Some customers mentioned that such a "musical" clock divider would be
helpful. We have the prototype of a new clock divider A-160-2 available
which has two three-position toggle switches available that allows to select
one of nine different operating modes. Apart from that it's very similar to
the existing A-160: two inputs (planned for clock and reset) and 7 outputs
with LEDs. Currently we are about to find out which would be the best nine
modes.

Here is the link to the (hidden) front panel picture:
www.doepfer.de/A160_2.gif. The labelling of the switches is just an example.

The hardware of the module is already finished. It will be available as soon
as the nine modes are defined and the corresponding firmware is programmed
(probably late summer/fall 2014).
