This a master BPM clock with count-in and an external sync. It can be set from 20 to 200 BPM (beats per minute). It outputs variable pulse width clocks from 1/64 notes to 64 bars.There is a count-in which can be set to 0, 1, 2, 4 or 8 1/4 note beats. A count-in output is provided for a click if desired. The sync/external input works as follows: When the External toggle is off the sync input acts as a normal sync and resets the phase to 0 but does not adjust the BPM. When the External toggle is on, the clock will calculate the BPM of the incoming sync signal and adjust it’s own BPM to match. In this case it assumes that the sync signal is a 1/4 note beat clock.
The run and ext toggles have an input to allow the toggles to be controlled by an external signal. There is a pulse width knob that can adjust the duty cycle of the clock signals from 1 to 99% and an external reset input
