Does your Din Sync device not have a stop button of its own? I do this 
sort of thing all the time with my electribes - I stop them manually at 
any point I like. Perhaps I select a new patch, mute some voices, 
whatever and then, when ready, I hit Run on the P3 which sends a Start 
at the beginning of the next global bar.

If you do need the P3 to send the stop command you *can* already do it - 
there's an aux event that gives you full control of MIDI 
start/stop/continue commands. This is a very cool way to send start/stop 
on, for example, alternate beats and "stagger" a drum machine in ways 
that I don't think can be matched by any other hardware sequencer (I 
could be wrong of course). You could use Knob mask events to "reveal" 
these MIDI clock aux events and so set up some complex performance 
things that really mess with your drum machine's mind. I must admit I've 
only used them for MIDI devices though and not Din sync stuff but the 
results can sound anything from constantly restarting the first beat to 
stepping the drum machine manually at half speed (using Stop/Continue) 
then suddenly allowing it to wake up properly. Lots of potential for fun.

Give it a try, could be what you need,

regards,
Paul
