couldn't follow that (are the dots zeros ) but this...

...is what i mean. all gates (or trigers) are on when the start order
comes. if the clock is sending 16ths, then the /2 output is sending
8ths etc.
why would this need a lot of hardware the /2 output passes the first
click it gets, ignores the second, passes the third. the /4 output
passes the first and fifth etc. if a device is designed to go high on
the first trigger and low on the second, then all you need is a chain
of these devices, with a tap after each one for the relevant output.

bakis, a delay wouldn't help - are you maybe referring to that other
thread (a190 and sync)

florian's suggested clock module is more than i need, but i would most
certainly buy it.

i assume, then, that there is no simple solution
