Is there an existing free clock that can be configured for 96 ppqn, meaning output 96 pulses per quarter note, with tempo measured in quarter notes displayed as BPM?
yeah, the Impromptu ones. My sequencers will find them in your rack and patch them up, set everything to 96, etc…

Ugh - I was looking at it backwards - I got it. Thanks

Hello Squinky,
Thank you for this wonderful clock. I use it every day. Is it the mode buttons that change the PPQN?
Best Regards HirreTR
yep, but that only goes up to 24 (display states P24). If you need 96 PPQN then you need to sacrifice one of the clocks for that and set it manually to 96x.

Ill do that thanks, how will the reciever (Entrian Melody) understand what is going on then because the header in there increases the speed?
I don’t own the Entrian sequencer plugin, but the manual states a 1/4 or 16th note into the Clock in. What it doesn’t state is what PPQN it should be fed. Maybe try a 4 PPQN and then a16 PPQN and then a 24 PPQN first and see if any of those work as they are the most common.

Yes those work automatically, its when I increase it manually to 96 that the head of the entrian moves faster.
It looks like the Entrian module does not have a clock input that expects a x96 ppqn, so you should adjust/align the clock to the expected ppqn and leave it. If it speeds up by manually increasing the ppqn of the clock, it simply means you are already at expected ppqn.
The Entrian clock input is labelled as “x4, 1/16th”, so I guess that is what it expects.
Hirretr808: what are you trying to achieve? If you want finer timing resolution, you can set “Steps per Beat” in the Entrian editor. Set it to 24, combined with a Clock x 4 this gives you a resolution of 96 steps per clock cycle.
Inside the step editor i have it set to 96, and
and i am guessing there that the mode is 24 ppqn and the clock is set to quarter note, now i have 2 beats per bar, i think. here is the setting inside melody
I just want to try and see if it is worth it to have a higher resolution setting when playing with piano keys.
If you switch off quantisation in Entrian Sequencers, or set it very high. you can put the notes pretty much where you like and it will just work. The clock should always be 1/16th, and there’s an internal clock multiplier that allows for notes at arbitrary places.
In other words, notes can trigger between clock ticks as well as on them.
(Things reserve the right to go shonky if you modulate the clock speed!)

KlokSpid MkII - or any clock multiplier to x96.
