DINsync / help needed !

[electricbeats]

We are trying to sync a LINN drum with two roland TR606, we already got an idea for conversion but to be sure I'd need an exact reference for the DIN sync format, including the used pins on the DIN plug...

any ideas where to get that?

It's 24 PPQN, and the pinout is:

1 Run/Stop
2 GND
3 24ppqn sync signal
5 continue

Thats it basically. I seem to have a hunch that the Linndrum seem to use a 48 PPQN sync signal, so it will be easier to use that as a master, I guess, and use a flip-flop to divide the sync. I could be wrong, of course, never had a Linndrum...

However, one other possible way is to shell out with $75 to these guys:

and get a DIN Sync mod for the linndrum.

thanks a lot, will try it
the flipflop is a nice idea too...
