This is what I do, I clock the ClkDiv in its second mode with the 1/96 clock while resetting it from the 1/16 clock. This way you can set a clock between just over 50% and almost 100% that is independent of clock tempo.

Works well with the swing control, the Master Clock and external MIDI clock, as the gate length is relative to the tempo and not absolute like with a pulse or logic delay module.

Note that the ClkDiv toggles on both the positive and negative going edges of the clock when in is in the second mode from its dropdown list. So, that is why the division must be between 7 and 12. A divide by 6 is sometimes slightly unreliable (on some occasions it gave a ghost trigger).

Also works perfect with MIDI Note Out modules!

Hi,

I use 2 methods for gated sequencer. Ok -- there's a 3rd one, but it's complicated.

1. (this was mentioned before) use an "ahd m"

envelope. set the attack and decays to nothing and modulate the hold with a level sequencer (while the gate is assigned to trigger the envelope). if you wish to turn this signal into a gate (for midi out), then use the and/or gate (set to or) to convert the envelope control signal to a gate.

2. this trick can be seen in Mystica_DZ (in factory soundset).you use 2 sequencers. one which triggers the 2nd one. the 2nd one is in park by default (when the patch loads), and has looping turned off. it gets a clock signal ( typically a faster one -- 2x faster than the 1st sequencer). the 1st sequencer's gate output is connected to the 2nd sequencer's reset. the 2nd sequencer is set to G (gate). so now you can set the duration of the note using the 2nd sequencer (first n steps turned on), while the first one is used to determine when this note get played.

the nice thing about this trick, is that you do not have to play/hold only one note in the 2nd sequencer (but a pattern of notes maybe -- as demonstrated in mystica_DZ).
