Hi Scott,

Funny that you would ask this question, because I was thinking about  
it while using my Metalbox-built divider/logic just yesterday. I make  
heavy use of the divider in conjunction with a burst generator, gated  
comparator, and sequential switch for triggering events in the  
percussion modules in my modular. I have 6 4-way mults in that  
section of the modular, but it seems that they're always full. If it  
was up to me, I'd take the divisions that I thought I'd use a lot  
like 2, 4, and 8 (maybe 3 and 6?), and install 4 outs for each of them.
