[sdiy] MIDI commands to drive external clock steps..

[Jason Proctor]

In this situation you'd listen for the MIDI start message, then for
MIDI clock messages - which arrive at 24ppqn. (Some devices send the
clock even when they're not running.)

Then you'd apply the division you like, and convert the message to
whatever analogue pulse that your 960 clone is expecting. When the
MIDI stop message arrives.... stop :-)

FWIW, I use a Mutable Yarns MIDI->CV and a Doepfer A-160-2 clock
divider for this purpose. But that's Euro - IDK what format your 960
is?
