My earlier comment was unclear. The MOTM-730 in fact synchronizes the TRAILING edges of output pulses rather than the LEADING edges. Therefore, if multiple outputs are simultaneously used to trigger notes, the beginning of notes will not be synchronized. For example, if I input 48 clocks per measure into the '730, and look at the the /6 and /3 outputs to get eighth notes and sixteenth notes, the leading edges of the outputs will be offset from each other (as per the signal output jpg available on the MOTM website). As synchronizing the "start" of notes rather than the "end" of notes was important to me, I found this to be a problem. Others may not. This problem is entirely independent of the setting of the clock polarity switch. And yes, inverting all 16 outputs would solve that problem, but then, how to synchronize the "start"? There's no reset to zero function that would allow the first output pulse from every output jack to come out in synchronization with the first input pulse.
It was not my intention to turn this thread into a MOTM-730 bashing thread. I encourage everyone to come up with ideas for new products for Paul. I then encourage Paul to work with several beta testers to ensure the broad appeal of products at the early prototype stage.
