Clock divider vs clock multiplier
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Asking a noob question after searching all over the web for modules as I build my system, which currently consists of all the basic components to build a 3-osc Moog-style mono synth voice. Say I’m interested in producing techno type music on my modular system. I am musically trained so my natural instinct is to set a clock module to 120-140 bmp (4/4) time so I need a clock multiplier with a 2x output to get 8th notes and a 4x output to get 16th notes. </p> <p>Based on what I’m seeing in the widely available modules, clock dividers are much more prevalent than multipliers. Why is this? Are multipliers inherently less accurate?</p> <p>Does this mean that most people (making techno in eurorack) are setting their clocks to 480bpm and dividing to get 8th and quarter notes?</p> <p>What would be the ideal clock multiplier/divider I should be looking at?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/m2guru"> /u/m2guru </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/ut3zyh/clock_divider_vs_clock_multiplier/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/ut3zyh/clock_divider_vs_clock_multiplier/">[comments]</a></span>
