I suspect you could drive a din sync beatbox or appegiator with digitally created dc pulses from the hot pin of a balanced audio output. This would be useful to many with a DAW. Anyone know the source/load impedance limits for interfacing with a din sync port? If so, please incorporate it into the article.
Sync24 vs Sync48 conversion confusion
[edit]"Roland DIN sync uses 24 pulses per crotchet (quarter note), hence the term 24ppqn. Korg equipment such as the DDM-110 drum machine uses an otherwise-identical system but at 48ppqn. If you plug a Roland TB-303 into a Korg DDM-110, the TB-303 will run at twice the normal speed. It is possible to overcome this with a simple adaptor."
What adaptor? It's not that simple. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wmattis (talk • contribs) 17:16, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
- "simple" is a relative thing, & has- I agree- been used carelessly here. it is a trivial matter to divide the frequency of the clock by two using a logic device like a 4013, but it isn't necessarily an easy thing for a novice to build such a divider.

Lot of text added by not native speaker
[edit]I added a lot of text to this article, but I am not a native english speaker. Please correct faults. If you disagree with the content itself please get in contact with me. Regards, fanwander. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fanwander (talk • contribs) 21:39, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Devices with DIN sync
[edit]A similar list was recently removed from MADI. We might consider doing the same here. See Talk:MADI#List_of_manufacturers. ~Kvng (talk) 15:25, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
- I have found such lists useful from time to time so consider the knowledge beneficial.
- The long term concern would be the size if all devices were listed. That said, it could be simplified somewhat by reducing entries by manufacturer consistency eg all Elektron devices listed have similar properties. 60.240.33.156 (talk) 04:14, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- If size becomes a problem, an easy solution is to WP:SPLIT the list to a standalone article. List of PTP implementations is an example where this happened. ~Kvng (talk) 17:12, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
regarding the device list
[edit]the list contains mostly devices out of production, because the DIN-Sync is an obsolete protocol no longer used by actual products. So I think there is no need to avoid commericial advantages Fanwander (talk) 10:56, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
- Fanwander, are you proposing we make some sort of change to DIN_sync#Devices_with_DIN_sync? ~Kvng (talk) 15:24, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Request: add Innerclock Systems devices to DIN sync device table
[edit] | The user below has a request that an edit be made to DIN sync. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 1084 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. |
I am the founder of Innerclock Systems and have a conflict of interest, so I am requesting rather than editing directly.
Please consider adding the following rows to the device table:
| Company | Model | In / Out | PPQN | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Innerclock Systems | Sync-Shift MK1 | In and out | 24 | DIN sync shifter. Discontinued |
| Innerclock Systems | Sync-Shift MKII | In and out | 24 | DIN sync and MIDI clock shifter; converts between the two |
| Innerclock Systems | Sync-Lock | Out only | Various | DAW-synchronised; 1x DIN sync, 1x MIDI clock out. Discontinued |
| Innerclock Systems | Sync-Gen II LE | Out only | Various | DAW-synchronised; 1x DIN sync, 1x MIDI clock out. Discontinued |
| Innerclock Systems | Sync-Gen II Pro | Out only (5x) | Various | DAW-synchronised. Discontinued |
| Innerclock Systems | Sync-Gen 3LX | Out only (3x) | Various | DAW-synchronised |
| Innerclock Systems | Multi-Split | In and out | Any | DIN sync mult; 1x in, 7x powered out |
| Innerclock Systems | GridLock II | Out only (10x) | Various | DAW-synchronised MIDI interface; rate set per port |
On the Sync-Lock and Sync-Gen units, DIN sync rate is 24 PPQN by default, with divisions and multiples set via the plug-in.
Also suggest adding Innerclock Systems Sync-Lock, Sync-Gen (all variants) and GridLock II to the list of devices that can act as a master clock providing DIN sync.
