Yes, that's what I meant, was just aimlessly probing around with the
multimeter :-)

Pleased to report that it's now working fine, it seems I have a
complete inability to rotate objects through 180 degrees in my head,
and so wired up the wrong pins on the link cable. Always the simple
things...

Now have both sync and full midi working, although syncing to LSDJ
seems to only work in nanoloop mode for some reason. Probably more
likely that I've got the LEDs in the wrong order and think i'm in a
different mode. It works regardless.

Also noticed that when i cranked things up to silly-tempo(tm) it
seemed to crash my poor little breadboard, had to pull out the
battery, give it a second or 10 then start again..

I guess the moral of the story is don't try to sync to 350BPM :-)

Thanks a lot for the suggestions (and the design), sorry for being
such an idiot. Off to make some fun bleeps and contemplate soldering
it all onto stripboard..
