Over the years, the Electro-Harmonix Clockworks Rhythm Generator/Synthesizer Pedal has become an iconic tool for electronic music production. This innovative and sophisticated pedal is a meticulous reissue of the original 1970s rhythm generator, renowned for its powerful and versatile performance.
The Clockworks Rhythm Generator/Synthesizer Pedal is designed to control drum machines and sequencers, serving as a master clock. It's not just a pedal that creates sound; it's an advanced rhythm generator that produces pulses to trigger other devices, setting the tempo for drum machines or sequencers like EHX's 8 Step Program.
This advanced pedal features four independent output jacks, each associated with a clock divider channel. These channels are equipped with their own Divisor Sliders and LEDs, allowing you to set the clock divider by simply adjusting the slider to your desired division number.
Each channel also boasts its own Level Slider, providing independent control over the output pulse amplitude or level. This feature ensures a high level of customization and precision in your music production.
The Clockworks Rhythm Generator/Synthesizer Pedal also includes a Clock In/Out Jack that serves dual purposes. When set to INT mode, it functions as an output for the internally generated clock pulses. In EXT mode, it becomes an input for your externally generated clock.
The pedal also features two additional output jacks, Out 3 and Out 4, compatible with any standard patch or instrument cable.
To further enhance your control over your music, the Clockworks Rhythm Generator/Synthesizer Pedal is equipped with a Clock Tempo Slider and a Clock Level Slider. These are located in the CLOCK section of the Clockworks, allowing you to adjust the master tempo or speed of the internal clock generator and the output level of the internal master clock sent to the CLOCK IN/OUT jack, respectively.
In essence, the Electro-Harmonix Clockworks Rhythm Generator/Synthesizer Pedal is a versatile, powerful, and sophisticated tool for any electronic music producer seeking to create complex rhythms and patterns with ease.
