@ -17,6 +17,21 @@ The uClock library API operates through attached callback functions mechanism:
4. **setOnClockStart(onClockStartCallback) > onClockStartCallback()** on uClock Start event
5. **setOnClockStop(onClockStopCallback) > onClockStopCallback()** on uClock Stop event
## Set your own resolution for your clock needs
1. **PPQN_24** 24 Pulses Per Quarter Note
2. **PPQN_48** 48 Pulses Per Quarter Note
3. **PPQN_96** 96 Pulses Per Quarter Note
1. **PPQN_384** 384 Pulses Per Quarter Note
2. **PPQN_480** 480 Pulses Per Quarter Note
3. **PPQN_960** 960 Pulses Per Quarter Note
To generate a MIDI sync signal and synchronize external MIDI devices, you can start working with the resolution of 24PPQN, which aligns with the clocking standards of modern MIDI-syncable devices commonly available in the market. By sending 24 pulses per quarter note interval, you can ensure effective synchronization among your MIDI devices.
If you are working on the development of a vintage-style step sequencer, utilizing a resolution of 96PPQN is a fitting option to initiate the coding process. Then you can use onStepCallback call which corresponds to a step played, note or event.
Furthermore, it is possible to utilize all three resolutions simultaneously, allowing for flexibility based on your specific requirements and preferences.
## uClock v2.0 Breaking Changes
If you are coming from uClock version < 2.0 versions pay attention to the breaking changes so you can update your code to reflect the new API interface:

If created a device using setClock16PPQNOutput only you just change the API call to setOnStep. If you were dependent on setClock96PPQNOutput you might need to review your tick counting system, depending on which PPQN clock resolution you choose to use.

## MIDI Examples
Here a few examples on the usage of Clock library for MIDI devices, keep in mind the need to make your own MIDI interface, more details will be avaliable soon but until that, you can find good material over the net about the subject.
If you dont want to build a MIDI interface and you are going to use your arduino only with your PC, you can use a Serial-to-Midi bridge and connects your arduino via USB cable to your conputer to use it as a MIDI tool [like this one](http://projectgus.github.io/hairless-midiserial/).
If you don't have native USB/MIDI support on your microcontroller and don't want to build a MIDI interface and you are going to use your arduino only with your PC, you can use a Serial-to-Midi bridge and connects your arduino via USB cable to your conputer to use it as a MIDI tool [like this one](http://projectgus.github.io/hairless-midiserial/).
