Alexander Ewald walks through Bitwig Studio's HW Clock Out device, showing how to sync external modular gear and hardware synths to your project's master tempo. The device has two channels: Clock, which broadcasts your session's BPM to a connected module via an audio interface output, and Reset, which tells the module when to start or restart its cycle so it stays phase-locked, not just tempo-matched.
If your module has a reset input, connecting a second audio interface output to it and selecting that channel in the device is all it takes. When you hit play, the module runs in tight sync with Bitwig.
The device offers a range of adjustable parameters for different hardware setups: sync modes, clock versus gate signal type, time divisions, pulse length, and a manual trigger option. For latency compensation, placing HW Clock Out inside an HW CV instrument lets Bitwig auto-adjust the whole chain, or you can dial in an offset value manually.
