  • Hi i was wondering if u could help me, I need to know how to sync a TB303 with a TR909 using "Deopfer MSY2" (using din sync leads) at the moment i have it setup like this...TR909 midi Sync In to--- MSY2 Sync, TB303 Sync In to---MSy2 2nd available Sync, midi out from PC (usingCubase Essential5) to--- MSY2 Midi In...

    I cant seem to have the tr909 & tb303 to stay in tempo sync, 1 or both the tb303 & tr909 keeps gradually fading out of sync, is anyone familiar with this kind of issue?

  • @Filthdrive

    Start putting outputs to inputs. instead of inputs to inputs, which never make sense.

    so for a instance. 909 midi-out > [MSY2 midi-in > MSY2 Sync-out] > TB303 Sync-in.

    Make sure the all the five pins are connected internal within the sync/midi-cable

  • which machine is the master? u say emage or image q... is that a sequencer?

  • @deepeightyeight

    lol. my bad. I was trying to say MSQ-700. :)

  • @maccagrabme the past is the past for a reason. I can't imagine how incredibly hard it would be to source parts for a 25-year old machine

  • Thanks alot !!!! was zeer hulpzaam toch weer wat anders als de 808 .

  • THANKS FOR tHISSSSSSSSSSSS , NICE VIDEO

  • my 909 keep stay in bank 1 and I cant change it and it lights on all drums.

    help me?

  • @MrLokification Sure we do. Including 40$ participation each, as proof of our need to get back TRs & TBs !

  • Thank you Sir for making this vid, Helped me big time!

  • I estimate that these would cost Roland no more than £250 to build, maybe less. I can't think of many synths or drum machines that haven't had a roland emulation built in since the late 80s. Demand for these products gets greater every year so why don't they see sense and remake them using analogue components? I suspect its because their new stuff would stop selling. Can you imagine the waiting list for a new Tr909 at £500 or even £1000? At least us ordinary folk could get a s/h one cheaper.
