Voltage controlled frequency divider with divisors ranging from 1 to aaproximately 20. Even odd divisors are possible! It has a manual control for changing the divisor factor and CV input with polarizer (attenuator / inverter). The output signal is a square wave.
A jumper at the PCB selects hether the module works DC-coupled (jumper set) or AC-coupled (jumper removed). For dividing slow signals below audio range (e.g Clock, Trigger, Gate, square LFO) the module needs to be DC-coupled. For dividing audio signals the AC-coupled mode is recommended.
The module is really great for dynamic, voltage controlled frequency division of audio signals which produces very interesting harmonic structures.
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.
