Garfield Electronics Clock Delay

via this auction
"Description: The Clock Delay compensates rhythmic offsets caused by clock response time differences between various makers of sequencers, drum machines, arpeggiators and synthesizers. Each channel´s ROTARY control sets delay time in 2 milliseconds steps which are continuously variable with the FINE control.

To adjust the “feel” between two instruments of differing response times, clocks to the instrument with faster response are delayed to rhythmically align the audio output with that of the instrument with slower response time. In this way, the feel between the instruments can be made to “push”, “lay back” or be “on top of the beat” as desired.

CLICK, CLOCK and TRIGGER output types are produced with rising or falling edge polarity to meet the clocking requirements of all instruments. Use CLOCK output type when delaying sequencer or drum machine clocks, CLICK output type for delaying audio click tracks and TRIGGER output type for arpeggiators , individual drum trigger inputs or the synclavier.

Both channels produce 2 millisecond CLOCK output type when a plug is fully inserted to the input jack. When inserted half way, Channel A produces 10 millisecond TRIGGER output type, and Channel B produces 650 microsecond CLICK output type. Both channels produce rising edge output when a plug is inserted fully into the OUTPUT jack, or falling edge output if the plug is inserted half way. Most instrument clock inputs are rising edge. When in doubt, experiment.

To obtain longer delay times, the channels may be cascaded by connecting the output of either delay to the input of the other. This device will operate on AC power sources ranging from 100 to 250 Volts."
