External Clock Sync - JMK CLOCKstep:MULTI Manual

CLOCKstep:MULTI

External Clock Sync

There are two methods where CLOCKstep:MULTI can follow the clock sent by
another source:
External MIDI Clock
'Sample Accurate' Audio Clock
In either case, external clock is detected automa cally by CLOCKstep:MULTI. As
long as the internal clock is not already running, then external clock will
automa cally take precedence when detected.
When CLOCKstep:MULTI is running under an
external clock, the Clock/Stop bu on (

CLOCKstep:MULTI is using an external clock.
Also, while running under external clock, the Tempo
bu on has no func on.
Apart from those two items, the rest of the
opera ons in CS:M are virtually the same.
External MIDI Clock
Using an external MIDI Clock is very simple. If MIDI Clock messages are
detected on either the MIDI DIN or MIDI USB connec ons while
CLOCKstep:MULTI is stopped, then the behavior will be as if the user pressed

The Click Audio will begin and the Trigger Sync outputs will ac vate.
CLOCKstep:MULTI will simply forward the MIDI Clock messages it is receiving
and will suppress sending any if its own MIDI Clock messages.
Special Note: MIDI Clock over DIN Connec on is preferable to MIDI Clock over
USB.

Sample Accurate Audio Clock
The Line Audio Input of CLOCKstep:MULTI can receive short pulses of audio that
will serve as a clock signal. The rate of the pulses should always equate to 24
PPQN (64th Note Triplets) at the desired tempo.
This is normally used for syncing external hardware to a DAW as ght as
possible.
