 +===== The Din Sync Standard =====
 +
 +<note important>​ The x0xb0x uses a different pinout on its sync connector! ​ Please see MidiAndSync for details </​note>​
 +
 +The SYNC standard was developed by Roland as a way of syncronizing drum machines and sequencers. ​ It has 2 main signals, "​clock"​ and "​star/​stop"​. ​ The signals are TTL compatible, so 0V is low, and +5V is high.  It uses a cable like midi, but its pinout is different:
 +
 +^ Pin ^ Function ^
 +| 1   | Start/Stop |
 +| 2   | GND |
 +| 3   | Clock |
 +| 4   | Unused |
 +| 5   | Unused |
 +
 +
 +If the "​Start/​stop"​ line is low, the device is stopped, or should be stoped. ​ If it is high, then it should be started/​running.
 +
 +The Clock signal is either 24 pulses per quarter note, or 48 pulses per quarter note.  Most Roland gear is 24ppq, whereas most Korg gear is 48ppq.
