Clock Div is a two-way clock divider and multiplier, using a single clock source. It can divide from 1:1 to 1:8, and multiply from 2:1 to 8:1. Each channel can be set from the panel, or via CV.

Controls

  • Digital Ins: Digital 1 clocks the divider/multiplier, and Digital 2 resets the divider
  • CV Ins: Bi-polar voltage sets the division or multiplication for each channel
  • Outputs: A/C outputs triggers for the top section, B/D outputs triggers for the bottom section
  • Encoder Push: Changes cursor between top and bottom sections
  • Encoder Turn: Selects the division or multiplication for the selected section

Division works by counting clocks and sending a trigger on the _n_th clock. When the encoder is turned, the counter is reset.

Multiplication works by counting interrupt cycles (c) between the last two clock inputs, and sending a trigger every c/n cycles.

CV inputs are bipolar, with a range of about -2.5 volts to about 2.5 volts. Positive values set clock division, and negative values set clock multiplication. There's a small center detent CV range, over which range control is only set from the panel. This is done because O_C can't sense whether a jack is patched.
