Here’s a big ol’ video on it, going through all the different sections of the instrument and pairing it with some other stuff (and a few different patch examples):

Does anyone know, can this device send cv clock out?

It does not have a clock, you are tapping in envelopes and trigs to create something unique and organic.

Those tapped patterns can be reset with an external clock, to get the beginning of the phrase in sync. However, can also trigger it externally via the many inputs on the front (there are also CV inputs on the back). Or you hijack the outputs and trigger other things by the Antilope’s sequencer.

Thank you for your knowledgable and helpful response!

Naive about cv clock signals and standard instrument design in modular and semi modular world, i wondered if there was some kind of equivalent to what would be “thru” in midi world.

Sounds like not but perhaps not so many like instruments would have that either.

However your reply also acquainted me with further ways the unit works and I appreciate very much!

You can input Midi for clock, but there’s also a CV clock input. The latter one can of course be send to something else with a simple splitter or stackable cable :wink:

And you can do weird things like send one of the Antilope’s sequencer triggers into a divider or [the triggers] as clock into an euclidean sequencer and get crazy results :wink:

That is such an awesome idea. I’m very intrigued with these kinds of possibilities as I dip my toes into semi Modular equipment. Thank you!
