Synchronize Playback With A Clock - 1010music Blackbox User Manual

2. Set the following values for the pad parameters:
Parameter
LaunchMode
Loop Mode
Slice
MIDI
Slice Seq
3. Connect a MIDI device for input that uses the MIDI Channel you selected for the MIDI parameter. Play MIDI note 36
(usually C2). You will hear that slice 1 is played.
4. Play MIDI Note 39 and slice 4 will be played. MIDI Notes 36 and up are now mapped to Slices 1 and up for
playback.
The steps above show a simple example of using MIDI alone to trigger different slices within one pad. You can use this with
Loop Mode ON with Launch Modes of Gate or Toggle to achieve different effects.

Synchronize Playback with a Clock

There are three different musical clocks that you can use with blackbox:
Name
Clock In
MIDI Input
Blackbox Internal
Clock
Blackbox displays the current clock time in the top left corner of most screens in the format <measure>: <beat>. If more than
one clock input is available, the highest priority clock signal (lowest priority number) will be used. Blackbox can delay the
timing of the playback of a clip pad to synchronize it with a specified unit of musical clock time.
To synchronize the playback of clip pads with the clock, configure a pad in Clip Mode and set the value for Quant to
something other than None. Blackbox only synchronizes pads with a Pad Mode of Clip, and only when Quant is set to
something other than None, such as Quant: 1 bar. Also, in order for blackbox to quantize the clip, the clock must be

Description
Blackbox gets a Clock signal from an input to the Clock In jack on the
back of the case. Blackbox expects a clock pulse signal with 4 pulses per
quarter (PPQs), or a pulse per 16
When a MIDI signal is connected to the Device USB jack or the MIDI In
TRS jack on the back of the case, blackbox will follow MIDI Start, Stop
and Clock messages.
When no other clock input is provided, blackbox will use its own internal
clock. Set the BPM on the Song screen to adjust the clock speed.

Explanation
This will cause the WAV slice to play from beginning to end
when a trigger is received. Other values will work, but let's
use this for the example.
We will turn off looping for this example.
This doesn't impact how the MIDI device or Keys screen plays
the slices.
We want to see the difference between the default MIDI
behavior on the GlobalMIDI Channel and using MIDI to
trigger slices, so we need to use a separate channel. MIDI
notes received on the channel you select here will choose a
slice to play.
We will not use the Slice Sequencer in this example.
