If I understand correctly, the division was kept and the multiplication was removed. I’ve seen in a few threads (on Muffs, mostly) that clock multiplication is inherently imperfect because it takes a few gates/triggers to determine the incoming clock rate so that it can be multiplied. I.e. Any changes to the base clock rate cause temporary desyncs for the multiplied clock.

as one of the people who pestered you endlessly for kria clock input, thank you. ansible ordered.

Pretty much, yes. One of the challenges in doing a digital eurorack sequencer is that most people expect to send something like a 16th note clock. It makes it hard to work at a higher resolution internally because it needs to be multiplied. It’s less of a problem with syncing MIDI devices externally because a MIDI clock is 24 PPQ (or 6 beats per 16th note) so it’s a lot easier to sync it quickly without any noticeable glitching.

Agreed. Clock in and out for sequence apps/modules is important. Need to sync with other elements of music machine.

+1 to the requests for WW Kria clock in. I’m likely buying an Ansible and Arc anyway, but having the additional flexibility to choose where to run Kria would be very welcome.

#10

ok!

just making clear that the clock input version will not have clock div.

also someone please inform me of the proper nomenclature for clock mult/div? period or frequency?

+1 for clock input on the WW version of Kria. Sorry! :stuck_out_tongue:

#12

Ah okay, so it will have clock multiplication but no division.

It’s great that you take the effort of doing this!

:stars:

Clock multiplication: higher frequency than the incoming clock
Clock division: lower frequency than the incoming clock

o/ ww kria clock in! :slight_smile:

I never noticed this before but while figuring out a way to clock everything from Kria via Ableton/Skinnerbox I found that my Kria does not follow its own clock and I wonder if anyone experiences the same. It drove me nuts trying to adjust the track delay/latency on ableton until I just noticed that there is simply no chance to get it right…

Here is clock out on one channel and trigger 1 without must/div on the other. Direct into the mixer and Logic (added some reverb and slight compression for a more pleasant listening experience):

For an e-learning side effect there are some nice twittering artifacts now, showcasing what soundcloud does to our music, they’re not on the original mp3.

I’ve really struggled clocking my Meadowphysics to an audio pulse from Ableton. I’m not sure if my problem is related to yours - could you expand on what you found?

#17

Maybe I was overly complicated (I tend to be…) but what I found was simply that Kria is not running on the speed of its own clock. As you hear in the audio example with Krias clock on the left and the trigger of Krias Channel 1 on the right.

My goal was to clock Ableton from Kria over Skinnerbox which basically worked good just that Kria was running out of sync with itself as you can hear on the example.

#18

I’ll take a listen once I get home - denied from soundcloud at the moment. Thanks!

#19

are you using clock division/mults? this is surely the issue, as the sync is not good (as i’ve previously mentioned).

this will be fixed in the ext clock version where clock mult is removed.

#20

No divisions or multiplications - just the straight trigger and the clock out.

#21

Would it be possible to create a firmware for the WW that contains both Kria and WW? Would be cool to switch between them.

#22

Agreed! And for some reason that would make me want Ansible even more…

Also, following this thought, could other trilogy modules theoretically have multiple accessible modes (ie. alternative grid and new arc programs)?

ansible has more flash than ww, but there’s likely a way to do fit it in.

if anyone wants to do this, check out the ansible firmware.

Did an ‘exploration patch’ (is that a euphemism for: I’m not sure this is ‘music’, but it sure was fun?). Love the sequencer:
