In addition to its internal clock, you can synchronize the Vector to DIN
Sync, MIDI Beat Clock, or an external clock pulse. If the clock source in
your modular can generate a run/stop CV and clock ticks at 24PPQN
(parts per quarter note), you can use the
Run
&
Clock
jacks for DIN
Sync. For all sync sources, the Vector will internally up-rez the signal to
480PPQN for accurate rendering of features like Pitch Glide, Groove
and Ratcheting. Sync settings are on the first page of
GLOBALS
.
DIN Sync
:
1. Connect a DIN Sync source to the Vector through the
Run
&
Clock
jacks, the
STG Sync
connector on the back panel, or the
DIN IN
Jack
on the Jack Expander module.
2. Select
'RC24'
for Sync via the
Run
&
Clock
jacks,
'STG'
for sync via
the STG Sync connector on the back panel, or
'JxDIN'
for DIN Sync via
the
DIN
input connector on the Jack Expander.
3. Start playback from your DIN Sync source per usual.
MIDI Beat Clock
:
1. Connect a MIDI Beat Clock source to the Vector via the
USB A
or
B
jacks on the front panel, or use the 5-pin MIDI Input connector on the Jack
Expander.
2. In
Globals,
page 1, select
'USB-A'
for sync via the USB ‘to device’
jack,
'USB-B'
for sync via the USB ‘to host’ jack, or
‘JxMID’
for sync via
the MIDI Input on the Jack Expander.
3. Start playback from your MIDI Clock source.
External Clock Pulse
:
1. Connect a clock pulse (gate or trigger) running at either 1 or 4 pulse(s)
per beat (PPQN) to the
Clock
jack on the Vector. Optionally connect a
reset pulse to the
Reset
jack.
2. Select
‘CR/1’
(for a 1 PPQN incoming clock) or
‘CR/4’
(for a 4 PPQN
clock)
to use the
Reset
input as a global reset for all parts, or use
‘Cr/1’
or
‘Cr/4’
for optional reset. To set a part to reset in
Cr/1
or
Cr/4
sync
modes, on the
Control
page for that part, pick
‘EXT’
for
Reset
.
3. Start and stop the Vector using the
Run
button.
TIP: For primary sync, the Vector will track smooth tempo changes well,
but for random or ‘patterned’ triggering of sequences, see page 16,
External Resets & Triggers
.
