Topic: Roland MSQ-700 syncing with LinnDrum ?

i recently purchased a MSQ-700 just for 60 euro i thought its a bargain, dunno how much they usally go for. I want to sequence my juno 60 with it.

My question ist can i sync a linndrum with it ? The Linndrum has tape sync, as far as i know the msq-700 can be synced external with this signal.

btw has someone a DCB Cable to sell ?

linndrum is 48ppqn. I'm not sure MSQ does that.

Re: Roland MSQ-700 syncing with LinnDrum ?

there are converters like this, probably a garfield or roland sbx can do this..

Re: Roland MSQ-700 syncing with LinnDrum ?

When I had a non-midi Linndrum I'd sync it with Ableton Live using a sync tone recorded from the machine's sync output, worked perfectly, tighter than midi!

The only downside is that you have to hit the start button on the Linn before starting your sequencer.

Re: Roland MSQ-700 syncing with LinnDrum ?

yep, thats another good trick!

Re: Roland MSQ-700 syncing with LinnDrum ?

yea, but the MSQ-700 doesnt send a trigger signal, it syncs via DINSync, a port which you find usally on Roland Drummachines 808,909,707,606....

Another option could be to DINSync the 606 and use the 606 trigger output to the LinnDrum.

Unfortunaly i haven´t got a 606.  sad

I think we're all familiar with dinsync here smile
I meant bypass the MSQ alltogether and just use audio from your computer.

The Tr-606 only outputs 16th notes max on its trigger, you're far from the 48ppqn needed.

Someone more technical than me could chime in but I think trigger pulses are not the same as tape sync (as used on the Linn)

Re: Roland MSQ-700 syncing with LinnDrum ?

but i need my msq, i dont sequence with the computer, to much latency.

Re: Roland MSQ-700 syncing with LinnDrum ?

Then get a Garfield Electronics converter (good luck finding one)
Or get your Linndrum upgraded to MIDI by Forat
Or just use the Linn as a master and ditch the MSQ for a CSQ

Re: Roland MSQ-700 syncing with LinnDrum ?

the msq probably can handle tapesync, otherwise there is a dinsync mod from acidlab for the linndrum.


thanks robots.
