CV/GATe-InTeRFACe / SYnC

Thanks to it‘s CV/gate and sync interface, Tanzbär is compatibel to many vintage  
synthesizers, drumcomputers and sequencers.

Sequences, programmed on tracks CV 1 and CV 2/3 are sent out via Tanzbär‘s CV/gate 
sockets.

Inverting Gate Signals

The outputted gate signals (Gate 1 and Gate 2) can be independently inverted:

•  Hold 

Shift

 + 

Gate (Step 14)

. Step 1 and Step 2 flash green.

•  Press 

Step 1

 or 

Step 2

 to invert the gate signals of track 1 resp. track 2  

(red LED = inverted).

•  Press 

Select

 to confirm the function.

Sync/Start Sockets

These sockets send or receive an analogue clock resp. start signal to synchronise Tanzbär 
with vintage drumcomputers and sequencers.
Please note, that the clock signal generated by Tanzbär is sent out with the programmed 
shuffle intensity. A pretty unique feature as far as we know.
Because of technical reasons, gate, clock and start/stop signals have a voltage level of 3V. 
So they might not be compatible to all vintage machines.

Sync/Start In and Output

This function determines, if the sockets start/stop and clock work as inputs or outputs.

•  Hold 

Shift

 + 

Sync (Step 13)

. Step 13 flashes green.

•  Press 

Step 13

 to configure these sockets as inputs or outputs (red LED = input).

•  Press 

Select

 to confirm the function.

Please note: If these sockets are configured as inputs, Tanzbär will be syn-

chronised resp. ”slaved“ to an external clock source. The 

Play button is out 

of function.

Clock Divider

Tanzbär‘s clock output features a clock divider. It‘s settings can be accessed via the Setup 
menu. Flashing LEDs 1 to 10 show it‘s sub functions.

•  Hold 

Shift

 + press 

Setup (Step 16)

. The Setup menu is enabled. Flashing  

LEDs 1 to 10 show sub functions.

•  Press 

Step 5

. The function toggles between:  

  - ”divider off“ = LED green (clockrate = 24 ticks / 1/4 note / DIN-sync)  
  - ”divider on“ = LED red (divider value = selected scale value; page 22).

•  Press 

Select

 to confirm the function.

Start/Stop Impuls/Level-configuration

Some drumcomputer and sequencers send or require a short voltage pulse to start and 
stop (e.g. Urzwerg, SEQ-01/02), others a constant voltage level (e.g. TR-808, Doepfer). 
Tanzbär‘s start/stop socket can be configured to these needs. The settings can be  
accessed via the Setup menu:

•  Hold 

Shift

 + press 

Setup (Step 16)

. The Setup menu is enabled. Flashing  

LEDs 1 to 10 show sub functions.

•  Press 

Step 9

. The function toggles between: 

  - ”impuls“ = red LED and  
  - ”level“ = green LED. 

•  Press 

Select

 to confirm the function.
