Shakmat Clock O’Pawn Manual Download Page 2

The Clock O’Pawn is a useful clock sourcing device that 

performs as your system’s true chef d’orchestre. Its transport 

section lets you start, stop, and reset connected instruments 

which are synchronised to an intuitive internal clock source or 

dancing along with your analogue and MIDI equipment. If you 

get bored by a metronomous clock, turn up the swing function 

and the maestro will lead with a nice shuffled feel !
