Clock Divisions can be mixed
at the Bus outputs using the
eight three-position switches
on the left hand side of the
module. Put the switch in the
left position to send a clock
division to Bus1, put the switch
in the right position to send a
clock division to Bus2.
Poly-rhythmic patterns are easily generated
with Rung Divisions through the built in eight
input OR gate buses. Mixing clock divisions
that do not share a multiplication factor (fig.
2) makes poly-rhythms. Mixing clock divi-
sions that share a multiplication factor (/2,
/4 or /3, /6 for example) will have no effect.
The Bus outputs also share the pulse width
of the incoming clock, and can generate
PWM sub-harmonics at audio rates. Organ
like tones are also possible when sending
the Bus outputs to a tracking low pass filter
and changing which sub-harmonics are
present in the mix. At sub-audio rates the
bus outputs can drive multiple voices or be
used as accents.
Prime number divisions behave like an inter-
ference pattern as they shift forwards and
backwards in time against non prime pulses
in a pattern - this effect is audible when lis-
tening to the Bus outputs at audio rate - mix
/2 and /5, or /7 to hear the interference from
the prime count pulses against /2.
