A talking with lots of demonstration tutorial looking at 'my' Berlin School focused rack - which can do a lot lot more btw - but following on from my Making Tangerine Dream walkthrough from last week. Covering rack overview, how to use 4 clock dividers for performance flexibility, how to use one sequencer to control the others, how to cross clock for polymeter and polyrhythm, how to sync other modules with their own sequencers, and a look at performative flow (how to flow between sections etc) so in summary an under the bonnet and a big 'How To' (well how I do) in the following chapters ... skip around if you want and please like!
Note: I do interchange the words clock, gates, triggers, steps, sync here and there, apologies in advance but I am focusing on practical music making here vs a tech demo or review ... a short summary of those words
A gate is a regular or irregular pulse voltage with a variable length, to open and close other devices
A trigger is a regular or irregular very short pulse voltage that is always very short, just to 'trip' something
A clock is a regular short pulse to usually keep two sequencer based instruments locked to each other
Steps are of course the usually irregular outputs from sequencers to sound sources and can be multiples or divisions of incoming clocks or triggers or gates ...
