USING MIDI NOTE 000 AS A CLOCK
for the Patternator and / or Arpeggiator
Both these sections can be clocked from ‘NOTE’. When selected, the Patternator
and Arpeggiator will advance one step each time Fusebox receives MIDI Note 000 (on
the correct channel!)
This is a very cool and versatile way to sync Fusebox to a MIDI sequencer.
The problem with standard MIDI Clock is it is always on or always off. You can’t
manipulate it in any way mid-sequence.
Using MIDI Note 000 you simple write a bar (or more) of MIDI notes and loop it.
You have the versatility of muting this clock track at will, you can change the tempo
relative to the main sequencer (go half tempo, for example), or, you can make some
kind of syncopated rhythm.
The picture below shows the most straight forward clock pattern you might use.
32nd notes spaced at 16th note intervals. So, Fusebox will advance one step every
16th note.
The note length is determined by the note value. A 32nd note in this case.
MIDI Note 000 is the first and lower note used by MIDI. Nicely out of the way. Note
value is C-2.
