clock divider

[Yoshiki Ohmura (Yoshi)]

OK I gave it a shot, and tried to use the 4017 chip to divide the 24ppq
signal from sync.  I basicaly chained 5 of them together to get me 1/16,
1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1/1 notes.  However that totaly bombed :( maybe it has
something to do with the way these chips switch to logic 1 or something?
Actually i have no idea.  has anybody succesfully built a clk div with
these chips?  Or are there better chips out there to do it with?  Another
thing, I layed a 4017 out on my breadboard to experiemnt with it, by just
sending the logic signals to different led's, to see how that worked.
Then i took my SH-101 (only thing  have that sends gate) and used it as an
input.  after a couple passes through the sequence, I would notice that
the chip would crash, until I reset itb by turning the power off.  Any
ideas of why that was happening?

thanks for the help

Cheers
