You push the button and the audiowerkstatt din-restarter v2 starts or stops the following sequencer at the beginning of the next bar (4/4-stroke only) in perfect timing. If the sequencer is running, it will be stopped at the next bar and if the sequencer is standing, it is started at the next bar.

The device operates as a standard in "Sync24"-mode (24 clock pulses per quarter note). By holding the button when switching on, the device is started in "Sync48"-mode (48 clock pulses per quarter note).

More details can be found in the manual and there is a video here.

The audiowerkstatt din2midi2din v2 has a MIDI- and a DIN-sync-output and on both outputs a clock-signal is sent at the same time. With a button you can select, if the clock-signal present at the DIN-sync- or the MIDI-input is used. A LED indicates the selected input.

The device operates as a standard in "Sync24"-mode (24 clock pulses per quarter note). By holding the button when switching on, the device is started in "Sync48"-mode (48 clock pulses per quarter note). All settings will be saved and restored at startup.

The audiowerkstatt midi-clock-divider v2 divides the MIDI-clock of the MIDI-master, whereby the MIDI-slave runs correspondingly slower.

The division-ratios are 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, ..., 1/8, 1/9. If the division-factor 1/1 is selected, the MIDI-clock is simply passed through. With the division-factor of 1/2 the MIDI-slave runs at half the speed. So 16ths-notes will be 8th-notes and the loop is twice as long. Very useful to double the loop length of the MIDI-slave (eg MIDI-sequencer or [audio-]looper). When using the division-factor 1/8 and an originally one bar long loop runs over 8 bars.

And good for experimental musicians, especially if an odd division-factor is selected and MIDI-master and slave seem to be not in sync, but from time to time come together in perfect sync. You can also set whether only the newly created MIDI-clock and mmc commands (start, stop, continue) are sent or the, at the MIDI-in incoming data, will be mixed with that. All settings will be saved and restored at startup.

More details can be found in the manual and there is a video here.

The audiowerkstatt midi-clock-multiplier v2 multiplies the MIDI-clock of the MIDI-master, whereby the MIDI-slave runs correspondingly faster. The multipliers are 1x, 2x, 3x, ..., 8x, 9x. If the multiplier 1 is selected, the MIDI-clock is simply passed through. With the multiplier of e.g. 2 the MIDI-slave runs at double speed. So 16ths-notes will be 32th-notes.

Very useful if you have a very slow song and want to add a new fast track to it, which is faster than the master-clock. And good for polyrhythmik - especially for experimental musicians - if an odd division-factor is selected and MIDI-master and slave seem to be not in sync, but from time to time come together in perfect sync.

You can also set whether only the newly created MIDI-clock and mmc commands (start, stop, continue) are sent or the, at the MIDI-in incoming data, will be mixed with that. All settings will be saved and restored at startup.

The audiowerkstatt midi-clock-shifter v2 helps you to move your MIDI-slave as many MIDI-clock-ticks as you want forward or backward, while running in synchronisation to the MIDI-master. A 7-segment-display shows the direction and number of MIDI-clock-ticks, the MIDI-slave has been moved.

A tool, for on-the-fly correction of a MIDI-slave, that is not reliable or to push a loop, that is not recorded in a rhythm, to that rhythm. And a tool to have fun with playing around with two sequencers and do things like e.g. going slightly forward and backward with one of them.

You can set whether only the MIDI-clock and MMC commands (start, stop, continue) are sent or the MIDI-data, received at the MIDI-in, will be mixed with that.

All settings will be saved and restored at startup.

You push the buttom and the audiowerkstatt midi-restarter v2 sends a MIDI-start/stop-message at the beginning of the next bar to ensure that all following MIDI-devices run in the correct timing.

There are 3 modes of operation:

1. At the beginning of the next bar, a MIDI-stop-message and immediately after that a MIDI-start-message is sent. In this mode, a standing sequencer is restarted and a running sequencer is "pushed" into the correct timing. This mode does not work with all MIDI-devices as some devices require a short break between MIDI-stop- and MIDI-start-message. For these devices, the second mode can be selected.

2. A short time before the next bar starts (one MIDI-clock-message=1/24 quarter-note), a MIDI-stop-message is sent and then at the next bar a MIDI-start-message is sent. In this mode, a standing sequencer is restarted and a running sequencer is - after a very short break - "pushed" to the correct timing. This mode corresponds to the first and is intended for MIDI-devices that require a short break between MIDI-start- and MIDI-stop-message.

3. If the sequencer is running, a MIDI-stop-message is sent at the next bar and if the sequencer is standing, a MIDI-start-message is sent at the next bar. In this mode, a standing sequencer is restarted and running sequencer is stopped at the next bar.

It can be switched between the time-signatures 4/4 and 3/4. You can also set whether only the newly created MIDI-clock and the MMC commands (start, stop, continue) are sent or the MIDI-data, received at the MIDI-in, will be mixed with that. All settings will be saved and restored at startup.

If used as trigger-clock-to-MIDI-clock-converter or MIDI-clock-to-trigger-clock-converter, there is always a MIDI-clock-signal (incl. start/stop) sent at the "midi out"-jack. At the tip of the "clock"-phone-jack, an analog trigger-clock-signal (v-trigger: 0v/5v, s-trigger "open"/"closed") is sent. The tip of the "start/stop"-phone-jack is 5v while the masterclock is running and 0v while the masterclock is paused for v-trigger and "closed" while the masterclock is running and "open" while the masterclock is paused, if s-trigger is used. A clock-source can be connected to the "midi in"-jack or to the ring of the "clock"- and "start/stop"-phone-jack.

Normal insert-cables can be used to connect the analog inputs/outputs. If only the analog outputs are used, normal phone-jack-cables (mono or stereo) can be used.

The following parameters can be adjusted:

1. clock-source (MIDI-clock or analog trigger-clock).

2. Trigger-type of the analog input (s-trigger or v-trigger).

3. Trigger-type of the analog output (s-trigger or v-trigger).

4. Clock-divider of the incoming analog trigger-clock (1/4, 1/8. 1/16 or 1/32).

5. Clock-divider of the outgoing analog trigger-clock (1/4, 1/8. 1/16 or 1/32).

6. Pulse-length of the outgoing analog trigger-clock (adjustable in 6 steps, the pulse-length is calculated dependent on clock-divider and clock-frequency).

In addition to the clock-signal, start-/stop-signals from the masterclock are detected and processed, but it it also possible to send start-/stop-signals manual.

The settings for the analog output (trigger.type out, clock.divider out and pulse.length) can be changed without losing synchronisation, while the masterclock is running.

The audiowerkstatt trigger2midi2trigger v2 can also be used as a tool for analog-trigger-signals, if it isn't used as a converter.

The following uses are possible:

a) „S-trigger“ to „v-trigger“ converter

b) „V-trigger“ to „s-trigger“ converter

c) Analog clock-divider

d) Analog clock-multiplier

e) Gate to trigger converter

f) Trigger to gate converter with adjustable gate-length

All settings will be saved and restored at startup. More details can be found in the manual.
