5.3.1 three clock sources
The midi module has 3 clock sources: internal, external midi, and external gate.
The clock is used to clock the arpeggiator. Internal clock and external midi clock
output to the [clock i/o jack]. The clock source is selected using the edit mode."
1. Internal clock utilizes the clock button to modify the rate of the internal
clock. The internal clock is used to clock the arpeggiator and is also output to
the [clock i/o jack]. Tap the [clock button] to change the tempo of the midi
module. "
2. External midi clock responds to midi start/stop messages and midi tempo
from an external midi clock source. The external midi clock is used to clock the
arpeggiator and is also output to the [clock i/o jack]. In external midi clock
mode, the [clock button] acts as a clock divider cycling through five
available clock divisions."
3. External gate clock responds to gate signals patched into the [clock i/o
jack]. The external gate clock is used to clock the arpeggiator. With the
external gate clock source, the [clock button] cycles through six available
clock divisions.
5.3.2 selecting the active clock source
The clock source is selected in the edit mode. Enable edit mode by pressing
and holding the [edit button] down for 1 second. The [mono led], [arp led],
[gate led], and [clock led] will blink 3 times to indicate edit mode is enabled."
In edit mode, the [clock button] cycles through the three available clock sources.
Internal clock, external midi clock, external gate clock. The number of times the
[clock led] blinks identifies the selected clock source. One blink represents the
internal clock. Two blinks represents external midi clock. Three blinks represents
external gate clock. The active clock source is saved in memory and recalled
when the Lifeforms SV-1 module is powered on."
Disable edit mode by pressing and holding the [edit button] down for 1
second. The [mono led], [arp led], [gate led], and [clock led] will blink 3 times to
indicate edit mode is disabled.
