Tiptop Trigger Riot - Manual (Page 14)

Input/Output:
CLOCK IN: Insert a 0-5V trigger or gate source to drive the Trigger Riot when the
external clock is selected by holding the Start/Stop button. The rate for the incom-
ing clock signal can be selected by the (‘DIN’) function. The two rates are 1/16th
notes (‘16th’) or 24 PPQ DIN Sync (‘DIN’) based on the Roland specification.
CLOCK OUT: Outputs each clock based on the BPM and Clock setting. The two
rates are 1/16th notes (‘16th’) or 24 PPQ DAW (’DAW’) or DIN Sync (‘DIN’) based
on the Roland specification and identical to what is set as Clock In.
RESET IN: Resets the internal count to the Cycle Start.
RESET OUT: Triggered when the internal count is reset either by the Cycle setting
or by an external trigger.
OUTS: 0-5V trigger/gate outputs.
NOTES ABOUT CLOCKS:
16TH: This clock is the most common among analog sequencers. A clock is sent
or received every 1/16th note. Reset In/Out is a single pulse for resetting the
count.
DIN: DIN Sync (Sync 24) is only intended to sync with vintage Roland TR series
devices. The clock runs at 24 PPQN (6x faster than 16th) and the Reset In/Out
carries the Run signal. Run goes high on playback and low when stopped. The
Riot uses delays to mimic the timing behavior of the old Roland devices and will
not tightly sync with modern devices claiming to use ‘DIN Sync’.
DAW: This is a 24 PPQN signal like DIN only without delays and a standard Reset
pulse. Use this clock with Expert Sleepers or the pulse files in the link below to
sync the Riot to a DAW with sample accuracy.

CR: A type of SyncBus that ignores the Preset data which allows the Riot and Cir-
cadian Rhythms to share a clock, but run internal loops.
