Disting - Expert Sleepers - Clock

The Disting has just two knobs to navigate: 

 

1. The Top S knob / encoder

2. Lower Z knob / encoder

MENU ITEMS

To enter the menu press the S encoder once 

The MENU is completely controlled with the S ENCODER.

 

You will see the current menu item.

To scroll through the menu items turn the S encoder.

You will see these files as you scroll:

• Algorithm – Press S to select algorithm 

• Save – Press S to save a preset 

• Load – Press S to load a preset 

• Help – Press S to access help 

• Settings – Press S to change settings 

• Calibrate – Press S to begin calibration

To exit the Menu, press the lower Z encoder once.

--------------------------------------------------------

Algorithm

To change or select an algorithm, you only need to press the top S encoder.

You need to enter the Menu section.

1. Press "S" encoder

 In the Algothrim section press S again.

2. Scroll till you have found your algorithm.

3. Finally, press the S encoder again to switch to the chosen algorithm.

---------------------------------------------------

Parameters

Each algorithm may have up to eight 'parameters'

If an algorithm has more than one parameter, pressing the Z knob cycles through them

Parameters are adjusted via the S knob. 

 The current parameter can also be selected by pushing in the S knob and turning it while holding it in.

Disting - Expert Sleepers - Clock

Algorithm G6 

This algorithm converts clocks between MIDI clocks, analogue clocks and an internal timebase, 

in any combination.

 

I wish to use the Disting as my master clock.

I'd like it to display the BPM  and output analog clock pulses & midi clock to external devices 

The analogue clock exits from "A" jack 

 

The G6 clock algorithm has 7 parameters (0 to 6).

 

There are 3 main parameters you need to  be aware of:

Parameter 0

Parameter 5

Parameter 6.

 

Parameter 0 sets the mode of operation.

There a 6 modes of operation (0 to 5) . Mode 2 & 5 use the internal clock.

Mode 2 only outputs analog clock signals.

Mode 5 outputs both analog clock & Midi Clock

 

 Parameter 5 sets the tempo.

It's not displayed as a standard BPM

Parameter 5 sets the tempo, as 120BPM plus the parameter value.

So if the value is 0, this equals 120 BPM

The Min value is -120 which equals  to 0 BPM 

Max is +120 which equals 120 BPM

 

Parameter 6 is called the "Z mode"

There are only 2 values : 0 or 1

0 = Start/Stop

1 = Tap Tempo

Under the  0, Start/stop setting

 Push Z to start the internal clock; push it again to stop the clock

 

Under the  1, Tap Tempo setting  

Push Z five times to start the clock (i.e. a one bar count-in in 4 time). Hold Z for 2 seconds to stop the clock. While the clock is running, you may continue to tap Z to correct or change the tempo.
