adjust its clock source switch to ext. Finally use the pat mode of the Sequencer and press on the
once button in order to make the Sequencer stop at the end of the sequence. Note that the pitch
output from the Sequencer, connected in this example to a VCO module, could be used to control
any other modules you would like to record.

6.42 Master Sync Input
The Master Sync Input module is used to route the synchronization signals generated by the Sync
module of the output stage to other modules such as a Sequencer. The first output of the module
is the sync signal itself. When the source switch of the Sync module of the output stages is set to
ext, the clock signal will be that from a host sequencer when the Tassman is used as a plug-in or,
in standalone mode, the clock signal received on the MIDI channel selected in the Player toolbar.
When the int source is chosen, the clock is adjusted, in beats per minute, in the green tempo display
of the Sync module. The second output is a gate signal equal to 1 volt when the play button of the
Sync module is pressed and 0 volt when it is inactive. This signal can be used by any module that
needs to be triggered such as a Sequencer, a Player or a Master Recorder Trig module. The
third output of the module is a reset signal generated when the reset button of the Sync module is
pressed and that can be used to re-sync modules that have a reset input.
Typical Use
In Figure 57, a Master Sync Input module is used to control a Sequencer. This module can also
be used to cut perfect loops when used in conjunction with a Master Recorder Trig as shown in
Figure 56.
Note: See the documentation of the Sync module of the output effect stage in Section 4.8.
