Cool :)   I would never touch something like this, cuz I'm worthless as
far as electronics, but I have a friend named Tony...

And I have a Freq Div module that would love to be involved.  And that
could run the Binary Zone...  woo hoo!

And yes, I pondered the idea of making MIDI and DIN sync from a master
clock, but it gets messy since you need 6 (equally spaced in time) MIDI
clock ticks for every square pulse.  You could calculate it, but you'd
have to do it every pulse to handle tempo changes...  the Noise Ring mod
sounds far easier.

Plus I do a lot of delays synced to tempo, and with the Mobius as a
master I can easily set the exact tempo that I want.

This list is great...

There is a silkscreen layout in the manual. If you feel comfortable 
working with surface mount electronics, you can put a switch in 
series with D6. With D6 disconnected, you can use the "Clock 
Out" jack as a "Clock In" for a 0 to 10 volt square wave. The 
pattern advances on the raising edge.

The "Master Clock" program I wrote for the PSIM was intended to 
provide MIDI and DIN clock out using the Noise Ring as the 
master. But I never figured out how to use the timer interupts to 
measure the tempo of the square wave from the Noise Ring.
