Manifold Research Centresir.clk CV to MIDI Clock Interface

Manifold Research Centre sir.clk

sir.clk from Manifold Research Centre is a CV to MIDI clock module for Eurorack systems, providing a simple and compact solution for clocking external MIDI devices with a Eurorack synth. Both gentlemanly and obscene, sir.clk provides multiple modes of CV sourced MIDI clocking perfect for both well-timed and experimental divisions of temporal space. Simply patch a clock output into the top input of sir.clk, set the panel controls to your preferred mode, and you'll have a TRS type-a MIDI clock source at the lower MIDI output ready for all your MIDI enabled devices.

For simple and stable clocking, keep the potentiometer control centered at noon, and flick the three position switch to the right. This provides stable clocking within 30-300 bpm like standard MIDI gear. Sooner or later, sir.clk is bound to convince you to explore his other devious capabilities. Turning the knob to either side introduces clock jitter or random tempo change events, introducing some fabulously broken beats and rhythms. Pushing the start switch left instead of right will let you clock the module with a much higher range up to 3000 bpm. While some MIDI devices won't be able to handle these speeds, many can unlock new timbres and techniques at these ultra-fast settings, turning step sequencers into lo-fi wavetables and offering an immediate breakcore solution. sir.clk from Manifold Research Centre is your second in command for modular to MIDI clocking control, riding valiantly into unexplored territories at breakneck speeds.
