- CONTROLS, INDICATORS & I/O-
The following descriptions detail all of the sliders, switches, LEDs (lights) and
I/O jacks on the CLOCKWORKS:
CH 1-4 DIVISOR Sliders & LEDS
Each channel has its own independent DIVISOR slider control. Set a given
channel’s clock divider by moving the center of its DIVISOR slider to the
number you wish to divide by. For example, if you want Channel 2 to divide
the master clock by 3, set the CH 2 DIVISOR to 3, centering the slider on the
mark for 3.
Above each DIVISOR slider is an LED. The LED blinks each time the channel
sends out its clock pulse.
CH 1-4 LEVEL Sliders
Each channel has its own independent output LEVEL control. The LEVEL
slider sets a given channel’s output pulse amplitude or level. The maximum
output pulse level is 10Vpp. The pulse waveform ranges from 0V to +10V, it
does not go below 0V. As you bring the LEVEL sliders down, the amplitude
decreases to 0V.
HOW TO SET THE LEVEL CONTROL:
Start with the LEVEL control at its bottom position. Move the LEVEL control
upwards while listening to or watching the slave device to which the channel
is connected. At lower LEVEL settings the slave device might not be triggered
at all or by only every other pulse from the Clockworks. Push the LEVEL
control up until each pulse from the Clockworks triggers the slave. Once you
reach this position, push LEVEL up a little bit more and then stop. The LEVEL
control is now set.
OUT 1 - OUT 4 Output Jacks
Each clock divider channel has its own independent output jack. CH 1
connects to OUT 1, CH 2 to OUT 2, etc. The level of the pulse at each output
jack is controlled by its channel’s LEVEL slider. These jacks are mono/TS ¼”
jacks; insert any standard patch or instrument cable into the jacks.
CLOCK TEMPO Slider
The TEMPO slider located in the CLOCK section of the Clockworks adjusts the
master tempo or speed of the internal clock generator. When the CLOCK
toggle switch is set to INT (for internal), the TEMPO slider sets the tempo
that all four clock channels follow. TEMPO slider range: in BPM: 50BPM
2,400BPM; in Hz: 0.85Hz - 40Hz.
CLOCK LEVEL Slider
The LEVEL slider located in the CLOCK section of the Clockworks adjusts the
output level of the internal master clock sent to the CLOCK IN/OUT jack. The
The Clockworks’ power jack is center positive, requiring
