Here's an imperfect solution that avoids the expense of the kits and custom shops:
Connect your MIDI Out to the MIDI In on the Doepfer MSY-2 (that's what I'm using, maybe you've got a similar device).
Connect the Clock Out from the MSY to the TS-1 Input on the CR.
Make sure that DIP 4 on the MSY is in the OPEN position - all the other DIPs are tilted toward their respective number labels. Apparently, this little collection of switches forms a clock divider.
Start your MIDI source. Start the CR. Or vice versa. This is the one flaw of this set up - it does not provide Start and Stop pulses.
The CR should follow changes in the bpm of your MIDI source. At least it followed my twiddling the tempo on the DR-660.
Hope this helps someone somewhere sometime.
NEXT: how to program the CR's enormous four pattern memory without having to find a TS-1 or WS-1 switch (good luck). When I get to it...
