DivSkip – Manual

DivSkip is a 4 channel Trigger / Gate processor for Eurorack. Eight modes on four independent channels make this 8HP module a Swiss Army Knife to chain behind clock utilities, trigger sequencers, logic modules, and LFOs.

It processes their output to overlay rhythmic patterns, randomness, chance, speed ramps, ratchets, or variable gate lengths. A / B outputs allow you to stack multiple modes of logic processing by self-patching the module.

Toggle switches and Click-to-Mute knobs facilitate an immediate, improvisational workflow. The visualization on its LED rings keeps it intuitive and easy to understand.

DivSkip is the first module collaboration between UK musician and video creator DivKid and Making Sound Machines, a duo of synth makers from Düsseldorf, Germany.

You are reading the web manual for DivSkip, which takes an in-depth look at the modes and ideas behind the module.

DivSkip comes with a printed quickstart guide as well. Here you can find the PDF version.

DivSkip requires a -12V / +12V Eurorack power supply. Connect the 2x5 pin header on the back to the bus board of your Eurorack case using the included ribbon cable.

The red stripe on the ribbon cable needs to match the Red Stripe mark on both DivSkip and bus board.

The power consumption is:
+12V 45 mA / -12V 15 mA

DivSkip has four identical channels. Each one operates independently and can be set to one of 8 modes, processing a trigger input into a pair of trigger or gate outputs A / B.

The knob is a push potentiometer.

Click it to mute the channel output.
Turn it to fine tune how the channel behaves, adjusting a parameter for the currently selected mode.
Hold it for 2 seconds, then release, to To enter mode selection, press the Knob for 2s, then release. Point to one of the 8 modes, and confirm with a click.

You can automate the knob setting with CV. The Control Voltage you plug into the jack (range: -5V - +5V) is added to (or subtracted from) the baseline value you set using the knob (center is 0V).

Trigger Inputs 1 to 4 are normalled. Any input you plug into Channel 1 is duplicated to the channels on its right. If you plug a second signal into any other input (Channels 2 to 4), it breaks that connection and in turn its signal is duplicated to the channels on its right.

Trigger Outputs A / B are a pair of trigger or gate signals, 0 to 10V level. They are the result of the processing on their channel, and depend on the mode their channel is set to.

The Knobs at the top are used to adjust the parameter for its channel 1 - 4. What that parameter does depends on the mode the channel is set to. Please refer to the chapter on each mode for a description.

You can also automate the knob values using CV.

The Control Voltage you plug into the jack (range: -5V - +5V) is added to (or subtracted from) the baseline value you set using the knob.

Here are some use cases as an example:

Without CV, you get the value set by the knob. Think of it as 0 - 5V.

If you provide a negative CV, it is subtracted from the knob value, and is limited to a minimum value of 0V. If you plug in a positive CV, it is added to the knob value and is limited to a maximum value of 5V.

If you plug in a unipolar LFO or envelope, it is added to the knob value and is limited at a maximum value of 5V. If you plug in a bipolar LFO, it modulates the signal around the knob value.

Using a step sequencer, you can set individual values and use the knob as an offset.

DivSkip lets you select a mode of operation for each of its four channels. To select a mode, press and hold the Channel Knob for 2s, then release. The LEDs on that channel will display a multicolor pattern divided into 8 segments, with the segment corresponding to the active mode highlighted.

As long as the original segment is highlighted, a short press will return you to the previous mode. Turn the knob to highlight any other segment, then short press the knob to confirm your mode selection.

In Mode Selection menu, each of the 8 colors represents one mode:

● ●	Red	Bernoulli Gate (Weighted Probability)
● ●	Orange	Clock Divider
● ●	Light Green	Turing
● ●	Pink	Euclidean Split
● ●	Cyan	Euclidean Classic
● ●	Blue	Ramp / Gate Length and Delay (coarse)
● ●	Violet	Retrigger / Gate Length and Delay (fine)
● ●	Green	Pattern

DivSkip lets you mute the Outputs A and B of each of its channels. Simply short tap and release a knob to set a channel to enable or disable mute.

When mute is enabled, the LED ring switches from the Mode display to a solid color (either cyan - M1 or orange - M2).

M1 - cyan#

DivSkip has two sets of Mutes, labeled M1 (cyan LEDs) and M2 (orange LEDs) that can hold a Mute setting for all four channels.

This is a great tool for live improvisation, allowing you to create two states on the module and switch between them for variation, or transitioning into another part of a track.

Each of the four channels on DivSkip has a Trigger Input and a set of two Outputs A and B.

The input takes a trigger or gate, and processes it once it detects a rising edge. A and B then output the processed signal, depending on the Mode that the channel is set to.

The Trigger Inputs are normalled, so any input you plug into Channel 1 is duplicated to the channels on its right. If you plug a second signal into any other channel, it breaks that connection and in turn its signal is duplicated to the channels on its right.

The leftmost switch lets you set whether the Outputs return a trigger or gate. This setting affects all channels globally. The LED indicators A and B below the knobs display whether an output is set high (LED is on) or low (LED is off).

Trigger Mode#

A rising edge on the Trigger input of the channel produces a 5ms trigger on either Trigger Out A or B.

Gate Mode#

A rising edge on the Trigger input of the channel sets the output high, and keep it high until the next event occurs. Two consecutive events going to the same channel result in a gate length spanning two steps.

A Bernoulli Gate (Weighted Probability) takes an incoming trigger and determines, by means of a coin toss, whether to output it on Trigger Out A or B.

To enter mode selection, press the Knob for 2s, then release.
Point the knob to Mode 1, and confirm with a click.

The knob position sets the bias, or how likely the coin toss is going to result in A or B respectively.

The LEDs show the distribution of the expected outcome.

Will always result in A	● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
Often results in A, occasionally B	○ ○ ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

Occasionally results in A, often B	○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ○ ○
Will always result in B	○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

In the middle position, at 12 o’clock (four red and four blue LEDs are active), you get an equal distribution of A and B results.

Equal distribution of A ● and B ●

○ ○ ○ ○ ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ○ ○ ○ ○

The events still occur in random order, so don’t expect the event to alternate from left to right. Rather, if you were to note down each coin toss over a certain amount of time, you would approach a statistical distribution of 50% each.

Turn the knob all the way counter clockwise (only red LEDs are active) and the coin toss always results in A.

If you turn the knob clockwise (blue LEDs are being introduced), you increase the chance of the coin toss resulting in B.

The Clock Divider mode lets you define how many trigger inputs are required for one trigger output to occur on Trigger Out A or B.

To enter mode selection, press the Knob for 2s, then release.
Point the knob to Mode 2, and confirm with a click.

One output every 4 inputs	● ○ ○ ○
One output every 8 inputs	● ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

The knob position sets the clock division, and splits the LED display into the number of steps it takes for Channel A (red) and Channel B (blue) to produce a trigger.

A highlight for each Channel (orange for Channel A, and Cyan for Channel B) shows you when the next output is going to occur.

Set the knob to the middle position, 12 o’clock (eight red and eight blue LEDs are active). When the knob is centered, both dividers are eight steps long.

Apply a regular sequence of triggers to the input. You get an output on the first step, with the highlighted step on each side progressing towards the Channel A and B indicators.

A ● 1 output every 8 inputs B ● 1 output every 8 inputs

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● | ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Once a loop is completed, the highlights reset to the start of the sequence, and a trigger occurs on Trigger Out A and B.

Turn the knob counter clockwise (fewer red, more blue LEDs are active) and the number of steps required to output a trigger will decrease for Channel A, increasing the steps necessary to output a trigger on Channel B.

In this example, Divider A is 4 steps, and B is 12 steps long.

A ● 1 output every 4 inputs B ● 1 output every 12 inputs

● ● ● ● | ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Turn the knob clockwise (more red, fewer blue LEDs are active) and the number of steps required to output a trigger on Channel A will increase, shortening the sequence for Channel B.

Here, Divider A is 11 steps, and B is 5 steps long.

A ● 1 output every 11 inputs B ● 1 output every 5 inputs

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● | ● ● ● ● ●

Turing Mode combines a shift register noise generator with control over loop length and the randomness of newly introduced steps, as made popular in Eurorack by Tom Whitwell (Music Thing Modular) and his fantastic DIY module, the Turing Machine.

This Mode emulates aspects of the original module, with simplified controls and a focus on Trigger / Gate generation as opposed to a CV output.

To enter mode selection, press the Knob for 2s, then release.
Point the knob to Mode 3, and confirm with a click.

The LEDs help you determine the length of the Loop (dimly lit red background) - and whether a step is set (highlighted in red) and produces a trigger at Channel A, or not set and produces a trigger on Channel B.

A trigger on the input right-hand shifts the sequence by one step.

The knob position determines the way in which Turing Mode operates.

When the knob is centered, the sequence is 16 steps long. A plays lit steps, B plays dimmed steps.

8 steps set in a loop of 16

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Knob under 12 o'clock: Set length of sequence#

The knob range from counter clockwise to 12 o’clock lets you set the length of the Loop, ranging from 1 - 16 steps.

The sequence in this range is locked, introducing no changes to the sequence and copying the outgoing step back into the input of the sequence.

7 steps set in a loop of 12

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● | ○ ○ ○ ○

There is one exception: with the knob set all the way counter clockwise, Turing mode will set the looping step high, and always produce a trigger.

Knob over 12 o'clock: Gradually more random#

Starting at 12 o’clock and progressively increasing all the way to fully clockwise, the knob position determines how likely it is that an incoming step is randomly flipped.

Introducing random steps

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

It lets you introduce a bit of random at the beginning, and a completely random sequence turned all the way up.

Once you find a sequence you like, set the knob to noon to lock it at 16 steps, or further counter clockwise to shorten the loop.

The Euclidean Split Mode works similar to Clock Divider Mode in that you set a length for sequence A (violet background) and sequence B (blue background) using the knob.

A Euclidean Rhythm with three steps (A: pink, B: cyan) is then distributed on top of that length. A highlight advances through the sequence (A: bright pink, B: bright cyan) to show the current step.

To enter mode selection, press the Knob for 2s, then release.
Point the knob to Mode 4, and confirm with a click.

Set the knob to the middle position, 12 o'clock (eight violet and eight blue LEDs are active). Three steps (A: pink, B: cyan) are set on each side, both loops are 8 steps long. The pattern is a 3:3:2 clave.

The playheads move from the middle (split) towards the A / B LEDs.

A ● 3 steps, length 8 B ● 3 steps, length 8

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● | ● ● ●● ● ● ● ●

Turn the knob counter clockwise (fewer violet, more blue LEDs light up) and the loop length decreases for Channel A, leaving more steps to complete for Channel B - with the active three steps automatically redistributing according to the Euclidean algorithm.

A ● 3 steps, length 6 B ● 3 steps, length 10

● ● ● ● ● ● | ●● ● ●● ● ● ● ● ●

Turn the knob clockwise (more violet, fewer blue LEDs are active) and the loop length for Channel A increases, leaving a shorter sequence for Channel B.

A ● 3 steps, length 11 B ● 3 steps, length 5

● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●● | ● ● ● ● ●

In this mode, apply a regular sequence of triggers to the input to produce cool clave-like rhythms. Adjust the loop length using the knob.

The Euclidean Classic Mode makes use of the fact that steps (numerator) over length (denominator) make up a fraction, which can often be simplified (reduced).

To enter mode selection, press the Knob for 2s, then release.
Point the knob to Mode 5, and confirm with a click.

Patterns which can be reduced into another yield the same musical result: 4 steps over length 16, 2 steps over length 8, and 1 step over length 4 all sound the same in a loop, one trigger every four steps.

4 steps over length 16	● ○ ○ ○ ● ○ ○ ○ ● ○ ○ ○ ● ○ ○ ○
2 steps over length 8	● ○ ○ ○ ● ○ ○ ○
1 step over length 4	● ○ ○ ○

This is equally true for more complex patterns. Here is one example:

8 steps over length 12	● ● ○ ● ● ○ ● ● ○ ● ● ○
4 steps over length 6	● ● ○ ● ● ○
2 step over length 3	● ● ○

With the maximum step length limited to 16 steps, you can eliminate a large number numerator / denominator combinations and be left with the most interesting patterns.

In this mode Channel B gives you the inverse pattern of Channel A. This means A plays green steps, B plays blue steps. White denotes the length of the pattern.

5 steps set in a loop of 8	● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● | ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
Output loop for A ●	● ○ ● ● ○ ● ● ○
Output loop for B ● (inverse)	○ ● ○ ○ ● ○ ○ ●

Moving the knob from counter clockwise to clockwise, you find a range of patterns increasing from length 4 to length 16, each with a number of variations on how many steps are set within that sequence.

The longest pattern are 5 steps over length 16.

We selected the most musically interesting patterns from length 4 through 16 to come up with the 32 rhythms presented in this mode:

For every trigger input, Ramp Mode produces 16 trigger events for which the time interval between two triggers performs a speed ramp. It will either speed up, slow down, or first speed up, then slow down.

To enter mode selection, press the Knob for 2s, then release.
Point the knob to Mode 6, and confirm with a click.

Trigger Mode: Ramp#

In Trigger mode, the knob set the slopes of the speed ramp. The LED ring shows the skew (A: orange and B: blue).

Input Trigger	●
Output A+B speeds up	●      ●     ●    ●   ●  ● ●●
Output A+B speeds up, then slows down	●      ●   ●  ●●  ●   ●     ●
Output A+B slows down	●● ●  ●   ●    ●     ●      ●

A trigger input produces a sequence of sixteen 5ms triggers on Outputs A+B, with varying time intervals in between.

With the knob set at 12 o'clock (eight orange and eight turquoise LEDs are active) the Output speeds up, then slows down.

The highlighted steps on each side progress upwards from the Channel A and B indicators.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A+B	ramps up, then down	●      ●   ●  ●●  ●   ●     ●

With the knob set all the way counter clockwise (only turquoise LEDs are active), the resulting Output A+B speeds up over the course of 16 steps.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A+B	ramps up	●      ●     ●    ●   ●  ● ●●

Turn all the way clockwise (all orange LEDs are active) and the triggers on output A and B slow down.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A+B	slows down	●● ●  ●   ●    ●     ●      ●

Gate Mode: Gate Length and Delay (coarse)#

In Gate mode, a trigger input produces a Gate on output A, then after a time switches over to a Gate on output B.

This means you adjust gate length on channel A, and at the same time delay gate B by the time gate A needs to complete.

Input Trigger	●
Output A	●      ○     ○    ○   ○  ○ ○○
Output B	○      ●     ●    ●   ●  ● ●●

Gate mode uses the same ramping time intervals as the retriggers, giving you exponential control over the duration of the gate.

Compared with retrigger mode, this produces longer and more diverse timespans, but coarse control.

A knob setting at 12 o’clock produces two gates of equal length. If you send a trigger to the input, you get a gate on output A, then a gate of the same length on output B.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A ● Lilac	medium gate	●      ●   ●  ●○  ○   ○     ○
Output B ● Turquoise	medium delay + gate	○      ○   ○  ○●  ●   ●     ●

Turning the knob counter clockwise produces a shorter gate on output A than output B. This means you get a long gate B after a short delay of A.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A ● Lilac	long gate	●      ○     ○    ○   ○  ○ ○○
Output B ● Turquoise	long delay, short gate	○      ●     ●    ●   ●  ● ●●

Turning the knob clockwise increases the gate length of output A, increasing the delay and decreasing the gate length of output B.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A ● Lilac	long gate	●● ●  ●   ●    ●     ●      ○
Output B ● Turquoise	long delay, short gate	○○ ○  ○   ○    ○     ○      ●

For every trigger input, Retrigger (Ratchet) Mode produces a number of fast retrigger events, ranging from a flam (two triggers) to a prolonged drum roll.

To enter mode selection, press the Knob for 2s, then release.
Point the knob to Mode 7, and confirm with a click.

Trigger Mode: Retrigger#

In Trigger Mode, the knob position lets you set the number of retriggers, changing the length of the ratchet.

Input Trigger	●
Output	●●●●●●●●●●●●

It splits the LED display into a number of retriggers for Channel A (lilac) and Channel B (turquoise). A highlight for each Channel (Violet for Channel A, and Cyan for Channel B) shows you the progression of the retrigger.

Set the knob to the middle position, 12 o'clock (eight lilac and eight turquoise LEDs are lit). If you send a trigger to the input, you get a burst of eight retriggers on each output. The highlighted steps on each side progresses upwards from the Channel A and B indicators.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A ● Lilac	8x retrigger	●●●●●●●●○○○○○○○○
Output B ● Turquoise	8x retrigger	●●●●●●●●○○○○○○○○

Turn the knob counter clockwise (fewer lilac, more turquoise LEDs light up) and the number of retriggers will decrease for Channel A, leaving a larger amount to complete for Channel B.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A ● Lilac	4x retrigger	●●●●○○○○○○○○○○○○
Output B ● Turquoise	12x retrigger	●●●●●●●●●●●●○○○○

Turn the knob clockwise (more lilac, fewer turquoise LEDs light up) and the number of retriggers to complete for Channel A will increase, leaving a shorter sequence for Channel B.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A ● Lilac	14x retrigger	●●●●●●●●●●●●●●○○
Output B ● Turquoise	2x retrigger	●●○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Gate Mode: Gate Length and Delay (fine)#

In Gate mode, a trigger input produces a Gate on output A, then after a time switches over to a Gate on output B.

This means you adjust gate length on channel A, and at the same time delay gate B by the time gate A needs to complete.

Input Trigger	●
Output A	●●●●○○○○○○○○○○○○
Output B	○○○○●●●●●●●●●●●●

Gate mode uses the same short time intervals as the retriggers, giving you very fine linear control over the duration of the gate.

Compared with ramp mode, this produces shorter overall timespans, but finer control.

A knob setting at 12 o’clock produces two gates of equal length. If you send a trigger to the input, you get a gate on output A, then a gate of the same length on output B.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A ● Lilac	medium gate	●●●●●●●●○○○○○○○○
Output B ● Turquoise	medium delay + gate	○○○○○○○○●●●●●●●●

Turning the knob counter clockwise produces a shorter gate on output A than output B. This means you get a long gate B after a short delay of A.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A ● Lilac	short gate	●●●●○○○○○○○○○○○○
Output B ● Turquoise	short delay, long gate	○○○○●●●●●●●●●●●●

Turning the knob clockwise increases the gate length of output A, increasing the delay and decreasing the gate length of output B.

Input Trigger	single	●
Output A ● Lilac	long gate	●●●●●●●●●●●●●●○○
Output B ● Turquoise	long delay, short gate	○○○○○○○○○○○○○○●●

Pattern Mode rounds out the palette of the module with a number of curated rhythm patterns for creating beats on the fly, ranging from Electro and Disco to House and Techno.

To enter mode selection, press the Knob for 2s, then release.
Point the knob to Mode 8, and confirm with a click.

Patch a sixteenth note (4ppqn) clock into the Trigger Input.

Each channel has 24 patterns of 64 steps (4 bars) for a pair of instruments on outputs A /B. Use the knob to select patterns for Channels 1-4.

The instrument pairs are:

Channel 1	A	●	Red	Kick
	B	●	Cyan	Snare
Channel 2	A	●	Orange	Closed HiHat
	B	●	Cyan	Open HiHat
Channel 3	A	●	Yellow	Percussion 1 (low)
	B	●	Cyan	Percussion 2 (high)
Channel 4	A	○	White	Closed HiHat
	B	●	Cyan	Open HiHat

The LEDs display the steps for out A (red, orange, yellow, white), overlaid with the steps for out B (cyan).

The pair plays as a linked sequence of 4 bars x 16 steps. A highlight advances through the sequence (bright cyan) to show the current step.

Once 16 steps are completed, the next bar is displayed. After 4 pages of 16 steps, the display loops around to the first page.

Here are some examples on how to read the pattern display:

Channel 1: A typical syncopated kick pattern on output A (red), and a snare on 2 and 4 with a sixtheenth note upbeat on output B (cyan):

Channel 1 A ● Kick	●●●○○○○○●○●●○○●○
