The Rotating Clock Divider takes clock signal and outputs a different division on each of the 8 output jacks (Jack 2 is divide by 2, Jack 3 is divide by 3, Jack 4 is divide by 4, Jack 5 divide by 5... up to divide by 8). A "Rotate CV" input modulates what division each jack outputs, which is like re-patching the jacks simply by applying a CV (so for example Jack 2 becomes divide by 3, Jack 3 becomes divide by 4, ... Jack 7 becomes divide by 8, Jack 8 becomes divide by 1).

This video starts with a Clock input, then three drums are plugged in so we hear a time signature of 2 over 4 over 6, then 3 over 4 over 6, then 1 over 4 over 6. Next, a CV is applied to the Rotate CV jack, changing the time signature without modifying the clock speed.

One of the drums has a photocell on its filter (not visible in the video), so you can hear some pitch modulation as my hand's shadow crosses it."

4ms Rotating Clock Divider - Reset Demo

"In this video, we're running a steady clock into a Rotating Clock Divider module and running outputs 2, 3, and 7 into drum modules. Output 8 goes to a second clock divider, and at first it's divide-by-1 output goes to the Reset of the first module. (so we have a 2 over 3 over 7 with an 8-count reset). Then its divide-by-2 output is patched to the Reset of the first module (so we have a 2 over 3 over 7 with a 16-count reset). Then the reset patch is removed and just a single module is used as 2 over 4 over 8. In this state, a CV is applied to the CV Rotate jack, making all kinds of different time signatures..."

4ms Rotating Clock Divider - AUTORESET

"This video shows the auto-reset feature.

This particular module has a removable jumper on its PCB that tells it to reset the count every 16 clocks. So the weirder divisions (3/5/6/7) stay in tempo, since they come back around every 16 beats. We start with divide by 2, then add divide by 3, then add divide by 4. Then we change the divide by 2 to a divide by 1. Then we apply a CV to the CV Rotate jack and change the patching of divisions to jacks."
