Using Time Assistant as Event Triggers

[Steve W]

When remaining time has reached zero, alarm field will start blinking and a 5 volt signal is sent from it’s output jack until alarm is confirmed by clicking onto CONFIRM button or a trigger pulse at confirm input jack is received.

I am starting to explore the use of Time Assistant to trigger sequencer events as part of a larger project. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Intuitively, I set a target time and wired the alarm to a sequencer's start. That did not start the sequencer. So I then wired the alarm to a CV meter to look for the 5v signal. There was none.

OK. I just randomly started changing things and the Time Assistant Alarm gave me 5v.

OK. Got it working (triggered the sequencer to start). COOL!!!!!!!! Making more plans now.

SET Button is a toggle: (1) Press once to set target time. This also turns pause on. After setting target time (2) Press a second time to activate (which turns the pause off).

TIP: Wire Alarm to Confirm to turn off 5v start trigger automatically.

Phase 1 result/use: Time Assistant # 1 starts sequencer [used as a test event]. Time Assistant # 2 stops sequencer. SUPER COOL!!!!

Thanks for this multi-purpose module.

NOTE: The above used date mode. Countdown mode requires some different steps.

Looking forward to using CVs to program/automate time-based switching.

Hello Steve,

I'm really surpriced by the way you use Time Assistant. That is a purpose, I didn't think of yet. Thanks for showing it in this forum.
