EML 400 sequencer in the midi world

MIDI clock = 24 pulses per quater.. so if a drum sound etc triggs off the 
midi clock pulse, when 24 such events have occoured, the midi dev will have 
advanced 1/4 note thru its sequence.. getting the midi dev to step to the 
next actual program note on each trig would be very tricky, but just to send 
clock pulse on trig should be easy - esp if you dont want to send any otrher 
midi codes - the clock code = 1111110000 [incl start+ end bit] - which in 
effect is a 128 us low pulse - easy to produce..
