For Four
This ReTunes module for VCV Rack separates a clock input into 4 beat outputs (1234). It also features two digital pattern gates (AB)and three adjustable clocks (XYZ).
The A and B outputs can be set to one of 256 different output patterns. These are generated by using the pattern number as a binary mask on the current clock count.
0 matches every beat so gives a constant high output. 255 only matches the 256th beat and would output low the majority of the time. Experiment with low numbers to find a pattern you like, then raise it to a power of two to use over bigger periods.
The pattern is restarted when a reset trigger is received.
pattern 1 matches every 2nd beat
pattern 2 (1 * 2) matches beats 3 & 4
pattern 4 (1 * 2 * 2) matches beats 5, 6, 7 and 8
pattern 3 matches every 4th beat
pattern 6 (3 * 2) matches beats 7 & 8
pattern 12 (3 * 2 * 2) matches beats 13,14, 15 and 16
Patterns 12 and 24 are the defaults for A & B respectively.
Each of the X, Y and Z outputs can be adjusted to count a number of beats before sending the next trigger.
When reset each counter will output a trigger for the next clock signal received before restarting their count.
X defaults to 8, Y to 16 and Z to 32.
Dragging a cable from a CV source will show the inputs in place of the knobs.
Feeding "For Four" something other than a clock may make it misbehave in useful ways.
