"This is the Ultimate Syncing device (see below for list of manufactures it can be used with)
A must have for any analogue synth geek and collectors alike, run all your vintage gear in Sync .
I've not used for some time but just gave it a run through Linking a system 100 Sequencer with a Memory Moog+an Obie DX and a ARP 2600 and it performed as it should.

The Doctor Click can be driven by both steady and wildly varying sources, including click tracks, tape codes (Roland, Oberheim, Linn, etc.), synthesizer clocks, live drumming, or its own internal crystal-based clock.
The outputs consist of nine timebases (7 are fixed, two are variable), two rhythmically triggered envelopes or LFO's (12V, .5V), trigger, trigger to click converter, inverter, delay, start, and step programming functions.
The Doctor Click click has two separate channels for producing the two variable timebases each with its own set of rhythm selector switches. The first row of labels is the timebase interpretation (ie. how many clicks) and the second row is notation interpretation (eg. quarter note, eighth-note triplet, etc). While that might sound confusing, it should make sense when it's sitting in front of you. Channel 1 (four bars to 64th triplet) has Envelope 1, Gate, Time Lag, and the Auto Programmer. Channel 2 (1/4 note to 32nd note) has Envelope 2 and the headphone output (which can also be used as a second arpeggiator clock).

With its extensive masking features, it can be synced to audio such as drum loops or drum machines without clock outputs.
It also has recording & programming features that can store up to 1k of events.
The gates and triggers have adjustable pulse width, and can inverted for either falling or rising edge. The envelope outputs can be used as gates or additional clocks.
Inputs: Pulse, Tape Code A/B, Tape Code C, External Metronome Trigger, Inverter In, Delay In, Reset, Play, Enter
Outputs: 12X (Roland CR68/78, SCI), 24X (MemoryMoog, MXR), 48X (LinnDrum, Roland MC-4, E-Mu), 64X (PPG), 96X (Oberheim DSX, DMX, DX), 348X (Fairlight), DIN Sync (Roland x0xbox, Korg), Gate (5V/15V), Trigger (5v/15V), Trigger to Click, Time Lag, Envelope 1, Envelope 2, Headphone, Metronome, Inverter Out, Delay Out, 5V Start, Ground Start

Knobs: Channel 1 (PW, Attack, Decay, Amount, Gate PW), Channel 2 (PW, Attack, Decay, Amount, Headphone Level), Metronome Level, Delay Amount

On 11-Feb-11 at 15:42:37 GMT, seller added the following information:

Just want to point out my use of the unit was predominately getting various devices to talk but also the creativity & fun you can have with switching time bases i.e running a drum machine say at 100bpm and changing the clock time to the arpeggiators on my pro 600 and Memorymoog+or Jupiter 6 (or whatever you have), running at dbl the bpm or in division and then trigger LFO's on my modulars with different clocks etc so running items synced with division of X bpm there a lot to the Dr click and I have not really explored all its potential. I never had a manual until recently never needed it... a pdf manual comes via courtesy of L.Hammond thx Lorne :)"

Garfield Dr. Click Ultra Tight, legendary Analoge Clock

via this auction
Googlish translation:
"Measurements have shown that 128BPM are not equal 128BPM.
Each device has a more or less deviate from the ideal clock. That is why we like to choose the MPC2000 as a master in a composite of several Midi Clock machines.

Especially when MidiSequencing with a Win / Mac Pc, it is certain soon clear: the MIDI output wobbles and fluctuates around (clock jitter) by the adjusted value of BPM, however, rarely dwells on precisely this.

Garfield Electronics have already built in the 80s some very tight machine, also in BPM values below 80 durchmarschieren absolutely solid.

Output is analog trigger in all sizes and also in DinSync,
which can be easily converted to midi clock.

-2 Independent channels with unequaled rock-analog timing.
-Absolutely reliable master clock source for synth purists
Extreme Swing and Shuffle Grooves realized by commingling of different types of 2 stroke.
-Ideal in analog modular applications."

"Clicks are produced in 24 frames per second calibration for American and European film scoring when the VIDEO switch is off. United States models will operate in 30 frames per second calibration for video scoring when the VIDEO switch is activated. European models produce 25 per seconds calibration when the VIDEO switch is on.

Tempo in the selected calibration is set thru the three digit rotary switch assembly which indicates tens of frames, frames and 8ths of frames. Additionally, click rates of 1/16th or 1/32nd frame resolution may be specified by the +1/16 and + 1/32 switches. When either or both of these switches are active, the tempo indicated by the rotary switch assembly is augmented by these frame values.

To sync the internal metronome place all sequencers and drum machines in Play mode. All instruments will commence to play upon the beat which follows the pressing of the DOCTOR FLICK PLAY switch. To stop, press the PLAY switch again.

To synchronize to a click track on tape, activate the SYNC switch, connect the click from tape to PULSE IN, and set DOCTOR FLICK tempo controls to match tempo. PLAY switch will cue in or out on the beat as with internal sync operation, and the START switch will cue in or out immediately.

The metronome is started or stopped with the START switch. Optionally, the metronome can be started by application of a pulse of at least 0.7 Volts to the front or back panel EXT TRIG input.

Click output is available at both front and back panel OUT jacks. Loudness is set by the LEVEL control. Both outputs are low impedance and can drive headphones directly.

Sequencers and drum machines are synchronized thru their Clock or Sync inputs by connection to the appropriate DOCTOR FLICK output.

To create individual triggers from audio, connect audio source to PULSE IN jack. Connect TRIGGER to arpeggiator, gate, or individual drum trigger inputs. Adjust audio input level for compatibility. Plug all the way into the TRIGER jack to obtain rising edge triggers, half way for falling edge triggers.

This device can be switched for AC power sources from 115 to 230 Volts.

The cap of the Level-rotary is missing as well as the LED of the PLAY switch."

Garfield Electronics Digital Click

via this auction
"Metronome clicks are produced in 24 frames per second calibration for American and European film scoring while the VIDEO switch is off. Activating the VIDEO switch will select 30 frames per second calibration for American video scoring when the internal jumper plug is located to the “30” position, or 25 frames per second calibration for European video scoring if the jumper is in the “25” position.

Tempo in the selected calibration is set thru the three digit rotary switch assembly which indicates tens of frames, frames, and 8ths of frames. Additionally, click rates of 1/16th or 1/32nd frame resolution may be specified by the +1/16 and +1/32 switches. When either or both of these switches are active, the tempo indicated by the rotary switch assembly is augmented by these frame values.

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."
