Doepfer

hi group,

maybe i'm being a bit dense here, but given that the interesting bit
of a clock signal is the "on" bit (pun intended), what are people
doing to divide their clock signals? 

the a160 clock divider alone won't do it - since each output starts in
the "off" state. so i need to attach it to a bank of != modules (i.e.
a module that reverses the state of the gate). i generally use an a150
vcs, which is fine if i only need two subdivisions of the clock.

if i don't need gates but triggers, the a161 may do it. although to
use several subdivisions at the same time i'll need multiples and gate
combiners.

resetting the a190 cv to midi isn't really a practical option. and
amyway, there are other clock sources to be divided.

all of these solutions need a lot of modules to do something that is
very simple and fundamental to clocking a modular.

analogue solutions' master clock module seems to have disappeared from
the catalogue.

so am i missing something here? is there a doepfer solution that's so
obvious that i can't see it? be it gates or triggers, i'd really
appreciate your thoughts and patches on this.

(and now with trembling hands i press the "send" button)
