Doepfer A100 - DIN-Sync to Clock converter
Since many years I own a Doepfer A100 System (may be I am one of the ten first ten persons ever). I did some modifications and built some own modules. The description for these little projects shall be found here in near future. Today (January 2009) I start with a DIN_Sync-to-clock converter.
This converts the 24 beats per quarter clock from the DIN-Sync to a 1/16th Trigger clock suitable for the A-154/155 or any other analogue sequencer or rhythmmachine. It also converts the Start/Stop-Gate provided by the DIN-Sync into separate triggers for Start and Stop and also to a combined trigger (as in the Doepfer A165).
With the A154 you connect
clock-out -> Ext.Clock
start-out -> Ext.Start
stop-out -> Ext.Reset
The Ext.Stop at the A154 does not have to be wired, because the clock of the interface stops automatically.
The first pictures show the first prototype. Below are pictures of a ready made pcb. It is suited for a 8HP wide panel which has enough space for a real DIN-Socket. In the prototype I had to use an adaptinge cable.
