Patch to test korg volca synchronisation via PLL object


#1

This patch uses two custom axo objects. A very simple PLL frequency multiplier object to get 16 steps per bar from a volca 2ppq sync and a BPM object to check the volca speed. The PLL object works but still needs some tweeking.

  • faster initial phase lock
  • better handling of fast volca speed changes
  • general code improvements

Thanks for theses useful objects.
But I would like to keep my audio input free. Is there a way to sync my volca bass to Axoloti board using an analog input ?
I'm newbie with electronic...

@JeromeB
just use gpios like with a switch as described here:

It's really easy and works in both ways either receiving or giving clock.
Tried this with the Volca and it's also a great way to sync analog delay pedals that have tap tempo input.

Thanks, but I don't understand which schematic to use. Should I use the "bipolar-input-3.3v.png" schematic, in order to adapt volca clock output signal to analog gpio input ?


#5

Hmmm I just went straight to the Gpio, repurpusing the headphone jack like:
Tip: Gpio (Pa0)
Sleeve: VDD
(Ring ist left empty since it's a mono jack)

Will the voltage from the Volca be problem @johannes?
