    Brilliant! Only Soma would make a sequencer without a master clock. I love Vlad's unconventional approach to gear.

    Ornament 8 is a creative and inspiration powerhouse, even though it may look intimidating. One thing to mention is that you can sync it with an external clock so you can use it as part of a larger setup with a separate master clock. The 8 part tutorial series that Soma put out goes into detail on it (Video 5 I think?) I would definitely say that this is a must have Soma device that doesn't get the love it deserves. Thanks for putting this video out! It seems not many people have much on this sequencer so it's great to see people making content with it!

    @@PhilippeGiron Super easy! Just plug a 3.5mm cable from an external clock into one of the 3.5mm converters, then use the corresponding alligator clip and connect to the trig in. You now have an external clock. You just don't do the trigger loop like before. You can also use the pulsar clock alligator clip and just patch that directly to a trig in if you want to use the Pulsar as a master instead of a different clock source. Let me know if you have any issues with getting it work. :)

    Great point on the master clock synch. That's something I suspected should be possible in theory, but hadn't tested out specifically yet. Glad to hear that it's straightforward!

    @@StephenMcLeod Yup! Super straight forward. You'll notice a little difference in how certain patches work since you're no longer looping, but with a little tweaking on the patch, you can get it back to how it was originally working.
