Fancyyyyy Rung Divisions
Probabilistic shift register, clock divider & noise source
12 HP Eurorack module
Rung Divisions is a complex poly-rhythmic gate generator built around a universal shift register, a divide-by-n pulse divider, analogue noise, and several logic and binary operations. Designed by Fancyyyyy in collaboration with Rob Hordijk and Ken Stone, it synthesises an array of predictable and unpredictable digital signals at arbitrary time scales. The shift register can shift data in both directions, with voltage control over pattern direction, length, and chance of looping. Built entirely from solid-state discrete logic (no microcontrollers), it operates from DC to 40kHz, making it equally effective as a sophisticated sequencing tool and a complex noise oscillator.
Features
- Universal shift register with bidirectional data shifting
- Seven integer divide-by-n clock dividers (/2 through /8)
- Dual gate bus with eight three-position routing switches
- CV control over pattern direction, length, and loop chance
- Three CV outputs: 1-Bit gate, 3-Bit DAC, 8-Bit DAC
- Contrapuntal encoding: 3-Bit and 8-Bit move in opposite directions
- Analogue noise source output
- Fully solid-state discrete logic -- no microcontrollers
- Operates from DC to 40kHz bandwidth
- Clock pulse width preserved on all gate outputs
- 8 shift register status LEDs
- Write switch for manual data injection
