via Loscha:"Hey all, I had a few spare moments moving workshop/studio, so I took a few photos of the TQ5 for you all. I had a few more minutes at the end, so for a giggle, I got some sticky labels, and put them all over the machine so you can read what's what. A bit different to just scanning the layout page on the service manual. Also, I scanned and labeled a little corner of the manual to indicate where I tapped a Click Output. The TQ5 has a Metronome function. It is always full volume (it's post volume control), and it's only in the left channell. My very simple mod, as illustrated below, changes that. I just dropped a socket into the side (lots of room, jack is actually from a busted Rx5 - those things are a mineable source of good switched sockets), but you could use anything. It's not a Clock pulse, but an audio feed. You could take a clock pulse of sorts by taking signal from output of the first gates, and buffering, but it would only be 1/4 notes, and although that would have been useful on analog gear, this has true BPM control. I more use the output to lay down a seperate click track to play along with, even if just to have a meter flashing a light in time."
