I have a Volca modular modified with Midi output. Midi out is only Midi clock signal at 24ppq. I was wondering if it possible to sync the two system via the Volca Modular Midi clock out with the Master module perhaps?? Is it possible to set it up for 24ppq or other divisions??

Hi rappel, The MASTER module expects a 24ppq signal for clock, so that should be no problem.

oK. I was asking but I am not completely sure of the 24ppq part... I know I have problems running in sync when I try to feed the Volca Modular Midi clock, it looks like the receiving end (eg another Volca) runs at 36ppq... like a 1/3 faster....

If you do have this problem when connected to the AE, one of the divider modules should help (if you have one!).

It's midi, not cv....

I suppose it needs a midi clock divider/multiplier, not an analog divider. It could work, because at the end the digital midi clock signal is nothing more than a dc signal, with a specific virtual ground, and a specific amplitude for the clock pulses. But it should be tested . I'm not that confident that could work out of the box....

The MIDICLOCK DIVIDER module (formerly known as BEATDIVIDER) will divide midi signals, that’s it’s purpose. I think the MMDIVIDER module is for analogue

The MIDICLOCK DIVIDER module (formerly known as BEATDIVIDER) will divide midi signals, that’s it’s purpose. I think the MMDIVIDER module is for analogue I just learned it also. MIDI Clock too fast? MIDI clock signals consist of 96 pulses per quarter (ppq). In many situations this is too fast for modular synth applications, so you need to divide the clock rate to something slower in your AE Modular system. The first step is usually to run the BUS CLK through a BEAT DIVIDER module, which is specifically made for MIDI clock division. It divides the clock by 3, resulting in a more useful 32 ppq signal. You can also divide it further down with the module’s front panel potentiometer. wiki.aemodular.com/pmwiki.php/AeManual/MM-DIVI thought the MMDIVIDER had multimode, and beat is specifically for Midi division. I just read the FAQ section post by Nightmachine. BEAT DIVIDER/ (Midiclock Divider) View Product Page This module is designed to break the 24 pulses per quarter note from Midi into more musically useful intervals for the modular synthesist. The Midi usually comes via the master module on the Bus CLK output on the module. It can be used to divide other clocks, e.g. an LFO or even a VCO. If you need more complex division, there is the Multi Mode Divider module:- wiki.aemodular.com/pmwiki.php/AeManual/MM-DIVI think it works with Midi clock! Outputs 1..8 - 8 trigger out puts for the different clock divisions BUS GATE - MIDI Gate signal from the internal bus BUS CLK - The MIDI clock signal from the internal bus. Please note that the actual clock resolution depends on your MIDI clock source. The MIDI standard is 24ppqn (Pulses per Quarter Note) BUS START - sends a trigger when the MIDI start message is sent from a connected MIDI device BUS STOP - sends a trigger when the MIDI stop message is sent from a connected MIDI device

But it should be tested . I'm not that confident that could work out of the box.... Both divider modules (MMDivider, Beatdivider/Midiclock Divider) will break up the midiclock into more useful triggers; I prefer the MMDivider as you can do more than just make a clock slower with the different modes, and is great fun with audio....
Ground is dealt with within the AE by the bus wire behind the modules, and both modules work fine from any B.CLK (bus clock) socket on any relevant module (including themselves). The bus clock in the AE is be the midiclock fed into the Master unit.
Midi is actually OV when "off", and then 5V when "high"/"triggering" etc. so works perfectly with the AE.
