Is it possible to divide the external clock by odd numbers? I don't see it in the existing code, but is it even possible to do, if I learn how to program? I asked about dividing down DIN to analog synth level clock, but the din out will always be an odd number of pulses. Analog clocks need a pulse per event, so like, four or 8 or 16 pulses per measure.. not 6 or 24, etc. I can always make an analog divide by 3 module. Or, I can just use a trigger output, and set it to send a pulse whenever I want. I guess it's not really a big deal. And second, would it be possible to have the menu button disable the encoders? I was planning on using the 16 gp encoders w/ buttons in one, before I read a post about accidentally changing values when pressing them. So far, I haven't found a reason to turn the encoders at the same time the menu button is pressed. Thanks

I'm having a really hard time locating knobs, and really just about any panel hardware, in the USA. YES I did search.. Ive been reading this for the past 5 hours. So, Mouser had ONE knob in their catalog that met my specifications. 6mm D shaft, and NO pointer. I go to the web site, and it's marked as OBSOLITE Jameco and Newark have no 6mm shaft knobs listed. None of the surplus stores that I know of have any either. I can't find the nice button covers that TK used on his button/led matrix anywhere. Nothing even similar. I also can't find vero wire anywhere in the US. Does anyone know where I can find the knobs, or any of these things in the US? I'm not new to this stuff. I've been building synths and other electronics projects for over 10 years. It seems like every year that goes by, the selection available to hobbyist in the USA gets smaller and smaller and smaller. It is almost non-existent now! i hate this place. -I should add that a large part of my frustration comes from the fact that there were 4 great electronics stores in my city, and they've all gone out of business in the past 5 years.

Sorry to bring this post back, but I did search and search again! I even translated the German catalog and looked up the part to see if I could find the same manufacturer at Mouser or jameco or something. So, does anyone know where to get clear button covers in the U.S.? And I did see the hard plastic ones from a us distributer in another post. I like the rubbery ones TK used. Thanks

Thanks a lot!! I didn't think the 2nd row of encoders would be an option, but it was worth checking. It will still be easy to get to everything w/ the four track buttons. I can't wait to get started. I'm ordering parts now.

Hello, Ive got two questions that I didn't find the answers for while searching. One is in the title, can I have encoders for more than one track? I'd like 2 rows of encoders to control 2 tracks. Then also the led switch matrix for the triggers. (It's for an analog modular, so I want to keep w/ the whole modular theme of having an accessible control for each voice I am using) My 2nd question is, is it possible in the software to divide down the clock going to the DIN/Sync output to a synth level clock (which would be 4 or 8 clicks per measure... then I can divide down from there w/ my analog divider to trigger things periodically in a song. Then I guess I should add, are these things possible in the existing software? I've gotten good with analog circuits, after building my modular for the past several years, but microprocessors are totally new to me. That zip file of the software scares the ship out of me :) I read a post from the builder of the original switch matrix about how he is surprised that people want it bad enough to make all those solders. I've got to say, it looks like a piece of cake! It would take that many solders just to make an LFO or something in the analog world!! Thanks for your help
