Don’s original design used a mechanical pin matrix, but in the 242t, we’ve replaced it with an LED array and X\/Y knobs, reminiscent of those found in vintage electronic games. This modern alternative improves long-term reliability and helps keep the module’s cost reasonable. The upper section includes multiple trigger and gate output combinations and controls. This module revisits early methods of rhythmical generation and introduces Don’s concept of a master clock, the “Pulser”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 242t can be externally clocked using the red “clk in” jack. External pulses can also reset the end stage using the red “rst in” jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“ALL OUT” sends out a continuous pulse train no matter what is programmed in the matrix.
