Divisor
However the number of pulses per quarter note is specified, the ‘Divisor’ control allows
the rate to be halved, quartered etc.
1st Delay
If enabled, causes the first clock pulse after transport start to be delayed slightly. This is
required for accurate sync with certain drum machines (which require the first clock to ar-
rive slightly after the run signal goes high, so it can be reliably detected), and is recom-
mended to always be turned on when the plug-in is being used to generate actual DIN
sync, rather than general purpose clocks.
Outputs
Each output (clock/run) has three controls.
The first sets which plug-in output will carry the signal in question, or “Off” if that signal
is not required. Unless in ES-4 Mode (see below), the valid settings are “Output 1” or
“Output 2”, for the left and right channels of the plug-in’s stereo output respectively. In
ES-4 Mode, any of the ES-4’s outputs or any gate output of attached ES-4 Gate Expanders
can be selected.
The other two output controls set the output levels used for low and high logic states.
If using the plug-in to generate DIN sync from an Expert Sleepers ES-3, setting the ‘High’
controls to 0.5 will generate approximately +5V, which is the nominal level of a DIN sync
clock or run/stop signal. Similarly if using outputs 3, 4 or 5 of an ES-4, if those outputs are
in their default unipolar configuration.
Swing
These controls allow you to add ‘shuffle’ or ‘swing’ timing to the clock output.
Swing has two controls. The knob sets the amount of swing, in percent. 50% means no
swing (the middle sixteenth note is 50% of the way between the neighbouring notes, as
normal). Higher values of swing make the middle note later; lower values make it earlier.
At 100%, the middle note is right on top of the following note.
The dropdown menu chooses between sixteenth and eighth note swing.
Offset
The Offset control applies a small delay or advance in the timing of the clocks, relative to
the host’s transport. This can be used to compensate for any difference in the response
time of the hardware being synced.
