The outputs are multitude, but they are easy to understand: the red fading output can be considered the quarter note pulse. The output below it is an 1/8th note. The output above it is a 1/2 note. The output to the right is a 1/8th triplet. The slow red fading lights mark measures. Here is the total list of the clock outputs listed top to bottom; left to right:
Column 1
4 measures
2 measures
1 measure
1/2 note
1/4 note
1/8th note
1/16th note
32nd note
Column 2
4/3 measures
2/3 measures
1/2 note triplet
1/4 note triplet
1/8th note triplet
1/16th note triplet
1/32nd note triplet
1/64th note triplet
Column 3 (7 outputs)
8 measures
16 measures
32 measures
64 measures
128 measures
256 measures
512 measures
Column 3 uses a lighting system that differs from how this library usually functions – although the lights fade to red, the are not actually decreasing in signal strength proportionally. Like all of the other clocks, they are on for half their duration and off for the other half (square wave). The fading is added for visual effect and also to visually separate them from the others.
Above these outputs is a measure counter. This counts the number of trigger pulses received from the 1 measure clock since the clock began running. The measure counter wraps around to 0 after 999 measures.
The first two knobs across the top are the main tempo controls. The left knob controls the number left of the decimal point (0-240) while the knob on the right controls the number right of the decimal point (00-99). Each of these controls is floored, so the maximum resolution for each tempo step is 1 BPM for the left knob and .01 BPM for the right knob.
The second knob down on the left labelled ^ is the drop tempo which is initiated by the button lit by an RGB in the bottom middle of the module. When that toggle button is engaged (red) the tempo drops to the level preset by the ^ knob which is metered as a number below the master module tempo. Between the metronome red lights are two red lights that indicate the relative balance between the drop tempo and the master tempo. This relationship is also indicated by the RGB light on the button which is red when the cycle is 1/2 and under, purple when 1/2 and over, and green when completed.
The sec knob indicates how many seconds (floored, 0-60) it takes for the drop tempo to rise back to the normal tempo. It is monitored by a number between the buttons and the outputs.
The l|c button switches between a linear curve or a faded exponential/linear curve. When the knob is turned all the way towards the e, its response is exponential (begins slowly, then climbs quickly) while all the way towards the l its response is logarithmic (climbs quickly and then finishes slowly). Halfway in between the two is not linear, but rather a mixture of exponential and logarithmic, with the first half of the curve being exponential and the second being logarithmic.
The x.5 button is a half-time button that, when engaged, divides the tempo by 2.
To the left of that button is the clock start button – it is addressable by a remote switch (so that you may link up multiple locks). Note, however, that if you attach a wire to this point, you will not be able to remove it unless you edit the UI of the module and pull the input away from the button. You will still be able to start and stop the module, but you will not be able to break off the connection.
This button is not a reset – it is a pause button. More advanced functionality coming soon – suggestions welcome (please visit http://www.forum.audulus.com and get my attention with @biminiroad – thanks!).
