hi Sean,
the A100 mini-schaltwerk module will not have an on-board clock divider.
(unless i miss something )
thanks,
Bakis.

How about clock divisions for 2,3,4,5,6,7, 8
instead of the usual/easier 2,4,8,16,32 This
would be musically MUCH more useful and it would
be easier to avoid the clichéd Tangerine Dream
style sequencing.
