Output

Selects the Gate Expander output that will carry the MIDI signal.

Clock

If enabled, causes the plug-in to send MIDI timing clock messages, synced to the DAW’s
transport.

When Clock is enabled, MIDI clock is generated when the host DAW’s transport is run-
ning. The MIDI clock generation always begins at the start of a bar; if the host transport is
started in the middle of a bar, the plug-in waits for the next bar before starting the MIDI
clock.

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 MIDI clock, rela-
tive to the host’s transport. This can be used to compensate for any difference in the re-
sponse time of the hardware being synced.

Misc

The “Test” control causes the plug-in to emit various diagnostic signals. Us-
ers should not need to worry about this in normal use.

Output Indicators

The row of numbers just above the ‘Prefs’ button show the val-
ues currently being output on the 5 ES-4 output channels.
