  • Instructions for Midi Interface Roland Tr-808 Drum Machine
    INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIDI INTERFACE ROLAND TR-808 DRUM MACHINE USING THE MIDI INTERFACE Your TR808 drum is now equipped to send and receive MIDI information. When turned on the machine will function normally, sending out and receiving MIDI note & velocity information on the channels set in memory. The factory channel settings are: receive chan 10 omni off transmit chan 10 and Stop/start TX/RX enabled Clock information is always sent and Start/stop information is sent and received if enabled. (Not channel sensitive) YOU CAN RETURN TO THE FACTORY MIDI SETTINGS BY SWITCHING THE MACHINE ON WHILST HOLDING THE RED BUTTON PRESSED (hold for a couple of seconds) With the rear panel switch set to normal (up) the TR808 drum will run from its own internal clock and will send out MIDI timing information at a rate determined by the tempo control. With the rear panel switch in the down position however, it will run from MIDI sync at the rate set by the MIDI device connected. If no MIDI timing information ispresent then the TR808 drum will not run. Some drum machines/sequencers may not send start/stop codes, in this case pressing the start switch on the TR808, will make it wait until MIDI clock/sync is present. You can make the TR808 ignore start/stop codes by selecting it from the programming mode described in the next paragraph, when set to disable the TR808 will neither respond to, nor send start/stop codes - when enabled (the default condition) start/stop codes will be both sent and received.

  • Implementing DIN Sync / Sync24 / Roland Sync Properly
    Implementing DIN Sync / SYNC24 / Roland Sync Technical Report Maximilian Rest E-RM - Erfindungsbüro Rest & Maier [email protected] www.e-rm.de Berlin, October 2014 Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Playback Control 2 3 Start Lag Circumvention 2 4 Conclusion 4 Appendix 4 References 4 1 Introduction When I came across the task to implement a DIN Sync Master for the midiclock+ I couldn’t find any reliable source of information about the nescesary timings and pulse diagrams. The paper at hand summarizes my findings with a Roland TB-303, TR-606, TR-707 and TR-909 in the lab and should enable the reader to sync any DIN Sync device up to 300 BPM by following the instructions. Many Thanks to Alexander Kowalski for lending out his equipment and to the DIY- SYNTH list for suggestions. 1 Implementing DIN Sync / sync24 / Roland Sync 2 Playback Control Originally, playback control on a DIN Sync slave was pretty basic: you could only (Reset-)Start and Stop the machines. The service manual of the TR-808 [1] suggests to always toggle the clock signal with a duty cycle of 50% and (Reset-)Start/Stop playback with the start line. The drawback of this scheme is that it doesn’t enable the musician to pause and continue playback without a restart of the pattern. The approach presented here is to interrupt the generation of clock pulses to pause the sequencer and leave the start line unchanged in it’s high state. A signal implementation chart of all playback control functions can be seen in table 1.

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIDI INTERFACE ROLAND TR-808 DRUM MACHINE Your TR-808 drum machine is now equipped to send and receive MIDI information. When turned on the will function normally but will also send and receive MIDI note & velocity information on the channels set in memory. It will also send and receive MIDI clock information. The factory default settings are: Receive channel 10 omni off Transmit channel 10 Stop/start receive enabled MIDI receive in velocity mode You can return to the factory default settings at any time by turning the TR-808 on while holding the red push button pressed. Hold for a couple of seconds – then release. If the TR-808 is already playing from its internal clock, then all MIDI clock commands are ignored. If the TR-808 is stopped, then when a MIDI Start command** is received, the TR-808 will take its timing information from the MIDI clock source. If the start button on the TR-808 is then pressed, it will be ignored until a MIDI stop command has been received. ** (or SPP = zero + continue – see below) Many sequencers do not send a MIDI start command and instead send a Song Position Pointer zero followed by Continue message. This is recognised by the TR-808 as a MIDI start. Continue messages received at any other time will be ignored. If however you want Continue messages to be always treated as Start, this can be selected. You can make the TR-808 ignore start/stop/continue/clock commands by selecting it from the programming mode described in the next paragraph, when set to disable the TR-808 will not respond to start, stop, continue or clock commands, this is to enable the TR-808 to function as a sound module in systems where MIDI clock is being used to drive other devices.
