Re: DD20 tap tempo input

[Dirk Wilbert <dwilbert@rhein-zeitung.de>]

Hello David,
this seems to be a good idea - i got an Anatek Pocket Sync, which was 
originally used to sync Sequencers to tape machines. Should there be 
some way for using such a sync signal for tap tempo? I think it's not 
that easy, as you would have to transform an audio signal into a 
"close-switch" (maybe using electronics and a fast relais).
If you find some "easy" way to do such thing, please let us know! I 
would really like to modify my dd-6 then...

...just finished modifiying my RC50 in order to achieve the ability to 
use a parallel remote switchboard (for a second player using the RC50 at 
the same time as me - which was quite easy compared to what you want to 
do).

What is an "arduino"?

Greetings from Germany,
Dirk
