Keep your modular system in sync with the 4ms Quad Clock Distributor, a four-channel voltage-controlled clock divider/multiplier module in Eurorack format. The QCD is a versatile head-of-the-chain master clock with master tap tempo. Each channel can be synced to the tap tempo, to the channel above, or to an external clock. Each channel also has a reset jack.
Use the Tap Tempo button to establish an interval, while five synced clock outputs generate complex rhythmic patterns. Go even further by patching multiple channels into each other's Reset and Div/Mult CV inputs. The QCD ships with a ribbon power cable and mounting screws.
Clocking Functions
- Four CV-controlled Clock Divider/Multipliers
- Tap tempo button and five sync'd clock outputs make the QCD perfect for head-of-the-chain "Master" clock module
- Tap clock output runs at the tapped tempo (even if other channels are being clocked externally)
- Create complex rhythmic patterns by patching multiple channels into each other's Div/Multi CV and Reset
- Each of the four channels has an independent clock IN, OUT, Reset and Div/Multi CV
- Divide or Multiply incoming clock from ÷32 to x16 on each channel:
- Detented knob to snap to integer division/multiples
- CV jack to modulate Div/Mult amount
Advanced Features
- Reset jack (per channel) restarts the clock when a trigger is received (alters phase of clock)
- Clock input jacks are normalized top to bottom: Tap → Red → Black → Blue → Green
- Clock outputs stop automatically when incoming clock stops
- LEDs blink to output clocks' tempos
- 5V clock output pulses, fully buffered. Default is square-wave, and PW is controllable with expander
- Daisy-chain multiple QCDs or other clock modules using Tap Out jack
- Header on the PCB to connect to Quad Pingable LFO (QPLFO) to provide four CVs that can be skewed, and CV envelopes that can be divided or multiplied
- Interfaces with QCD Expander for more features (Pulse Width, Inverted Gate, attenuverters for CV inputs)
