There is nothing else connected to the CV controller. I’ve tried it with a Behringer Bi-Phase and it works perfectly so I’ll just use that.

Hello Punkymep

Translation: ‘Hello, is there any device that receives midi beat clock and delivers click when superpulsing?’

See my earlier post and my replies to it. This works but only over about 30bpm:

Tap/Clock input device for Super Pulsar

Sorry, they haven’t answered mine.

I have checked my spam folder. Maybe they should check theirs.

All was going so well but I just discovered that Mod-Rex does not synch properly with BPM lower than about 80. It is possible to manually set the BPM to 30 so it isn’t as if it is outside technical specs.

I’ll start a separate thread about it.

Just an update to say that the device linked above arrived today and with a little tweaking, I got both the Super Pulsar and Mod-Rex synched to the metronome on my Zoom R24 using a modified 3.5mm to two ¼” jack splitter (I couldn’t find a mono cable so I split the cable insulation at an appropriate point and linked the tip and ring wires). I can’t believe how solid everything sounds now – I have five channels diverging from my guitar/effects.

I need to tidy up the connections now it is all working, though, there are cables everywhere!

Hello Martin,

Funny, I just returned to this thread to check out what I had done previously as I had gone through quite a few reconfigurations and when I reconnected the Super Pulsar as I thought it had been, it no longer worked as it had so I wanted to go through my previous steps.

I can confirm that having had no luck, when I followed the steps in my previous two posts, I am getting intermittent success using my Zoom R24 and metronome set to ‘Click’ and level set at 20% in the settings and the headphone output set to full – Super Pulsar set to External Switch. When the beat LED flashes, it is smack on the beat from the R24 but occasionally, it throws a wobbler and goes a bit random.

From my perspective, I find it a bit odd that modulation pedals, especially top end ones, don’t have a solid means of synching to a beat – when I play with the Super Pulsar, I find myself playing along with the Super Pulsar’s beat but if it is out of synch with the drums, chaos soon follows. With delay pedals, tap tempo is okay as the effect doesn’t normally last more than a few seconds and it applies to the notes played but tremolo is basically pulsating the magnitude of the whole output so needs to be synchronised to not sound awful. I’m not in a band but I suppose a drummer could play along to the tremolo tempo.

Anyway, I’m still trying to get consistent results after two years so I’ll post any progress.

Please disregard my last post, I think I’ve found the solution.

The Time Bandit is unnecessary complication.

Everything I have read about using click in which mentioned the audio level has said to set it as high as necessary and as the Zoom R24 default click output is at 50%, I had been experimenting between 50% and 100% to the Time Bandit and very often, it started flashing red to reset the synch but it was picking up the click and to some extent passing it on to the Super Pulsar. When I connected the Super Pulsar directly to the Zoom R24, I had played around with the same range of audio output settings and sounds, mainly ‘stick’ and ‘click’ as they seem to have the most square shape. It sounded okay to me, listening in on a parallel pair of headphones but the Super Pulsar LED flashed in synch for a few beats and then flashed extremely fast for a second.

Anyway, I had the brainwave rather than go for maximum audio level, experiment at sub 50% and found that at 20%, the synch was solid. I rigged everything up to play what I am trying to achieve and played for 12 minutes without the slightest slippage – so I think that was the answer, I’m relieved to say.

No worries. If a solution does present itself, I’ll share it here.
