I haven´t tried it myself but I´d say that by 99% chance, the JP-4´s arp ext clock in isexpecting a positive going pulse to advance the arpeggiator one step. > I'm asking this because I wonder if I could control the clock via MIDI, by > using the Novation BassStations trigger output and let a sequencer play i.e. > 4/4 notes on the CV/trigger channel.. get it..? anyone tried this, with or > without success? would it damage the Jupiter 4 (or the BassStation for that > sake..)? Sure you could. Use the BassStations Gate/Trig output and program say a 16th note sequence in your sequencer. The JP-4 will play a synchronized arpeggiation. Make sure the notes are kept short though, preferably shorter than a 32th note but occuring every 16th ! Hope this makes sense :-) LJ
