Module A-160-2 is an enhanced version of the standard clock divider . The module is a frequency divider for clock/trigger/gate signals, designed to be a source of lower frequencies, particularly for rhythm uses. The Clock input will take any digital signal from, eg., an LFO, MIDI sync, or the gate from a MIDI-CV interface. At the outputs, you have access to three sets of seven different sub-divided clock signals, from half the clock frequency down to 1/128. The low/high levels of the output signals are 0V and about +10V.
The A-160-2 also has a reset input. Whenever a reset signal is sensed, all outputs are set to certain levels which depend upon the selected mode.

These are the most important features of the module:

• Three different sets of dividing factors, selected by a three-position switch at the front panel:
  

  • power of two: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128

  • prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17

  • integer: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

• Two output modes, selected by a two-position switch at the front panel:
  

  • Gate mode: outputs act like the outputs of typical binary dividers

  • Trigger mode: in this mode the outputs are AND-wired with the clock signal (i.e. the clock pulsewidth affects the pulsewidth of the outputs)

• Clock edge type selected by a jumper on the pc board:
  

  • positive: the rising edge of the clock signal triggers the state change of the outputs

  • negative: the falling edge of the clock signal triggers the state change of the outputs

• Reset behaviour by two jumpers on the pc board:
  

  • level triggered: the level at the Reset input triggers the Reset

  • edge triggered: the edge of the signal at the Reset input triggers the Reset

  • positive: a high level (> 2.5V) or the rising edge at the Reset input triggers the Reset

  • negative: a low level (< 1 V) or the falling edge at the Reset input triggers the Reset

• Output polarity selected by a jumper on the pc board:
  

  • positive: non-inverted outputs

  • negative: all seven outputs are inverted

The sketches show the behaviour of the outputs for the different modes:

Note: It will be not possible to connect the  to the A-160-2 as the conception of the A-160-2 is totally different compared to the  with it's fixed binary dividing.
