Analogue systems

Going at it one step at a time (just checked this on my machine)

1. do Clock settings/Sync to Clock/Synchronise
2. do Clock settings/Clock source trig1
3. feed your square wave (or whatever) into trig 1
4. you should now see a * in the top right hand corner; if you don't
may need to play with the 'square wave' (eg amplitude) but worked fine
on mine straight off an lfo (although I usually use triggers myself)
5. now if you check the BPM it should be working fine

The non-moving delay time may be due to you choosing "sync to 1/3" (or
whatever fraction) which is the next setting along from "synchronise"
within the "sync to clock" menu? Actually a great boon for delays that
dont sound like someone falling down the stairs when there is any kind
of beat in the material (not that that doesn't have its place in
modern music too ;) but you have to go into this menu to move the
delay rather than in "show delay time" I seem to remember

Hope that works for you
