+ | ===== The Din Sync Standard ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | <note important> The x0xb0x uses a different pinout on its sync connector! Please see MidiAndSync for details </note> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The SYNC standard was developed by Roland as a way of syncronizing drum machines and sequencers. It has 2 main signals, "clock" and "star/stop". The signals are TTL compatible, so 0V is low, and +5V is high. It uses a cable like midi, but its pinout is different: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ Pin ^ Function ^ | ||
+ | | 1 | Start/Stop | | ||
+ | | 2 | GND | | ||
+ | | 3 | Clock | | ||
+ | | 4 | Unused | | ||
+ | | 5 | Unused | | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | If the "Start/stop" line is low, the device is stopped, or should be stoped. If it is high, then it should be started/running. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Clock signal is either 24 pulses per quarter note, or 48 pulses per quarter note. Most Roland gear is 24ppq, whereas most Korg gear is 48ppq. | ||
