Having access to a service manual might help. If my memory serves me, DIN Sync is 24pps FSK. Ordering Roland manuals is simply a matter of phoning a voice mail box in LA and they give you all the details. I have at one point had TR707 as the master and the TR303 and an R-5 (via MIDI) all locked up to the 707. Thats about the best you can do without some software intervention. This forces the 707 to be in the middle of the universe, which is not always that musically practical! later,jeff From analogue-request@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Wed Feb 17 15:46:08 1993 Received: by quark.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (5.65/3.910213) id AA12974; Wed, 17 Feb 93 15:45:07 -0500 Errors-To: analogue-request@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Sender: analogue-request@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Received: from sunic.sunet.se by quark.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (5.65/3.910213) id AA12961; Wed, 17 Feb 93 15:45:04 -0500 Received: from Vaduz.DoCS.UU.SE by sunic.sunet.se (5.65c8/1.28) id AA12246; Wed, 17 Feb 1993 21:45:01 +0100 Received: by Vaduz.DoCS.UU.SE (Sun-4/20, SunOS 4.1.1) with sendmail 5.61-bind 1.5+ida/ICU/DoCS id AA19046; Wed, 17 Feb 93 21:44:59 +0100 Date: Wed, 17 Feb 93 21:44:59 +0100 From: Mikael Lundgren Message-Id: <9302172044.AA19046@Vaduz.DoCS.UU.SE> To: analogue@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu In-Reply-To: Ricard Wolf's message of Wed, 17 Feb 93 12:32:47 MET Subject: 808 Status: OR Sender: analogue-request@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu From: ricard@axis.se (Ricard Wolf) Date: Wed, 17 Feb 93 12:32:47 MET X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.0.1 12/13/89) > i'm having problems with the SYNC port on my 808.. when i switch it to the > IN position.. to receive sync from my 707.. it freezes up...and won't start.. You're not hooking them together with a MIDI cable, which might not have all the pins connected, are you? If you switch the sync switch to IN, then it will lock up if no sync signal comes in.
