Clock multiplier / divider / beatshift
The original code by a773 (atte.dk) (released under the GPL licence) provided alternate firmware for the ginky synthese grains eurorack module.
This has now been extended to provide a general purpose clock multipler / divider / beatshift code for use as a synthesiser module.
Hardware
This module runs on an Arduino (tested on an Arduino Nano). It expects four potentiometers as controls
(pins defined by MULT_POT, DIV_POT, MODE_POT and BEATSHIFT_POT). It takes a clock as input
on the CLOCK_IN pin and has two trigger outputs - SHIFTED_OUT and UNSHIFTED_OUT (the latter
identical but without the beatshift applied).
Operation
The module can operate in two modes:
- Simple mode: Multiplies or divides by factors of two (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...)
- Complex mode: Multiplies or divides by prime numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 11, ...)
The mode can be selected by moving the mode knob to the left or right side. A range of output tempos can be produced by combining multiplication and division, especially by using complex factors. The beatshift knob can be used to delay the trigger from the beatshifted output by up to one beat.
