Cirklon Sequencer User Manual
By pressing SHIFT + RUN together, further effects are possible, as follows:
rsyn1 - MIDI clock will be stopped just before the end of the current bar, then restart
at the beginning of the following bar. This is useful for slaves which have somehow got out
of step with Cirklon. For example, if you are using odd-length patterns on a TB303.
rsyn2 - MIDI clock will be stopped immediately SHIFT + RUN is pressed. Clock will
restart at the beginning of the following bar. This allows, for example, a slaved drum
machine to be dropped out for part of a bar, then brought back on the next.
rsyn3 - MIDI clock will not start when Cirklon is first started. You need to press RUN,
or SHIFT + RUN once more after starting, to start slaved devices. Further presses of RUN /
SHIFT + RUN behave as for rsyn1
MIDI Clock Reception
There is no setting to enable MIDI clock reception for a MIDI input port, as it is handled
automatically.
If Cirklon is stopped, and a MIDI clock START message is received at any input port, Cirklon
will switch to MIDI clock slave mode and start running in time with the incoming tempo.
MTC ā MIDI Time-code
MIDI time code is a linear time reference often used by audio recorders and computer-based
sequencer applications.
It has some advantages, and some disadvantages compared to MIDI clock.
MTC does not carry any tempo information. To use MTC, the tempo settings on master and
slave devices must be set to the same value manually.
Cirklon can send MIDI time-code on any port, and will also respond to incoming MTC by
starting, and running at its internally configured tempo.
Encoder 11 is pressed to toggle the transmission of MTC for each port.
MTC supports a number of different time-code frame rates.
The frame rate for transmission is selected on the MIDI options page described below.
