It might be interesting to have a more powerful Master clock module
that could be used to drive S&H's or other modules.

It would be nice to have a clock that could output a variety of
subdivisions, like 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, etc, via individual jacks.
You'd have a rate knob, and then outputs with clocks at various
subdivisions.

That way doing things like running a couple of S&H's with 3 pulses
against 4, in sync, would be a piece of cake.

For rhythmic music, having a powerful clock controller seems like it
would be more useful than having multiple less powerful internal clocks.
