I picked up a 4MS Rotating Clock Multiplier last week and I've been experimenting with its pretty wild clock functions. It's a couple of square waves with variable PWM, envelopes being triggered by an SQ-1 sequencer and an external Earthquaker Transmisser (modulated reverb pedal) is sent through the auxiliary sends of the sub mixer.

The RCD (it is divider isn't it??) was one of my early clock modules and still have it!

Gotta love PWM.  So many sweet spots and variance.  Very enjoyable.  Kind of like an angry reed organ or something.  Hehe.

Thanks! Nope, this is the Multiplier version of the module. I picked up a second hand one via Found Sound for cheap. Thought I'd give it a try out with my setup. I will eventually settle on a divider (probably the 4MS) sometime soon. The rotating/slip functions are so cool! Lots of swing and slippery possibilities!

Lining up a bit of listening catch up on here wink ...looking forward to hearing what you've produced over the past weeks!

Yes, I have both and both are very underestimated modules.  I thought it was the RCD and SCM though?  Unless there's a variation I didn't know about.  The analog hands on is great if you have the expander modules too.

Hope you enjoy!

I have always wanted to try the transmisser this makes me more intrigued, cool sounds.

It's a funny old pedal. On the one hand, as a guitar effect I've found a bit constraining, since I'm always at a loss for a useful purpose. However as a modulation effect (e.g. quivery reverb tails, colouring sound) it's pretty interesting.
