yes, that would be great. does anyone make a VC divider

as an experiment i tried setting up a similar self-modulating loop
using the 113 as a divider whose output drives the 155. i'm very
pleased w how it works..

joe, i remember you saying you didn't have a 113 but i'll go
ahead and relay this anyway in case any 113/155 users are
interested...

send midi clock to 113, 113 output to 155 clock input. on the
155, send trig 1 and 2 to trig delay to transform them into gates.
then run the outputs of these gates into the 113 foot cntrl 1 and
2.

now you can change the divisions of the master clock by
selecting a new mixture (w gate switches from 155), so a step
length can be changed as a result of a new momentary clock
division value (this feeds the 155, controls speed). sort of like
having a cv divider but not really.

the 113 will change the division values (thus 155 clock values)
according to presets (selected by gates) so the values jump
when selected instead of changing continuously, works great for
holding out steps or making some steps quicker. it takes some
experimenting to get the phrase to add up to say, an even 8
counts before repeating.

all we're really doing is speeding up and slowing down the 155
to make it seem like some steps are longer or shorter. it will
remain in sync and responds to tempo changes but it's tricky
keeping the phrases aligned when playing around.

also, the 113 has 4 discreet divisions available at once so i'm
sure you could use a 147 to good effect modulating something
else while in sync, even at a different speed.
