Note that there is a MOTM VC Pulse Divider lurking in the wings...heee heee

and it blows the sorry Serge out of the water. Will be shipping in late
April.

Firstly, 'grats on the mods working.  'Nuff said.  ;)

Secondly, pardon my ignorance, but what's a APRC, BLOG, and / or CMX / AMX?

--PBr, thanks!!

I think I can help with that. An APRC is an "Anti-Proton Rail Cannon," a
Blog is a large semi-sentient hunchbacked reptile from the planet Ksarscis,
CMX is the CorelTrace file format, and AMX makes bicycles.

Hope this helps.

(Frankly I was going to dig out my dusty Serge catalog and look these up
myself.)

APRC= Active Processor
BLOG= Boolean Logic
CMX= CV Mixer
AMX= Audio Mixer

Well, I'm sure there is at least one guy on this list who'll really like this 
module. I seem to remember about a year ago some loudmouth would post lengthy 
diatribes regarding VC Division, claiming to use several of these to control 
sequencers (resets, up/down, random, etc.) and synching up several different 
voices amongst other uses. 

I wonder who that was?

Er... my heightened levels of expirience once again shine through... what
exactly does a pulse divider do?  I can't quite figure out if its intended
to work on CV or gate / triggers, although Paul S. said it could be used on
audio.

(Incidently, if the levels put out by the CMOS are 0V - +5V, can't you send
that to an op-amp that goes 0V to +10V, then bias the results by -5 V?  Hm,
and I thought that typical MOTM audio levels were +-10V?)

--PBr, scratching his head, as per usual...

A couple of pulse divider uses:

1. When sequencing rhythmic stuff, one typically uses a LFO as a clock for
the timed pulses. Feed the clock into a pulse divider, and set it to divide
by 3, 4, 6, 9, etc. to get other pulses which can be used to gate other
things in precise rhythm.

2. Run audio into a pulse divider and get not just suboctaves, but any
musical interval.

I was about to ask the same question myself.

10 volt peak to peak.

And get several of these outputs simultaneously, and they can be used to 
create complex rhythmic patterns (like those cute little humans often do) if 
you switch between them.

This second part isn't true with integer division, and non-integer division 
(I won't say real, but you know what I mean) would be very difficult to do -- 
I have no idea what the MOTM will do.
