To clarify what has already been posted, the pins are as follows: pin 2 pin 5 pin 4 pin 3 pin 1 * * * * * (Excuse the drawing) This is looking at the rear view of the connector. The pins are basically what has been posted: pin # tr-808 tr-606/tb-303 cr-1000 1 start/stop start/stop start/stop 2 ground ground ground 3 tempo clock tempo clock tempo clock 4 reset tap not used 5 fill in not used not used The control voltage is 0 to +5 volts DC. This info. is from an old Roland Users Group magazine I have.

Help! OK, the Rat Shack part for a female chassis mounted 5-pin DIN is 274-005C. Buy a bunch of them, install them in some sort of box and wire them in parallel (ie. pin 1 on one goes to pin 1 on all the others). Looking at the socket from the bottom going clockwise left-to-right they are numbered 3, 5, 2, 4, 1. All x0xboxes use pins 1, 2 & 3. Some use others as well such that: 1 - Run/Stop 2 - Ground 3 - Clock 4 - Tap 5 - Continue For example a 606 & 303 use pin #4 (tap), but not #5. A 202, 909, & 707 use #5 (continue) but not # 4. The only expception to this is the TR-808, where: 1 - Start/Stop 2 - Ground 3 - Clock 4 - Reset & Start 5 - Fill In PEACE OUT :) MARK
