Re: [Doepfer_a100] Clocking the modular from Ableton Live with A-190-8

2014-06-04 by james.husted@mac.com

Another thing to check when using clock dividers is that some are what I call "mathematical" dividers and some are "musical" ones. I don't know which the Pamila's is. A Musical one produces clocks on the downbeat where as the math versions go on the number of clocks. Since I can't attach a graphic I will try and explain it this way:

If you are looking at the divide by four out of a Math version, the out will be like this:
0ne-two-three-FOUR-one-two-three-FOUR-one-two...etc.

on a musical one it would be:
ONE-two-three-four-ONE-two-three-four-ONE-two...etc.

When you reset a Math one all the outs go LOW, when you reset a Musical one, all the puts go HIGH. This makes a lot of difference when clocking rhythms against each other. A Math one will always seem off.

Yes, when I was writing my first post that occured to me to. I'll try it. Also gonna try with a MacBook...
