Cirklon Sequencer User Manual
There are three possible settings ā off, on, and on/thru
When real-time record is active, the normal soft-thru settings for a record-enabled port do not
apply.
Instead, the mthru option on the real-time record menu controls the passing of any messages.
To allow soft-thru while recording, ports must have the on/thru option set here.
mclk send
This option configures out-going MIDI clock.
MIDI clock can be sent whether Cirklon is acting as tempo master, or slaved to another
device.
There are a number of options for clock transmission to support manual pausing and re-
synchronisation of slaved devices using the transport keys.
The options are:
off - MIDI clock is not sent on this port
norml - standard MIDI clock is sent.
tempo - only MIDI clock tempo ticks are sent, without START or STOP messages. This
is useful for devices such as effects processors with a MIDI clock sync function.
A further three options, rsyn1, rsyn2 and rsyn3, provide various re-synchronisation effects for
slaved devices while Cirklon is already running.
These effects are triggered using the RUN key (labelled - ), or a combination of SHIFT
and RUN.
For all three options, pressing RUN will cause a MIDI START message to be sent at the
beginning of the next bar.
The effect this has on slaved devices will depend on whether that device is already running or
not.
For a device that can be manually stopped, pressing play allows it to be re-started in sync
with Cirklon. This is especially useful for machines like the Roland TR909, which must be
stopped to switch between play and edit modes. You can manually stop the 909 with its
STOP key, switch between play/edit, then re-start it in sync from Cirklon without having to
restart everything.
