Hi everyone!

Until now I have been syncing my DFAM through CV-Tools in Ableton.
My favorite way of doing this is by using a clock source on RUN/STOP (CV-Clock Out) and then a separate "rhythmic" gate on TRIGGER (i.e. any drum pattern generator) which allows me to extend the sequence to as many bars as I like.

Now I have bought an Arturia MiniBrute 2S which can send several gate signals, making it a great companion to the DFAM.
As in Ableton I want to use the clock of the MiniBrute to sync the DFAM and then send gates to the trigger.

Now I am noticing that the gate is not activating the trigger but interestingly the same signal will advance the sequencer when plugged into RUN/STOP

So basically:
Gate -> Trigger = DFAM does not respond / i.e no sound
Gate -> RUN/STOP = DFAM sequencer silently moves in the pattern of the gate

the DFAM manual says that both inputs accept a 0V - 5V Gate (+10V Tolerant)

Can anyone explain the difference to me? Why does the trigger not react to the same gate that RUN/STOP reacts to?

Thanks for your time! Excited to hear your discussion!

Hi,

Trigger input will only cycle the envelope generators. It will not advance the sequencer or any other state changes.

Adv/clock input will advance the sequencer only if the sequencer is in run mode.
