The clock divider is "funny-looking" as in the simple form, has no pots
(only jacks) and switches.

You have an INput, that is set with a LM311 for 2.4V switchpoint (TTL
compatible). Then, probably
a little Xilinx pre-programmed 44 pin FPGA with symmetrical dividers from 2
to 10. A switch
to set outputs from 0-5V or +-5V   (TTL mode or waveform mode). Or I could
get fancy and have
a symm/non-symm function. In non-symm, you get 1 pulse out only at the
divide rate. In symm, you get a 50%
duty cycle square wave at the divide rate.

So, it's like half of a '120 with individual outs.

The circuit is simple: a LM311, the Xilinx part (PLCC in a socket) and 2
quad op amps, 9 jacks, 1 switch. 1U wide.

The lag can be simple or complex, depending on price and the skill of the
designer.

I may have VC-Q on the Moog filter if it doesn't muddy up the sound too
much.

Errr......don't hold your breath.
