  • Page 3 Description Introducing glōc, a clock generator and processor. Capable of turning a single internal/external clock input into a stream of related clock sources. Predictable division/multiplication, complex trigger/gate sequences via probabilistic masking - or any combination of both across each of its 7 clock pulse outputs.

  • Page 4: Installation

    Installation 1. Confirm that the Eurorack synthesizer system is powered off. 2. Locate 4 HP of space in your Eurorack synthesizer case. 3. Connect the 10 pin side of the IDC power cable to the 2x5 pin header on the back of the module, confirming that the red stripe on the power cable is connected to -12V.

  • Page 6 Spread Control Spread Knob: Spread Knob applies values from a specified division/multiplication array to each of the seven Clock Pulse Outputs. • With the Spread Knob centred each Clock Pulse Output will produce the following values from the division/multiplication array, based on the current tempo (either via external clock or taps issued at the Tap Tempo...
  • Page 7 • Turning the Spread Knob fully left results in all Clock Pulse Outputs producing quarter notes at the base clock rate set by an external clock source or the Tap Tempo Button. • Turning the Spread Knob fully right results in the Clock Pulse Outputs producing clock pulses with the maximum spread of longest...

  • Page 9 • A density mask sequence is preserved for as long as the Probability Knob and/or Probability CV Input is unchanged. • A new sequence can be generated when changes are made to Probability Knob Probability the position of the or value at the Input.
  • Page 10 Clock Clock Input (CLK): Clock Input is a trigger input for setting the precise tempo of glōc. If the time between successive clock signals is variable, glōc will smoothly increase or decrease to new values, providing musical transitions between tempos. σ...
  • Page 11 PWM Knob: PWM Knob controls the pulse width of all the Clock Pulse Outputs, globally. • Turning the PWM Knob anticlockwise will decrease the pulse width of the pulses from the Clock Pulse Outputs. • PWM Knob Turning the clockwise will increase the pulse width of the Clock Pulse Outputs.

  • Page 12: Programming Modes

    Programming Modes The glōc has three main modes selected by the position of the Mode Toggle. Lock Programming Mode (Toggle Left): Mode Toggle With the Spread set to the left position, users can set and store the Control Probability Control and the values applied to individual Clock Pulse...
  • Page 13 Live Mode (Toggle Right): With the Mode toggle set to the right position, all locked states applied to the Clock Pulse Outputs are ignored, reverting back to the current settings defined by the Spread Knob/CV Input Probability Knob/ Input. Here the Mode Toggle can become a performative tool to quickly switch between locked grooves...

  • Page 14: Saving A Configuration

    Saving a Configuration glōc is capable of saving its current tempo as well as the locked/ unlocked states of the Clock Pulse Outputs, to be preserved through power cycles. To do so, ensure that the Mode Toggle is in either Regular Mode or Live Mode, and press and hold the Tap Tempo...
