SYNCLOCK |

The Synclock, designed by Glenn Rogers, was originally a project featured in Electronics & Music Maker magazine and marketed by Maplin Electronics in the UK The unit was designed to complement various sound modules also developed by E&MM including the Syntom and Synwave |

| The unit is basically a 10 step decade counter. The sequence
length is selectable up to the maximum of 10 steps, however, it also has
the facility to connect several units in series allowing longer sequences.
The unit allows you to choose whether or not each step is gated so
as to produce rhythmic triggers. A clock in socket lets it function as a
programmable clock divider as well.
In my studio, I use a bank of these and a selector matrix for rhythm programming of various sequencers and modules. |
