[sdiy] fed up making click tracks

[David Brown]

I wrote a program that's pretty close to this for my CVS module for 
somewhat the same reasons.  If you're handy with a soldering iron 
then it wouldn't be too tough to build your own module.  The CVS 
programs with Basic over RS-232 so there's no development 
environment.  It has enough ins and outs to do all your I/O.

A minimum configuration would have only a handful of parts:
AtomPro28 (you could do it with a AtomPro24 but I like the eeprom)
output protection - probably just a series resistor and clamping diodes
MIDI in - an opto coupler, two resistors, and a diode
RS-232 connector for programming
+5 volt power supply.

MIDI clock program here
http://modularsynthesis.com/programs/midiclock%20(rev0.0).djb.bas

This program uses my standard template so there's code in there for 
everything.  Just look at these routines:

loop: displays MIDI clock BPM
proc_midi: decodes the MIDI stream
time_clk: outputs the MIDI clock
start_cmd: outputs a start clock
cont_cmd: handles the continue after a start
stop_cmd: outputs a stop clock

You'd simply have to add divider code to the time_clk routine to 
handle all the outputs.

Just a thought ...
