Subject: Re: [motm] TB-303 with MOTM...

From: Mark <yahoogroups@...>

I have a couple of TB-303's. It uses Roland Sync24, commonly known
as DIN sync, which is 24ppqn. It has sync in, but not sync out, so
it cannot be used as a master (unless you put the cable in half-way
which is mechanically unreliable). So you need something that can
generate both DIN sync and a sequencer clock. In my set-up that
would either be a Kenton Pro-4 synced to MIDI F8, or a TR-808 with
one of the trigger outputs programmed as a sequencer clock. There
are a number of other devices that generate both DIN sync and clock
pulses. If you don't care about being able to slave to MIDI, the
least expensive option is probably a TR-707, which sells for around
$100 (it has MIDI out but not MIDI in).
