The 

TAP

 switch will toggle MIDI clock master/slave mode as follows:

• 

LED off

 – Off mode.  The Geckoplex will ignore any incoming MIDI

clock messages but will pass them thru to the output.

• 

LED on

 – Receive mode (default).  The Geckoplex will sync its delay

time with incoming MIDI clock messages, unless the delay is already
locked by the tap-tempo.  The

SUBDIV

 switch

 

setting will affect the

delay time set from the MIDI clock.  Set

SUBDIV

 to the quarter note

setting to get a 1:1 time sync with the MIDI clock.

• 

LED flashing

 – Master mode.  The Geckoplex will output clock

messages generated from its own current delay time setting for
downstream devices to sync to.  Any incoming MIDI clock messages will
be ignored and will not pass thru to the output.

The 

ON

 switch stores the settings and resets the unit.
