Internal and external clocking
MeloDICER can generate its own tempo or it can be synced to an external clock source.
Use TAP to set the tempo. Hit the button at least twice, more taps will increase the accuracy. MeloDICER will
measure the time between your taps and calculate the desired tempo.
The internal clock will be overwritten when using an external clock signal at CLK IN. MeloDICER accepts signals
with a voltage of up to +10 volts. It syncs on the positive edge at a threshold of +2 volts.
With the factory defaults, meloDICER expects quarter notes as clock reference (1 PPQN). Higher values make the
module run too fast. With the PPQN parameter you can change the rate to 4 or 24. (See "PPQN – pulses per
quarter note (8)" on page 22).
The module does not work like a step sequencer that triggers the next step with each incoming clock signal.
Instead it synchronizes its own internal clock base to the external one. Thus, stopping and starting the clock will
not immediately stop and start meloDICER.
To start and stop meloDICER use the mute function instead (see "Mute" on page 13).
With the optional MEX3 module meloDICER can recognize to the MIDI realtime messages START, STOP and
CONTINUE. (see "MIDI Start/Stop/Continue" on page 33).
