This is a really great trick. Getting the switch to lock to external clock is the "missing link" . Right now I have it switching in stereo via the clock out on my 1027 sequencer. Nice! There are a few odd things about the B2600. The Internal Clock out is also an input as well as the square wave LFO out is an input too. You learn something new every time you work with this. Great fun. Certainly not in the manual and Behringer would deny that this worked at all. Thanks for your clever experimentation. Really appreciated. Cheers
I'd also really like to know how to do this. How can I send the a sampled Lfo square pulse one cycle to the INT CLOCK from Ableton clock? Could I use a beatstep or my uad interface?
hello, I think this is pretty much what I'm trying to do. can you explain how you sync'ed the clock to an external tempo? what are you sending to the "ext clock in"? I'm trying with an 808 rimshot audio and it's not working.
If I send a square pulse wave from ableton sampler or drum rack to my audio interface output into the EXT CLK IN will that do the trick? (uad apollo 8 dc coupled outputs)
hello! Thanks for the info... one question, it works but still everytime the "rate" of the S/H "jumps" it affects the circuit no? (electronic switch etc) any idea why is not pluggin it in all of it? thats a bit messy for behringer no? i mean, you have to be really careful the jack doesnt move because it gets out of connection
Hey, do I get that right, that you sync the sample and hold clock of the 2600 to an external source? I'd like to sync it with my mc707. I could output some kind of individual audio signal from one 707 channel to the EXT CLCK in of the 2600. What kind of signal would I use? Claps? Would be so cool if I could do that. And if I'd double the number of claps (or whatever) = double the speed?
In that demo, I used a sampled Lfo square cycle. The reason was that you can rhythm better. You can also use the 2600 gate out at the left. But, then you are tied to a note pattern. Of course you can also try having a drum machine, rimshot could work. "And if I'd double the number of claps (or whatever) = double the speed?" = Yes.
Cool. So you sample square LFO from 2600 and send it back out through audio out (1channel). Unfortunately I have only mpc one so need to check whether this can be done.
Sure you can take electro switch syncan also 2600 gate out -> Ext Clk in. In this case, sync works according to the midi note which is the same as the note gate. Of course, you can get a better control if you take it from a separate track. Then the sync is completely under control and you can do extra tricks.
Normal separate output output 5 or 6. The advantage of a completely separate output is that you can use a variable clock. In other words, you can rhythm S & Hold however you want.
The sole reason I bought the 2600 was to achieve this with the s&h! however I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to clock it to ableton/send a LFO square pulse to the EXT INT CLOCK ;/ I have an arturia keystep which has pitch and gate CV outputs - however I just can't figure it out! Can anybody please help?
Have you solved it? I have the same hardware and haven't explored the syncing abilities between them that much yet. But a couple days ago i f-ed around with trying to sync the 2600 clock to the keystep or my rd-6 (those two were already synced together on the same clock) but i didn't succeed. :-/ The 2600 has two obvious clocks, right? The S&H clock with all the clock inputs and outputs that seems very obvious and user-friendly when looking at them. Then you also have the LFO that doesnt seem to have a clock-input but it does have gate and trigger outputs. My first thought was doing something like this: Use the LFO as my main clocksource and send a gate/trig signal to the S&H clock input and then use the S&H clock out to connect the other hardware i want on the same clock. That way my drum-machine, keystep and both clocks on the 2600 would use the same clock. My thought was that it would be fun and a easy way to explore the possibilities when they all use the same clock. I didn't get it to work at all though. Rd-6 and keystep was working together fine but i didn't get the 2600 to cooperate with the others at all. I tried everything i could think of, trying with the 2600 both as master and slave and i tried the 3,5mm sync ports, the midiports and i couldn't even sync the lfo with a beat. I really didn't get anywhere with it but i wont give up 😊. It's probably very easy and obvious when i figure it out. The only tip i have for you is to remember the software for the keystep and all the settings you can change there. I have to connect my keystep to my computer and change some settings whenever i switch between using it with my modular and my ms-20 for example. The gate-settings are different and different synths needs the keystep set up differently. If i use keystep with my modular and then try to connect it to my ms20 it wont work at all because the gate works backwards so whenever i press down a key the ms20 gets silent. Very confusing if you're not aware about the gate-setting you have to change 😊. It's possible that there is a similar issue for me with the 2600. I dont know. Yet... Your comment was made a month ago though so i guess you are past this already? In that case, how did you do?
I got this to work by setting the keystep to external sync mode with the switches in the back. I then sent the keystep a clock signal to its sync in port and connected the clock out of the keystep to the EXTCLKIN on the 2600, pushing it in half way as described. Everything worked. I haven't tried with an external midi clock, only gates but it should work

Very cool thank you 🙏🏻
Love this. Reminds me a smidge of early Front 242
Any idea how you could do this with Ableton Live and Motu midi express 128?
I'd also really like to know how to do this. How can I send the a sampled Lfo square pulse one cycle to the INT CLOCK from Ableton clock? Could I use a beatstep or my uad interface?

😆 he he nice video
I think Pete Namlook did this on this track: ruclips.net/video/e-Dma_qWrn0/видео.html
Epic track. 👍😎👍
