ess this button to reset the divider and
erefore any sequence that the divider
controlling (like in the patch shown to
e left). This is useful for reseting your
quence if it falls out of phase with
e down beat of the drum machine
quence.
CLK IN (clock in) socket
utput]
is socket simply passes along the
gnal plugged into the CLK IN jack.
is allows you to send this clock to
her destinations.
IPS for SLAVE
Try using irregular clocks to sync
the LFO. This is possible with drum
machines that allow single drum
triggers to be output or with a wide
range of trigger sequencers like the
Bastl KnitRider.
Patch the CLK IN socket to the LFO
FREEZE socket. Whenever the
FREEZE socket receives a positive
signal it will hold the LFO low. This
can be especially intersting if you
switch the LFO rate HIGH.
Adjusting the LFO rate (when
synced to an external clock) will
allow you to tune into various swing
and rate multiplication efects.
But in doing so it is common that
the sequence controlled by the divider
bits (which are clocked by the LFO) will
go out of phase with the down beat of
the drum machine sequence. Use the
reset button to bump your sequence
back into phase.

1 CLK OUT
(clock out) jack and switch
Connect the CLK OUT jack to the clock
input of any drum machine with a clock
input such as the Korg VolcaBeats or
Teenage Engineering PO12. The LFO sets
the clock speed. The CLK OUT switch
sets if the clock is divided by 2 or 32.
2 CLK OUT OVERRIDE
socket [input]
Bits patched to this socket override the
setting of the CLK OUT switch and are
routed directly to the CLK OUT jack.
This is useful if you wish to clock
external devices with a division other
than /2 or /32.
TIPS for MASTER
• Plug several bits from the divider
section into the clk out override
socket to get uneven clock patterns.
• You will often get the best results if
the CLK OUT switch is set to /2 when
the LFO rate is LOW and /64 when
the LFO rate is HIGH.
