Instruo glōc
Clock generator/processor: 1-in, 7-out with spread, probability, and programmable lock states
4 HP Eurorack module
glōc is a clock generator and processor that converts a single clock source into seven related clock pulse outputs. Each output can be independently assigned divisions or multiplications from the base tempo, with probabilistic masking for rhythmic variation. Three operating modes — Lock Programming, Regular, and Live — allow curating fixed patterns, performing with locked grooves, or responding dynamically to knob and CV input.
Controls & Jacks (16)
- Spread — Sets the spread of clock divisions and multiplications across the seven outputs. Center = quarter notes at base tempo. Left reduces spread,
- Spread CV In — Bipolar CV input (-/+5V) that sums with the Spread knob position.
- Probability — Introduces random or repeating phrasing density to outputs. Center = 100% probability. Left of center adds coin-toss logic for random phrasi
- Probability CV In — Bipolar CV input (-/+5V) that sums with the Probability knob position.
- PWM — Controls the pulse width of all clock pulse outputs globally. Counterclockwise decreases pulse width, clockwise increases it.
- RST In — Reset input. A trigger or gate signal resets the internal counter for clock divided/multiplied outputs and resets the 8-step pattern to step
- CLK In — External clock input for setting tempo. If the time between successive clock signals is variable, the module smoothly transitions between te
- Tap Tempo — Manual tap tempo button. Press twice to set a new tempo. Blinks white at steady tempos, amber while transitioning, and off-white when an ext
- Out 1 — Clock pulse output 1. With Spread centered, outputs sixteenth note triplets.
- Out 2 — Clock pulse output 2. With Spread centered, outputs sixteenth notes.
- Out 3 — Clock pulse output 3. With Spread centered, outputs eighth notes.
- Out 4 — Clock pulse output 4. With Spread centered, outputs quarter notes (base clock).
- Out 5 — Clock pulse output 5. With Spread centered, outputs half notes.
- Out 6 — Clock pulse output 6. With Spread centered, outputs whole notes.
- Out 7 — Clock pulse output 7. With Spread centered, outputs dotted whole notes.
- Mode — Three-position toggle. Left = Lock Programming Mode (set and store per-output values). Center = Regular Mode (normal operation with locked s
