    Also, for DAW Sync, try Run/Stop All (James Cigler mode) described on Page 20. It is possible to tap the Leading Tempo by patching a Gate Output, for example, from the Pressure Points, to TEMPI’s Tempo Input and tapping the desired Tempo on the Pressure Points.

    Programming Variable Clocks: Human Programming Human Clock Programming combines Multiplier/Divisor and Phase Settings For HUMAN Programming: into one simple, tactile process. For Human Programming, patch the Leading Tempo (i.e. MULT of the clock patched to Tempo Input or any Channel set to 1:1 using Machine Multiplier or Divisor) so that the timing is audible.

    Variable Clock Output. It is possible to tap Channel Buttons1-6 simultaneously in order to Program several Channels at once. The TEMPI counts the taps and sets this number as the Divisor value for each Channel. If (32) taps are exceeded, the count stays at maximum number of (32) and the counting of subsequent taps is stopped.

  • Page 27: Select And Tempo Busses

    The Select Bus and Tempo Bus utilize the often-inactive CV and GATE Busses in the Eurorack system in order to allow remote (i.e. patch-less) control of State Selection and Tempo for TEMPI and other modules designed with this standard in mind. Any number of TEMPI on the same Bus Board can be controlled simultaneously by these signals, simplifying the process of macro-control over complex changes in a patch.

    •To Reset to State 1, patch a Gate to the State Select CV Input and set the Combo Pot/attenuator so at Gate High, TEMPI goes to the last State you would like to use (e.g. State 8). Next, patch a Clock or Gate to the State Select Gate Input and step through States 1 through 8.

  • Page 29: Patch Ideas

    Using TEMPI to drive Rene: Patch from two Channels of TEMPI’s output to Rene’s X-CLK and Y-CLK Inputs. Human Program one of the clocks to be a division of the other. Observe the Rene’s Cartesian behavior. Optionally, try patching the remaining clocks from the TEMPI to the Rene’s X-Mod and Y-Mod inputs and experiment with the various Gate Logic settings on the X-Fun and Y-Fun pages (see Rene Manual, Appendix D ).
  • Page 30 Gates driving the Leading Tempo change from half-time to 1:1 and back. (Recall: it takes two clock pulses in order for TEMPI to program a new Leading Tempo). To best hear this e ect, use one or more of the TEMPI’s Outputs to Strike a Low Pass Gate like the Optomix or LxD.
