Can I quote you on that last bit? It's a point I try to get across...

@@LearningModular absolutely. I would be honored. Have a peek at my jam channel if you are inclined. I'm less experienced than you, but I'm learning fast :) Search for Strawman Hat. Thanks for all your time and lessons. I really love your live setup with the strings and springs. Cheers from Toronto.

It was a bit of hell for a couple of weeks...but finally have it sorted.

I'm really glad to hear that. I always figure if something is tripping me up, it may be tripping up others as well - so I should share what I learned.

You're welcome

A lot of devices have an internal clock, often running at a different (often higher) resolution compared to the external clock. It takes them a few ticks of the external clock to measure its timing and synchronize its internal clock to it. Think of it as two pulleys connected with a soft rubber band. When one suddenly starts spinning, the rubber band stretches initially while the second pulley gets up to speed; there is also some stretch & slack wobble until the two agree on the speed. (Technically, the mechanism inside most of these modules is a "phase locked loop." The more smoothing they have to iron out jitter in the incoming clock, the longer it takes them to respond to speed changes.)

The P&T blank is holding a space for a yet-unreleased module... ;-) I'm using a passive mult for the clock splitting. Buffered mults are only needed for pitch, or in some cases if you're splitting a LOT of clock signals (like, 1 into 6).

Fair enough, that makes sense. I might have to invest in a buffered mult anyway. Unreleased module ...... sounds exciting !! Thanks so much for your prompt reply. Enjoy the Holidays.

You don't need an inverted square wave; just a normal positive-going gate or trigger or other pulse. It so happens that Pamela also has the option for a signal that stays high while running, which I've used; if I remember correctly, it's an alternate selection for a time division - not the waveshape selection you would expect. Click the encoder to modify the time multiplier/divider, and it's one of the options beyond the numbers. Look in the manual on page 7 where it talks about "utility" modifiers.

Steve Turner mine doesn’t either. Did you find out why?

Ev Thomet see my other comment here you go - OHHHH it is in the same menu level as the multipliers and dividers. I never realised what that was for! THANK YOU!!!

OR gates that use diodes - like the Intellijel - work almost instantly. But others - like the 2hp - that reads the inputs with a microprocessor, does math in code, and then writes the gate output back to hardware have a slight processing delay.

Mister Shledge yeah I would use a rcd or qcd if I wanted to mess/change the tempo/ division for individual modules much less headache

I have a 4ms QCD over in my big case. In this case, the programmability of Pamela allows me to decide what divisions to run Euclidean Circles, the Echophon, and the arpeggiator at and change it from number to number. I'm also enjoying the synchronized modulation on the spare channels.

I need a few more details. Gate is your master reset, or clock? And what is the problem you're having?

I run Grids at its highest clocking resolution, which is 24 ppqn. Therefore, I have Pam set to the same speed (x24). This means the LED blinks so fast that it appears to be on constantly. The other two secrets are turning the clock knob on Grids all the CCW so it takes external clock, and to patch up a reset signal.

Hi...thanks very much for the reply.@@LearningModular

I honestly don't remember. Can you point me to where I said that, for context, to jog my memory?

@@LearningModular hahah right at the end, something about an ARPEGGIATOR.

@@steveturner1815 the lost video! I was talking about an earlier firmware version of the TiNRS Tuesday: It was 1.5 clock ticks ahead during the first measure, and 0.5 clock ticks behind from the first “reset” onward. I had to invert its gate out to get it back in sync. I am told that has been fixed in the current firmware.

It's one of the clock division/clock multiplication options. Just keep scrolling through until you get to the symbols for Step Up and Step Down (little icons showing the gate's shape), as well as On and Off. Many make the mistake of looking for them one level down in the Extended Per Trigger Adjustment menu (long press on the encoder), but that's not where they live - they're up on the default level along with /2 etc.

Got it. Thanks for your help.

@@LearningModular Thank you. That’s been driving me up the wall for DAYS…

Yeah...I talk too fast when I get excited. That's why I'm hoping to add closed captions to my online courses later this year.
