DIN Sync.
DIN Sync. was a standard developed by Roland for synchronising drum machines and basslines before the advent of
MIDI. This feature on the DrumStation converts the incoming MIDI clock from your sequencer or sync box into the DIN
Sync. format allowing you to control the tempo of a unit like the original TB303 etc. with your MIDI equipment. It sends a 5v
pulse at a rate of 24ppqn (pulses per quarter note) to keep a slaved machine at the same tempo as your master clock.
To use this feature, simply connect a suitable lead between the DrumStation's output and the slave units DIN Sync input.
When the MIDI clock is running the slave unit will play it's current pattern or song at the same tempo.
