CLOCKWORKS
Rhythm Generator / Synthesizer
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix CLOCKWORKS!
The CLOCKWORKS is perfect as a master clock for sequencers and drum
machines as well as for triggering electronic percussion, classic EHX drum
synths such as the Crash Pad or any other electronic device that can be
triggered by pulses. Best of all, it is a faithful reissue of the much sought-
after classic first released by Electro-Harmonix in 1980.
CLOCKWORKS does not create sound on its own but instead generates
pulses to trigger other devices. The pulse trigger can set the tempo for a
drum machine or sequencer such as an EHX 8 Step. CLOCKWORKS' pulses
might directly play a device by triggering a sound or note in the external
device. The great thing about the CLOCKWORKS is you have four separate
clock channels so you can connect four devices which will all play
rhythmically with each other.
The CLOCKWORKS may look complicated but what it does is actually pretty
simple: it takes a master clock and divides down its frequency by a whole
number between 1 and 8, outputting a pulse at the new frequency created
by the divider. There are 4 clock dividers or channels, each driven from the
same master clock, so creating polyrhythms is fun and easy! Each channel
has its own clock divider control, output level control and output jack. The
master clock can be generated internally by the CLOCKWORKS or may come
from an outside source. Although the CLOCKWORKS looks very much like a
digital product, it is actually fully analog, not that there is anything wrong
with digital products.
WARNING: Your CLOCKWORKS comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix
18VDC-500mA power supply. The CLOCKWORKS requires up to 300mA at
18VDC with a center POSITIVE plug. The CLOCKWORKS does not take
batteries. Using the wrong adapter/power supply may damage your unit and
void the warranty.
