clock will be very simple. I'll start experimenting soon. By the way, I'm still waitng for my PLED module so nothing to report yet. Cheers, Roel
