Glōc is a clock generator and processor that can convert a single internal or external clock into a stream of diverse related clock sources, from predictable division/doubling to complex trigger/gate sequences with stochastic masking, or any combination of these on each of the 7 clock pulse outputs.
With onboard dynamic phasing, smart tap tempo detection, and the ability to switch between fixed and live modes, glōc is ideal for performance and generative clock manipulation.
At Gloc,The following two settings set the gate from the seven outputs based on the tap tempo or the input external clock. These controls affect all seven outputs at once unless the channel is locked, but by using the lock programming mode described below, you can set the gate for each channel so that it is not affected by these controls.On the rocks
Spread applies the specified divide/multiply array value to each of the 7 clock pulse outputs.
With the Spread knob in the center position, each clock pulse is output based on the current tempo.The following values are output from the divide/multiply array:
Out 1: 16th note triplet
Out 2: 16th note
Out 3: 8th note
Out 4: 4th note
Out 5: 2th note
Out 6 : Whole note
Out 7 : dotted whole note
aboveIf you turn the Spread knob left of center as shown in the Divide/Multiply ArrayDivide/Multiply reduces the spread of the fluctuation, turning it to the right increases the spread.
When CV is input from an external source, the voltage is added to the knob position.
Probability introduces random or repeating phrasing density into each clock pulse output.
When the knob is in the center position, a clock pulse is output with 100% probability.
Turning the knob left of center introduces coin toss logic, decreasing the probability of a clock pulse being output.
Turning the knob to the right of center introduces a density mask, creating a repeating 8-step pattern with a reduced probability of generating a clock pulse.
The density mask maintains its pattern as long as there is no change in the Probability knob or external input CV, but when the knob position or input CV voltage changes, a new sequence is randomly generated.
When the Probability knob is turned fully left or right, the probability of a clock pulse being output is zero in either direction.
When CV is input from an external source, the voltage is added to the knob position.
Gloc has three modes selected by the mode toggle switch, which locks or unlocks the settings for each channel.
Lock programming mode (switch left)
個々のYou can set and save values for the spread and probability of the clock pulse output.
To set per-channel lock or unlock, enter this mode, then use the PWM knob to select the Clock Pulse output to edit, and the Tap Tempo button to select/deselect the selected output. The state of each Clock Pulse output is shown by its own LED indicator.
LED off: Clock pulse output unlocked
LED is lit white: Currently selected clock pulse output
LED Amber/White Mixed Light: Selects the locked clock pulse output
LED amber on: Clock pulse output in locked state
Regular Mode (switch center)
The clock pulse output is output according to the settings saved in Lock Programming Mode, and the PWM knob and Tap Tempo button function as they should.
Live Mode (switch right)
The clock pulse output will ignore the lock state and will be set to the current Spread knob position/input CV and Probability knob position/input CV settings.
Saving a Configuration
With the Mode Toggle in Regular or Live mode, pressing and holding the Tap Tempo button will save the current tempo and the locked/unlocked state of the Clock Pulse output, which will be saved even when the power is turned off.
Factory Reset
Press and hold the Tap button and toggle the Mode Toggle left and right eight times to perform a factory reset.
