This is now solved. After doing some research on what MIDI messages 
there actually are, I figured it out. I think it's something like 
this:


[Song is playing.] If I press STOP first, and then PLAY, the Mono 
will send a 'MIDI Start' command to the slaves. If I instead first 
press PLAY (pause), then when I press PLAY again, our precious Mono 
will send a 'MIDI Continue' command.

This sounds pretty logical, doesn't it? But, to jump to an arbitrary 
position in the song, I need to send a 'Continue'. (Because 'MIDI 
Start' always starts at Song Position 0.) That is, I need to first 
PLAY/pause the song, then choose a row via UP/DOWN, acknowledge row 
by pressing YES, then press PLAY again.


I find this kind of, hmm, not too intuitive. Is this a work-around? 
If so, is there a 'real' solution?
