Re: Seq and Sync

2004-05-02 by James R. Coplin

The other thing you can do to rotate a sequence is use the xfade. Take the 4
stages of A into one side of the fade, the 4 B into the second side. Run the
clock into the pulse divider, take the output to control the xfade. Set the
xfade all the way over to the second into and the pulse will immediately
swing it back to the A side and back to the B side. This works but:

For some reason, the 8x out on my pulse divider is what I have to use
instead of the 4x in order for it to switch correctly. I don't quite get
this.

The inputs from the programmer are attenuated on my xfade even with the gain
full up.

The xfade adds lag to the signals. I didn't realize this. Are these designed
for audio and have caps to drop any DC offset? That would explain the lag.
Still, it might do in a pinch.
