Product information "Doepfer A-160-1 Clock Divider"
The A-160-1 is a frequency divider for clock, trigger and gate signals, designed to be a source of lower frequencies, particularly for rhythmical uses. The available dividers are exclusively even numbers. Additionaly there is a reset input which sets all outputs to "zero".
The clock divider analyses an incoming clock and divides it by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64. Each divisor has a separate gate output and their activities are displayed with individual LEDs. A trigger impulse at the reset input zeroes the entire module.
WIth a long trajectory building synths, MIDI keyboards and designing bespoke devices for music pioneers Kraftwerk, Dieter Doepfer decided to design his own modular synthesizer in 1995 based on existing electrical and mechanical specifications of lab equipment he used during his years at university. The official presentation of the system at 1996 Frankfurt Musikmesse caught everyone by surprise and created lots of interest. After Doepfer published the specifications on his website, many instrument designers and engineers saw the potential of the new Eurorack format. Doepfer continues expanding their catalog of over 200 modules (and counting), operating from their modest offices in the outskirts of Munich.
