Clocking alternatives
#3
I regularly clock my modular using audio from my MPC live. I use one output for clock and another for reset.
Record a single click, normalise it so that the smaple is at the maximum amplitude and then make a short track that repeats and has the click on every step. If you want to go straight into the Nerdseq, then I think that you would need to have 24 clicks per quarter note.
Don't timestretch the sample, as that could introduce artefacts or reduce spikes at the leading edge of the pulse. I also have the MPC output set to maximum volume to make sure that it reaches/exceeds the voltage thresholds that the modular requres. Your clocking channels from Bitwig will most likely need to be set to full volume, but you can gradually turn them up to see when it starts working reliably..
AC coupled audio interfaces aren't an ideal solution for this, but I have always found that they do work for the short blips that are needed to clock a modular.
