Hey,
I'm thinking of getting a Machinedrum and I'm curious about hooking 
it to my Moogerfoogers.  I know I'll need a midi/cv converter (I'm 
thinking the Doepfer MCV4) and my question is:  I don't know shit 
about midi.  OK that's not a question, what kinds of signals does MD 
send that would be useful for manipulating analogue effects through 
cv?  Can it send rhythmic signals synced to it's bpm?  What about 
midi clock?

Furthermore can anyone recommend a good source for learning about 
MIDI?  Book, website, whatever?
Thanks for yr help,
Rafael

midi for technophobes is a good book---oh and the manual. the md has 
a midi engine just like the trx engine, or any other drum synth 
except that it sends midi only.
