Manufacturer's description
This module was very much inspired by Arthur Ganson's "Machine with Concrete". This fabulous sculpture involves a motor driven chain of reducing worm drives, ending with the last shaft set in concrete.
After building clock dividers for a couple of Arp 1613 sequencer clones, it seemed that it might be fun to chain some ripple counter chips to take the divisions a little further.
When the module is used as a clock divider, it can be useful as a method of generating timed events that happen occasioanlly, or very occasionally.
The module can be used as a sub oscillator if a clean audio rate wave is fed into the clock input. The input can be any repeating wave shape, and will produce a series of square wave outputs, each one octave below the other.
Feeding other audio sources (drums etc) into the clock will produce crunchy lo-fi oddness from the outputs.
Patching white noise into the clock input produces a series of increasingly filtered noise sources at the outputs.
A clock signal input at a frequency of 1Hz causes the last LED to flash about once every 34 years. Chaining two modules with 1Hz in the first input causes the last LED to flash after around 37 billion years. 3 modules = around 39 quintillion years, 4 modules = around an undecillion years (1,329,227,995,784,920,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
The clock input can however respond to frequencies up to around 18kHz, creating a good range of useful activity across the outputs.
Features and controls
CLOCK IN: Accepts any audio or CV voltage crossing a threshold of around 1V.
RESET IN: Resets when the leading edge of a gate or trigger is detected.
MANUAL RESET: Push button to reset / hold.
OUTPUTS: 30 in total, each at half the frequency of the previous.

Shipping methods
All EU orders are shipped via UPS. We offer two service levels:
- UPS Standard – our default shipping option. Delivery times vary by country (see estimated delivery times below).
- UPS Express Saver – next business day delivery to most EU destinations.
Each product page shows the estimated delivery time for your location, so you'll always know what to expect before you order.
Estimated delivery times (Standard shipping)
The times below are estimates in working days from dispatch, based on UPS Standard service. Express Saver delivers by the next business day to most destinations.

| Sweden | 3–5 |
These times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delivery may occasionally take a little longer due to customs processing, local conditions, or carrier delays.
Dispatch times
Orders placed before 15:00 CET (Central European Time) on a working day are normally dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 15:00 CET, or on weekends and public holidays, will be dispatched on the next working day.
If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
