CLK1
[3]
produces a 1/16th note clock signal, which is
generated either by internal (BPM / Tap Tempo) or external clock
sources (analogue clock / MIDI).
The BPM potentiometer
[A]
allows fast access to a broad range
of BPMs. To tap the tempo, hold the CLK2/EXT
button
[E]
and
tap in 4 quarter notes on the Play button
[G]
. Tap tempo
acquisition is indicated by a blinking EXT LED
[B]
.
External clock source synchronisation (indicated by the EXT
LED) is accessed by holding the CLK2/EXT
button
[E]
for 4
seconds. The module syncs to a 4 PPQN clock received in the
CLK IN input
[1]
or to a MIDI clock signal received in the MIDI IN
input
[2]
. The MIDI clock has priority over the analogue clock.

Transport & Reset
The Play
[G]
& Stop buttons
[F]
, as well as MIDI “play” and
“stop” messages, allow to start and interrupt the generated clock
signal. Besides, each of these actions generates a pulse at the
RST output
[4]
. When the Play button is pressed while the clock
is being generated or when a MIDI “pause” message is received,
the clock is paused without producing a reset pulse. By holding
the Stop button and pressing the Play button, the user can send
reset triggers while the clock is running.
