Does anyone know what cord setup it is to link the midi clock to totally cut and then restore the amp level (in a gate on/off repeatedly style)?

Is it something like clk > LFO frequency > amp or something ... I can't quite sort it.

Well, I've had far too much coffee today, and I'm not in front of my Emu, but I would do this:

CLK->AmpVol. 100% if you want a full on-off effect. This should route the clock directly to volume, no intermediate LFO needed Use CLK 1/4 (not sure exactly what it's called) if you want a different interval.

I didn't know you could use the clock directly like that... it will behave just like a square wave LFO? (which is what I was just about to suggest)

Yep, if it's set up directly like I described, it's a square wave LFO synced perfectly to clock.

Hmm, that's actually pretty interesting. With this and the lag processors, maybe this is another way to get a synced LFO thing going? That would give you a LOT of synced LFOs per voice...

Cool, more stuff to try this weekend

I tried that but it never worked - it's not a square wave, it's a minute pulse I think!!

I turn voice volume down to -96db in the amplifier page and then set Ck16th to AmpVol +100%. It sounds like square wave to me.

Nah that still doesn't do what I need it to. If you're using a 16th of a clock tick then the pulse it sends will start to sound like a sq. wave due to how short a time you're dealing with.

What I need is complete silence for say 8th of a tick, then full volume for the next 8th, then full volume for the next 8th, etc. etc.

It is not as simple as just cording clk8th to amp I don't think.

Maybe I'm not understanding, but if I do this: Clk8th->AmpVol->-100% (yep, negative 100%), I get the sound going on-off on the 8th notes.

Something I didn't realize is that the AmpEnv seems to get triggered every time the amp vol jumps back up to 100%. So if you've got any attack on your sound, that sound will have to go through it's attack phase on every clock pulse division. So for a true, hard on-off, you'll have to use no attack and no release.

This presents a problem if you want an initial attack, but not on every clock pulse. I guess the solution is to resample... Not the best solution here, but...

well, that is cool.

i was wondering if you could get the envelopes to reloop or whatever.
i might see what i can get on that.

but one thing you might beable to do, if you need to have an attack, is set up a cc to control ampvolume, then you could just draw in the cc on every note, then copy the sequence with the cc info at the same time. you would have to make a new cord with of course to control the amp volume.

just an idea

Thank you!

That's so much the more obvious thing to do, surprised I didn't think of it, being master of the cc, and gives far more control than using the midi clock.

Cool.

wouldn't you use the clock cord into the flip flop then to amp volume. giving you one note value on one note value off.

Just remembering that cord from the manual.

didnt read the whole post, LFO w/ square wave, modulating the ampvol in cords.
