Swung clock with MI Stages

Just a little patch idea for you lot Smile

this takes three stages segments and a mult/stackables - one looping ramp segment (which will be our clock) and two normal step segments.

The looping ramp should be a square LFO (pot all the way clockwise), then adjust the time to taste - think of the time between hits as the time from the first to the second beat of a swung rhythm.

Send its output to the two steps' gate input (i recommend using stackcables/sending it through a mult first, otherwise you'll need to do that later) and patch the steps' output to the LFOs time CV input.

Turn the steps' pots down all the way (so there's no slew time), turn the first one's fader all the way down (so every "first" step isn't affected) and adjust the second one to taste - dialing in a nice swing can be a bit hard, but you'll manage.

Now the LFO's output will be a nice swung clock, which you can send to other modules using a mult or stackcables. Have fun Smile

I sadly can't include a video example because I don't really have a means to record my synth in acceptable quality yet.
