The Shakmat Modular Time Apprentice is a compact clock divider in 1U design with two independent divider values. Thanks to clock and reset input the module always behaves synchronously to a clock generator like a sequencer or an appropriately equipped MIDI to CV/Gate interface. While Divider 1 generates even and odd values in the ratio 1:1 to /8, Divider 2 generates only the even values from 1:1 to /128 in a much wider range. If you operate the module at the square wave output of an oscillator, you get a flexible frequency divider or sub-oscillator that provides plenty of boost in the bass range. Four jumpers on the back provide further options regarding trigger and reset behavior and linking of both dividers.
Shakmat Modular Time Apprentice (1U)great for having two sequencers running at different speeds to create more complex sequences. add a precision adder to add the two sequencers together and you get some very long evolving sequences :-)
I bought this module to use the clock-pulse out to trigger a kick-drum 4 times every bar but this module seems to output the clock-pulse slightly out of sync. It outputs the clock-pulse one 16th of a bar late so it starts other modules slightly out of sync.
I did find a hack for this by using an extra trigger input in that same signal-input line to move the out of place step to the desired place but this is far to much hassle to bother with. I can't imagine this was by design so it could be faulty, can't find much info on it online. Very disappointing.
