Similarly, MIDI Clock Tx and Rx are controlled by the blue-lit pads at the right-hand end of the
bottom grid row. Note that these buttons also effectively control selection of the analogue clock
input. If Clock Tx is on, Circuit Mono Station is the clock master and its internal clock will be
available as MIDI Clock at the rear panel USB and
MIDI OUT
connectors, and also in analogue
form at the
CLOCK OUT
connector. If Clock Rx is on, Circuit Mono Station becomes a clock
slave, and will use an externally applied clock according to the following hierarchy:
PRIORITY
CLOCK
SOURCE
NOTES
1
Analogue
Analogue always has priority if present
2=
USB MIDI
If MIDI Clock is present at both connectors,
Circuit Mono Station will use the one it detects first
2=
MIDI IN (DIN)
If a clock signal cannot be detected at any of the external inputs, Circuit Mono Station will use
its internal clock.
MIDI Channel
The two upper rows of the grid are used to select the MIDI channels in use. The 16 pads simply
correspond to MIDI Channels 1 to 16. You can transmit and receive MIDI Note data for the
notes forming Oscillator 1’s Pattern independently from those for Oscillator 2. The pad colours
reflect the selected Oscillator (via the Osc buttons
5
).
The pad for the currently active MIDI channel is brightly lit, while the others will be either dimly
lit in the same colour or dimly lit red. There will always be two pads lit in red: one will be Pad 16,
because MIDI Channel 16 is reserved for MIDI Tx/Rx of global data and is not available for Note
information, and one other MIDI channel will always be assigned to the other Oscillator.
Default Settings are MIDI Channel 1 for Osc 1 and Channel 2 for Osc 2. To select a different
Channel, simply press the appropriate pad.
Analogue Clock Rates
Circuit Mono Station outputs a continuous analogue clock from the rear panel
CLOCK OUT
connector
4
at an amplitude of 5 V. The frequency of this clock is related to the tempo clock
(internal or external). The output clock rate is set with the first five buttons on the third row
of the grid (Pad Nos. 17-21). You can select the rate to be 1, 2, 4, 8 or 24 ppqn (pulse per
quarter note) by pressing the appropriate pad. The default value is 2 ppqn. The following table
summarises the settings:
Pad Analogue clock rate
17
1 ppqn
18
2 ppqn
19
4 ppqn
20
8 ppqn
21
24 ppqn
Note that Swing (if set to something other than 50%) is not applied to the
analogue clock output.
