    Eurorack style bus board, minding the polarity so that the RED stripe on the cable is oriented to the NEGATIVE 12 Volt line on both the module and the bus board. On the Make Noise 6U or 3U Busboard, the NEGATIVE 12 Volt line is indicated by the white stripe.

The <FLASHING> of the Channel BUTTON's LED changes speed to match your [TAPS] and a clock of that TEMPO is available at the respective CHannel OUTput.

  • Page 10: Leading Tempo

    Note: While externally clocking, when changing TEMPO from fast to slow, there will be some delay, as the TEMPI needs a minimum of 2 Clock pulses to measure the incoming Clock rate. For a stable CLock, once the Leading TEMPO is learned, unpatch the Clock from the external TEMPO INput. As such, to create clock jitter, pre-process your external Clock before it is patched to the External TEMPO INput.
  • Page 11 ProGraMming, patch the Leading TEMPO (i.e. MULT of the clock For HUMAN ProGraMming: patched to TEMPO INput or any CHannel TEMPI set to 1:1 using MACHINE MULTIPLIER or DIVISOR) so that the timing is audible, and ProGraM a Variable Clock by [TAPPING] the BUTTON(s)1-6 for...
  • Page 12 [TAP] BUTTON(s)1-6 simultaneously, in order to ProGraM several CHannels at once. The TEMPI counts the [TAPS] and sets this number as the DIVISOR value. If thirty-two [TAPS] are exceeded, the count stays at maximum number of thirty-two-- the counting of subsequent [TAPS] is stops with changes take PGM_A is [RELEASED].

  • Page 25 Clock from the TEMPO Bus to determine the Leading TEMPO. IT DOES NOT TRANSMIT messages. The Panel Controls for STATE and TEMPO are still useful when the TEMPI is set to FOLLOW. The STATE SELECT CV and GATE allow for o setting from and modulating around the STATE that is selected by the SELECT Bus. The TEMPO Bus may be completely overridden by patching a Clock to the External TEMPO INput, thus allowing for an independent Leading TEMPO.
  • Page 26 (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. It is worth noting, TEMPI only RECEIVES messages over the SELECT/TEMPO Buses.

    •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 (STATE 8, for example). Next, patch a Clock or Gate to the STATE SELECT GATE INput and step through STATES 1 through 8.
