Description

A 6 HP clock source, the first version of Shakmat's Clock O'Pawn (discontinued): an internal clock set by its BPM knob or tapped in, or synchronised to an analogue or MIDI clock, with a transport section that starts, pauses, stops and resets the instruments it drives, and a swing up to a triplet feel.

Key features

  • CLK 1: a 1/16th note clock, from the BPM knob, tap tempo, or the CLK IN (4 PPQN) or MIDI IN (TRS) clocks
  • Play, pause and stop, from the buttons or MIDI; a pulse at RST on each start and stop
  • SWING: from straight to a triplet clock fully clockwise
  • CLK 2: a second clock that ignores the swing, the transport, or both
  • TRS MIDI type A or B, set by two jumpers at the back; inputs and outputs 0 to 5 V
