Well, believe it or not, you can get some interesting 
pseudo-random 1 to 2 divisions from runing a square wave into 
a 165 trigger modifier.

Try this at home:  

Run a sub-audio square wave into a 165 and use the +/- out to 
fire an envelope that's gating a sound.  notice that sometimes it 
will fire a pulse on both the rising and falling edge of the square, 
(like the owner's manual says it should), but sometimes it won't.  

What this gives you is random half steps in an otherwise metric 
(boring) pattern.

wires from the pins of C7 (marked 'C7 2u2' between the big 'PIC' 
chip and the front plate) to a simple on-off toggle switch mounted 
on the front panel. When the switch is open, the module 
performs as normal (dividing audio signals etc.), but when 
closed it bypasses C7, allowing 0-5V pulses from the divided 
input to be output unadulterated (which are fine for feeding into 
A-160 etc.).
