External START/STOP

[funkyfarm]

Do you know a simple way to patch, add a START/STOP function to a clock divider or step sequencer, or any module with CLOCK and RESET inputs ?

routing master clock to a vca (initial gain set to zero)
firing this vca with a gate
using this same gate signal, shorten to trigger, as a reset ?
or an EOC trig ?

thank you.

Hello

If you want to control the Clock signal, IE to turn it off
and on with a push switch then:-

You use a flip-flop [like a 4013], with a pulse
high switch in for Start/Stop, then connect the output
of the flip-flop to a 2 input AND gate [like 4081], with the CLOCK SOURCE
going into the 2nd input of the AND gate.
The output of the AND gate then connected to the Clock in
on your module/counter thing.

Thank you !

what a cool little circuit.

for sure, IC outputs never go to ground.
i've once understood (here) that the famous 1k output resistor protects final buffer IC output of a module when inserting a jack plug. (among other things)
