syncing old drum machine to midi/sync24

[d2a]

hey - i've got a stix soundmaster programma st-305 analogue drum machine which i'm slowly bringing back to life. it has a simple but wonderfully tactile 16 step (max) sequencer with 8 patterns. it accepts a simple pulse as a sync signal - see attached gif for the waveform. my question is (apologies if already answered elsewhere) is there a simple little circuit for extracting a sync signal from midi and generating a corresponding pulse to trigger the machine. i think the trigger clock is extremely slow compared even to sync 24 - 4 clicks per beat, so at 100bpm the sync is going 400 clicks a minute.

if it would make the circuit simpler, i have a bunch of things outputting sync24, so if that could be used as the input instead, no problem.

thanks for any ideas!

Probably the easiest way to do it would be to get a blacet MIDI to Sequencer
Interface Chip - http://www.blacet.com/misc.html

That gives you a 24ppqn pulse.  Divide that by 24 and you have a one pulse per quarter note signal (that is what you are describing right?)  To get that you could use 2 4017's (div by 6 then div by 4).  http://www.doctronics.co.uk/images/4017_07.gif There are probably more elegant ways to pull this off, but you get the idea.
