3.1. Voltage Controlled Clock Generator (Clock)
Use this clock when you want to run through the steps automatically. Clockspeed is controlled by voltage, so you
can use Channel-C to vary the step spacing or any other source to control the overall speed.
1 Clock speed: Use this knob to adjust the basic speed of the sequence when you advance the steps
automatically. A flashing LED indicates the basic click rate (in both the "run" and "stop" state.)
3.2. External Clock Speed Control
2 Linear In ( 0 ~ +5V ): Use this INPUT jack when you want linear variation of the speed set by the Clock
speed knob.
3 x 2-volt ( 0 ~ +5V ): Use this INPUT jack when you want to speed up the clock speed. A 1V input doubles
the speed; 2V gives 4 times the speed, 3V gives 8 times the speed so forth. In other words, the clock speed
doubles for each 1V increase. This means that the time for each step is halved (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc.) for each 1V
increase in input.
4 / 2-volt ( 0 ~ +5V ): This INPUT jack is used when you want to slow down the clock speed by 1/2 for each
1V in the input. This means that the step time will double for each 1V increase.
3.3. Start/Stop Step Control
5 Start/Stop Button: Use this button to start and stop automatic step control via the clock.
6 Step Button: Press for manual step advance. The sequence advances 1-step each time you press the button.
3.4. External Switch Control
7 Use this INPUT jack when you want to use an external trigger or foot switch to advance one step at a time.
8 Use this INPUT jack when you want to start or stop a clock-controlled automatic sequence by means of an
external trigger or foot switch.
