3.2. "SYNC" CONNECTOR

The 5-pin "DIN SYNC" connector on the TR-808 rear panel is replaced with 7-pin one. Pins Nr.1
to 5 have the original functionality, new pins Nr. 6 and 7 are used for MIDI input. For the normal DIN-
SYNC operation use standard 5 pin cable, same as before MIDI kit installation. For the MIDI
communication (Sync switch in the middle position) please use special 7-pin MIDI cable/reduction
supplied with in the TR-808 MIDI kit package.
3.3. "START /STOP" BUTTON
The "START / STOP" button on the TR-808 panel has the same function as on original non-
retrofitted instrument. LED under the button indicates the MIDI mode ("SYNC" switch in the middle
position).
3.4. CONNECTION TO MIDI SYSTEM
It is necessary to use special MIDI cable (part of delivery) for connection of TR-808 to MIDI
system. For TR808's "SYNC" connector use the 7-pin connector side of the cable, for output from the
MIDI sequencer or MIDI master keyboard the standard 5-pin side of the cable.
For proper control of TR-808 via MIDI bus, "SYNC" switch on TR-808's rear panel must be in
central position and host MIDI system must be able to transmit MIDI Clock, Transport (Start, Stop,
Continue) and Note-On commands.
