ANALOG CLOCK
OXI One has one Input and one Output clock ports. They allow you to interface with modular
synthesizers and pre-MIDI technology that was capable of clock synchronization (such as early drum
machines produced by Korg and Roland). OXI One is capable of both sending and receiving
synchronization signals.
Both input and output clock ports are TRS jacks. The clock signal is wired to the Tip and the
Start-Stop/Reset signal to the Ring of the jack connector.
The Start-Stop/Reset input and output signals can behave in two different ways according to the
Reset/Start-Stop IN/OUT setting in Config:
- OFF ignores the input reset and deactivates the output reset signals. When OXI One’s sync is
set to Clk, it will start running as soon as it receives clock pulses. You should set this option if
you are not using the Start-Stop/Reset signal (patching a mono TR cable for example).
- PULSE RESET: Both input and outputs will behave as RESET signals.
- Output: A short 4ms pulse is sent through the Reset out before the first clock out
pulse when OXI One starts or continues playing.
- Input: When OXI One’s synchronization is set to Clk and a reset pulse is received in
the Reset Input, OXI One will reset, this means reset the sequencers playheads.
- RUN-STOP. Other synths or drum machines expect a different kind of reset signal. The
run-stop or start-stop output is high when the OXI One is playing and low when stopped. On
the other hand, when Sync is set to Clk the OXI One will only play if the run-stop or start-stop
input signal is high and stop otherwise.
The Reset/Start-Stop Input is an analog signal: CV In. Its usage as an analog input is described in the
MOD CV IN section. You can use the Clock Input and the CV Input at the same time, but make sure
the Reset/Start-Stop IN/OUT setting is set to OFF to avoid undesired effects.
Analog Input is not currently supported by the Autosync feature.
