When you switch to MIDI clock, the headaches begin. I haven't tried an MSQ w/ any sequencer besides Cubase, so I don't know where the problem is. I suspect it has something to do w/ how the MSQ interprets MIDI Stop & controls the DIN Sync lines. The Doepfer may have a similiar problem w/ setting the Sync control lines the way the 808 wants. >When I explored the roland sync style I found it's a simple gate that >gives that start signal.

Tell me this - when the sequencer stops, does the 808 show you the Pattern# or the Trigger Beats in the current pattern on the LEDs? It should show the Pattern#. >> I think I like the programming interface on the 606 better than any >> other drum machine. > >Aggreed. Especially the simple design of play and write.

That's the same reason I picked the 606 over the 909 - I like knobs. 808OUT What's "CIP 92" about, anyway?
