Connecting the KO II to external gear.

Eurorack & Analog 16' Clock
This is an analog trigger. It's equivalent PPQN is 4.( ie four pulses per quarter note
or 1⁄4 the duration of a quarter note.)
It's also called 16th because a note is sent or received every 16th note.

enter system settings by pressing (shift) and (erase).
use (minus) and (plus) to navigate to the sync settings, then press (enter) on the pads.
use (minus) and (plus) to navigate to ‘in’ or "out", then hit (enter). 
use (minus) and (plus) to navigate to ‘16’, then hit (enter)

The K.O.II will now listen for or send out  a 16 clock pulse on it’s sync-in/out jack, 

The clock pulse is I think 5V

Pocket Operator, Korg SQ-1, Volcas (8' clock)
(POs sync on audio pulses... essentially a click track).
