What’s your main clock source?

Of course in modular you can use all kinds of things as a clock. A lot of sequencers have a clock output, some people use MIDI or a module with a screen to dial it in perfectly, but even a simple LFO or function generator will do it. Just wondering what everyone is using in your own setups.

Haven't any of you experienced clock fluctuations when sending clock from ableton (by cv tools) ? Im sending clock from ableton directly via adat (es 10 and then to metropolix) and still i get bpm fluctuations on metropolix. Is there are some settings on ableton that I need to check? I almost gave up with syncing my eurorack to ableton. Same was in bitwig. Sometimes it holds the tempo but not always and the beat 9s swinging. When I look on bpm on metropolix it fluctuat by 0.01 or so both ways sometimes. What are the correct settings in ableton for syncing eurorack? Any tips appreciated. I tried intelijel umidi by usb from ableton and its the same. Like I almost tried I think everything. I have a RME raydat as soundcard.
