Does anybody know of any good analog drum machines that have a din
(midi24) output out there?

Any advise would be great.

i'm guessing you mean drum machines that send din sync?

tr-606
tr-808

both also have trigger outs so you can use them with your modular.

(shameless plug: i also have a 606 for sale; email me offlist for  
details).

Not a drum machine but, the future retro Mobius is a sequencer with DIN sync, midi, and CV clock outs. What do you Sync about that?

To sync or not to sync

2009-04-21 by Gordon Van Huizen

I sync (ugh) that the inability to drive Suit's new time modules is  
just about the only thing that I don't like about my Schrittmacher.  
But it's a big thing!

The Roland TR-606 can still be bought relatively cheaply, especially when compared to the 808. The plus side is that it's small and compact, not to mention a hell of a lot of fun!

Howdy,

 The TR-909 has a "sync" output that pulses whatever you program the "wood block" sound to. I'll have to look and see if there is din. For sure there is DCB.

that's a trigger output (+5V i think?).

the 909 has din sync in but it doesn't output sync (if you have the  
older version firmware this is the only way you can get the 909 to  
slave to external gear; the midi sync on firmware < 1.4 is pretty  
broken).

i haven't even tested to see if MIDI sync on my 909 works right.

right now i'm using a x0xb0x as my master, but that's kind of  
expensive for just sync.

another drum machine that has DIN sync is the TR-707 or TR-727.  
however, trendy circuit benders have driven the price of those things  
through the roof.

when we started this, there was a guy selling MIDI-DIN sync  
convertors on ebay for like 50 bucks. he has FO'd since, however. if  
there was enough interest we could make something happen in the  
meantime before our master clock module is ready.
