The Clock Generator module generates
a stream of logic signals. The Clock
Generator can either act on its own or
use the Master Clock signal. If you want
to sync to external MIDI clock, you
must select Master Clock as Source and
then sync the Master Clock to external MIDI Clock (see
). For examples on
how to use the Clock Generator together with Sequencer modules, see
.

The yellow Reset input forces the clock generator to restart each time it receives a signal that changes from
0 units or below to anything above 0 units. This signal could come from a Gate output of a Keyboard
module, for example. When the clock generator is reset, it also transmits a high logic signal on the Sync
output.

Set the desired tempo, in beats per minute, with the knob. Range: 24 to 214 BPM. The tempo is shown
in the display box to the left of the knob. If Master is selected as Clock Source (see above), the tempo is
selected in the Master Clock section in the Toolbar.

Here you set the interval for sending a logic pulse on the Sync output of the Clock Generator module.
This logic pulse can be used for resetting the sequencer modules in Nord Modular G2 to the “first beat
in the bar”. If you do not use the Sync function, the sequencer modules have no chance of knowing where
they are in a bar. By using the Sync function, it will never take longer than the set number of beats for
the sequencer modules to realign themselves if you decide to start your sequencer modules in the middle
of a song.
If you are synchronizing Nord Modular G2 to a MIDI Clock source, this function will keep track of any
incoming MIDI Song Position Pointer messages.

This yellow output provides you with a logic high signal when the Click Generator is switched on in In-
ternal Clock Source mode. If you have selected Master Clock Source, the Active output will send a logic
high signal as soon as a MIDI Start or MIDI Continue command is received at the
MIDI I
N
port. The
logic signal will switch back to zero when Nord Modular G2 receives a MIDI Stop signal at the
MIDI
I
N
port.
