Clear all thread locals to defaults

clear

All settings such as the current synth, BPM, random stream and tick values will be reset to their defaults. Consider using reset to reset all these values to those inherited from the parent thread.

Introduced in v2.11

Example

# Example 1

use_synth :blade
use_octave 3

puts current_octave    
puts rand              
puts tick              
at do
  use_synth :tb303
  puts rand              
  clear
  puts "thread"

# The clear reset the current synth to the default
