02 AUTO START(-
On)
When this feature is on
, external Timing Sources (EXTERNAL CLOCK
. TAPE SYNC
or MIDI) will cause the OX to enter play mode automatically. Because the OX is always
looking for a clock signal in this mode
, any signal (even noise) that is present at the
CLOCK IN or FROM TAPE jacks wil place the DX into Play. This may cause occa-
sional false starts. However
, the OX wil not false start once the leader tone is detected
at the FROM TAPE input. When Auto Start is oft
. the OX wil not detect external signals
until you press PLAY. You can only Auto Start from Select Sequence or Select Song
modes.
If AUTO START is on
, pressing PLAY while stopped wil run the OX from the Internal
Clock. This makes it easy to switch back and forth from internal to external timing.
03 CLOCK OUT RATE
(24
48, 96)
This parameter sets the rate of the EXTERNAL CLOCK OUTPUT
, used for slaving
other equipment to the OX
, such as other Oberheim Drum Machines or Sequencers.
The numbers select the rate of the external clock (pulses per quarter note); set this to
96 for Oberheim equipment.
. NOTE: The Clock Out
Rate cannot be faster than the Clock In Rate. For example
, if,
the Timing Source is set to MIDI (which uses a clock rate of 24 pulses per quarter
note), the Clock Out Rate cannot be faster than 24.
04 SET PROGRAMMABLE CLICK
The Metronome Click can be set to click when one or several particular drum buttons
are pressed. This allows the click to be used as a programmable trigger output. Hold-
ing down any combination of drums first.
then pressing RECORD
wil cause a Click
output in play only when that combination of drums occurs together. The normal
steady metronome click wil still be given in record mode. The Click can be set to
normal (steady) by hitting RECORD
while holding ERASE.
05 SET DRUM OUTS
DRUM OUTS" act like mutes for the sound of each button. Hitting a drum button
while holding RECORD enables the output for that drum. Hitting a drum button while
holding ERASE disables that drum. Hitting RECORD while holding ERASE
enables all
drums.
Note that these drums can still be recorded ar:d erased: only the audio is
disabled.
06 SET TRIGGER IN
The External Trigger Input on the rear panel can be set to play any of the drum buttons
or a combination of buttons. To set which ones are to be triggered
, select this parame-
ter and hold the desired drum button or buttons
then trigger the input. The drums wil
play and the OX wil "
beep:' To remove the trigger setting, hold ERASE and then trig-
ger the input. For more information
