hey...
i work on this small groove box.
and i have some sync problems.
maybe u guys can help me a little bit.
for moment i did 2 variations...
the problem is, when i change to another variation, the sync
become out of control. u can hear it when u change the variation.
when i use the on/off button on glockGen... and start again the sequencers, then the sync is fine.
what i did wrong.
thanks and greetings

I dont have any advice on the syncing, just wanted to say it sounds very good.

Cheers

The problem is the changing clock divider (its 4 in a variation and 1 in the others). Unless your timing is perfect and you change the variation right on the downbeat, then you will lose sync. What I do is I put a downbeat circuit which fires a seq reset after 16 beats (its essentially a 1/16 clock divider followed by a s/h which holds the next variation and fires a sync on the downbeat - after the variation change). See BCBydro_DZ prf2 in the soundset - Slot A patch uses variation changes on downbeat.

I tend NOT to change clockdividers between variations or I use the above trick .

Even more annoying is that when you change the sequencer loop length it immediately goes to step 1. Imagine I am on step 6 and my sequencer loop is 16. I should be able to change the loop to say 12 if the current step is < 12. Nope, current steps immediately goes back to 1.
