If you use 16th notes, then it will trigger the arp as it’s played on the Juno-60 for example. When they are triggered, they send a pulse through the trigger out and into the synth that it’s connected to. What do I mean by patterns? On the TR-626 or TR-606 you have to program your triggers which are usually rimshots. If you add a 5-way splitter then you can sync an additional 5 synths using one of the TR-626 or TR-606 patterns. I can then insert another TR-626 that will work for an additional 4th trigger pattern. Plus I now have three trigger outs ( 1 on the TR-626 and 2 on the TR-606 ) for triggering synths with uniquely programmed patterns. When I start the Korg ESX-1, all is in PERFECT timing. The KMS-30 then syncs and converts the MIDI input to DIN Syn OUT and sends it to DIN SYNC IN on the TR-606. The KMS-30 is slaved to Roland TR-626 which in turn is slaved to my Korg ESX-1 as Master via midi. To rectify this problem I use the Korg KMS-30 which I found in Japan. The only problem is that there is no midi. The second reason is that it can act as a SLAVE and doesn’t have to be the master. First, it has two trigger outs which allow you to program two DIFFERENT custom patterns for your syth arp or sequencer. The Roland TR-606 is awesome as a trigger device because of two VERY IMPORTANT reasons. To do this I add a second Roland TR-626 and a Roland TR-606 with two pattern trigger outs. If you want to mix things up a bit, then you’ll need multiple patterns. The only issue is that you are using the same pattern on the TR-626. Using a 5-way splitter also synch 5 synths no problem at all. This works GREAT!! I cannot recommend enough the Roland-TR626 for MIDI and Pulse Trigger Synchronization. If I want to sync multiple synths I often use a Belkin 5-Way splitter cable connected from a Roland TR-626 which is then slaved to a Korg ESX-1 with Oberheim DMX samples for example. Why I wonder? Roland TR626 Drum Machineįirst I am chaining some drum machines to provide multiple trigger outs to create interesting patterns for use with the Roland JX-3P, Juno-60, Juno-6, Roland SH-101, Korg Poly-61, and Korg PolySix synthesizers. Amazing I didn’t think of that before, but to my defense, it’s clearly written on some sites that MIDI cables are not to be used for DIN Sync cabling. It was on a whim that I decided to plug in a basic old MIDI cable and suddenly everything worked perfectly. The fact is, the DIN Sync cables didn’t work at all, or at least the two I bought didn’t.
Perhaps this is not new to everyone, but I practically spent two weeks frustrated trying to get all my gear to work with two DIN Sync cables I purchased from a reputable guy on Ebay.
Also, contrary to what some people might say, I have found some MIDI cables to work perfectly fine as DIN Sync cables for my old Roland and Korg gear. The gist of this article is to basically say, watch out for those DIN Sync Cables as some will likely not work.
