[sdiy] Dinsync.com ASEQ1 Sequencer anyone?

[Rude 66]

and i thought it was me.. same here with a sync box for the linn drum.
running only from the 909, fine. anything else, computer, other hardware
sequencers, it starts too late. and yup, i was told it was normal too. i
ended up selling linn plus box for an 808. i was curious about the inside
too, but these things are closed in such a way it seems only rough violense
will open it up.
my question was always: 'what does the 909 have that it works with that, and
not with anything else?'
