The LED user interface is the primary visu-
al feedback between you and Nautilus. It
mediates a host of settings in real time to
keep you in your patch, including Resolution
position, Sensor amounts, Depth position,
Chroma effect, and more!
Each section of the Kelp UI will ping in sync
with Nautilus’s different delay lines and clock
pulses, creating a swirling, hypnotic light
show providing information in real time.
Nautilus can either operate using an internal or external clock. The internal clock is determined
via the Tap Tempo button. Simply tap along to whatever tempo you desire, and Nautilus will ad-
just its internal clock to your taps. Nautilus requires at least 2 taps to determine a clock rate. The
default internal clock rate at boot up is always 120bpm.
For external clocks, use the Clock In gate input to sync Nautilus with your primary clock source, or
any other gate signal. The clock rate is indicated by the Kelp base LEDs. You will notice that the
clock LED blip is also affected by other knobs on the module, including Resolution, Sensors, and
Dispersal. We dive deeper into the clock interactions within each of these sections!
Absolute minimum and maximum clock rate range: 0.25Hz (4 seconds) to 1kHz (1 millisecond)
Clock In gate input threshold: 0.4V
