THE ARP CLOCK & SYNC 24 OUTPUTS
CLOCK PULSE - (arpeggio clock)
- this output provides a 5 volt clock pulse related to the incoming MIDI clock. The ratio of MIDI clocks
to arpeggio pulses can be adjusted - (see CLOCK PULSE DIVIDE).
A +5 volt level will be output on the first MIDI clock after a MIDI start (or continue if selected) is
received, and thereafter dependent upon the CLOCK PULSE DIVIDE ratio.
You may for example connect this to an input marked Ext. Clock In on an analogue drum machine or
sequencer. It could also be used to gate/trigger envelopes or Sample and Hold circuits in time with
MIDI clock.
SYNC 24 - (DIN 24 sync, used on SOME ROLAND equipment)
- this output provides clock and stop/start signals.
Pin 1 - Stop = 0 volts Start = +5 volts (or continue if selected)
Pin 3 - 5 volt pulses; 24 clocks per quarter note, the same as MIDI
Pin 2 - Ground
Pins 4 & 5 are not used.
Cable Connections
MIDI leads may not be suitable for connecting to the SYNC 24 socket as they require different pins
connected. Use a 5 pin DIN to 5 pin DIN audio lead available from Kenton (or a HI-FI shop).
Connect this output to the SYNC 24 input on a TR606/808, MC202, or TB303 to synchronize these
instruments` sequencers to MIDI clock.
EDITING THE PRO-2000
The PRO-2000 is very easy to use. It uses a standard system of editing. It has a clear and informative
2x16 LCD with backlight, INCREMENT, DECREMENT, SELECT and ENTER buttons.
To select the parameter you wish to edit, the parameter LED (the red light emitting diode), must be
lit. If it is not, press the SELECT button. You can now scroll through the parameters using the INC and
DEC buttons.
To edit a value, press the SELECT button again. The value LED will light up. Now by pressing the INC
and DEC buttons, the value can be edited.
To speed up editing - if you are holding the INC button and want to go faster, press the DEC button
too, this will step about twice as fast, similarly if you are holding the DEC button you can press INC to
go faster.
When you have edited parameters to your own specification, go to the “STORE to Mem#x” menu
option, where, by selecting which of seven locations you wish to use and pressing ENTER you can
save your set-up. The most recently LOADed or STOREd setup will be loaded next time you power-
up. You can get to the LOAD / STORE location quickl;y by holding the SEL button in for a couple of
seconds.
