Yes, when I was writing my first post that occured to me to. I'll try it. Also gonna try with a MacBook...

Another thing to check when using clock dividers is that some are what I call "mathematical" dividers and some are "musical" ones. I don't know which the Pamila's is. A Musical one produces clocks on the downbeat where as the math versions go on the number of clocks. Since I can't attach a graphic I will try and explain it this way:

If you are looking at the divide by four out of a Math version, the out will be like this:
0ne-two-three-FOUR-one-two-three-FOUR-one-two...etc.

on a musical one it would be:
ONE-two-three-four-ONE-two-three-four-ONE-two...etc.

When you reset a Math one all the outs go LOW, when you reset a Musical one, all the puts go HIGH. This makes a lot of difference when clocking rhythms against each other. A Math one will always seem off.

Some customers mentioned that such a "musical" clock divider would be
helpful. We have the prototype of a new clock divider A-160-2 available
which has two three-position toggle switches available that allows to select
one of nine different operating modes. Apart from that it's very similar to
the existing A-160: two inputs (planned for clock and reset) and 7 outputs
with LEDs. Currently we are about to find out which would be the best nine
modes.

Here is the link to the (hidden) front panel picture:
www.doepfer.de/A160_2.gif. The labelling of the switches is just an example.

The hardware of the module is already finished. It will be available as soon
as the nine modes are defined and the corresponding firmware is programmed
(probably late summer/fall 2014).

Best wishes

Sorry - I forgot to copy the picture to our webspace. Now it's online.

Finally uneven divisions! Thanks Dieter!
Any idea when this will be released?

And a little comment because you mentioned the software isn't done yet:

Devision by 9 would be a nice one to include i.m.o.
