Whatdo I need to make use of this - another bit of hardware?[running to get Syntauri manual...] Metatrak supports the Roland TR606 and TR808, Linn and Oberheim DMX. They are connected to the Apple via a special cable to the paddle ports. Unfortunately the Syntauri manual doesn't give a specific pinout, but this shouldn't be that hard to figure out....And the Passport MIDI card had a "drum sync in" RCA jack... Perhaps the later (MIDI) Syntauri used this input.Oooh. I bet that's a rare card, though.Rare is relative--there were quite a few of them made, and they show up several times a year on eBay.
I miss these things; I would greatly appreciate any pointers when they do show up so I know what I'm looking for - I'm writing a 4,000 word article on Alpha Syntauri for a UK music mag ;)
