[sdiy] midi clock

[Rude 66]

aha.. that would explain some things. but would that also explain why it
behaves like that when i use only 1 909 midi output into a splitter? it's
basically 1 in, 2 out with only a 3 pin connection. there's no direct
contact between the 2 outs in the split box. how can either the linn or the
909 detect when i stick a  second midi connector in there?
the problem is the 909 is the only clock that &^%$ linn will sync to...

i don't know how happy i'd be messing inside my 909 though.. one of the
reasons i've stuck to toys and cheap machinery is the room to screw up..;-)

thanks for the info so far!
