Hello there,

I stumbled upon a couple of problems while experimenting with oscillators.

I wired native one with 7.3 one through a 2-position key. When I switch between them the image freezes. If I reset the boy - it works fine with either crystal.

Another problem I'm trying to penetrate is how does GB synchronization works (via link cable I mean). If I try to sync underclocked guy with the normal speed guy - what happens?

I wonder do I need both LTC1799 and switchable x1/2 and x2 crystals. If synchronized boys need to have the same *exact* frequency, then switchable crystals may come handy. Thanks!

the slave DMG gets ticks from the master and follows those ticks.
So it doesn't get a BPM number and plays at that speed, that would cause the DMGs to work at a different speed.

Basically, a halfclocked DMG slaved to a normal DMG running at 120 BPM will receive ticks like it's playing at 240 BPM

so they will run at the same speed, but don't use too much tables wink

I see, so it means that having both LTC and switchable clock is pointless...
Thanks! smile

Actually no, we're talking about ticks, but if I want two boys syhcned and with the same exact tone, switchable clocks are a go.
