How to choose the best multiple, divider modules
Signal Integrity
Cheap multiples can introduce phase shift or signal degradation. You want a clean, faithful copy of your signal - especially crucial for oscillators where even slight phase changes can muddy the sound. Listen for any added noise or a 'thinning' of the tone.
Number of Outputs
Four is usually the sweet spot for a versatile multiple. More than that can be overkill unless you're running a massive polyphonic patch; fewer than that limits your flexibility. Consider whether you need buffered or unbuffered outputs.
Buffering
Buffered multiples provide impedance buffering, which can be a lifesaver when splitting signals to multiple destinations that draw a lot of current. Unbuffered multiples are more 'pure' but can load down your signal source, potentially weakening it. It's a trade-off - buffered is generally safer, especially for oscillators.
Mixer Functionality
Some multiples include a mixer section, allowing you to blend the outputs. This can be incredibly useful for creating detuned effects or subtly altering the timbre of your signals. A simple mixer adds a ton of utility without adding much complexity.
Noise Floor
A quiet module is a good module. Any multiple that introduces noticeable hiss or hum will quickly become a frustration, especially when dealing with delicate sounds. Test it with a sine wave oscillator and listen closely for unwanted artifacts.
Buying guide
Okay, so you're diving into modular synthesis and need to split signals - good move. Multiples and dividers are absolute workhorses, letting you fan out oscillators, process multiple voices, or create complex harmonic textures. They're not just for fancy sound design; they're essential for keeping your patch organized and actually hearing what you're doing. Let's break down what to look for in a good one.
Don't fall for the 'more is better' trap. A basic, well-built multiple will serve you far better than a feature-laden one that introduces noise or signal degradation. Buffered outputs are generally worth the extra cost, particularly if you're splitting signals to multiple effects or sequencers.
If you're on a tight budget, a decent Eurorack multiple is a solid starting point, but be prepared to potentially upgrade later if you find the signal isn't clean enough.

Questions
What's the difference between a multiple and a splitter?
Pretty much nothing. 'Splitter' is just another term for 'multiple.' They both do the same thing: duplicate a signal.
Do I really need a buffered multiple?
It depends. If you're just splitting a signal to a couple of oscillators, probably not. But if you're sending it to a bunch of hungry modules, buffering will prevent signal loss and maintain headroom.
Can I use a multiple to create detuned oscillators?
Absolutely! Patch the multiple's outputs to different oscillators and slightly offset their phase or frequency. It's a simple way to get a chorus-like effect.
My multiple is introducing noise. What's going on?
First, check your power. A noisy power supply can manifest as noise in any module. Next, ensure your cables are shielded properly. Finally, the multiple itself might be the issue - consider replacing it.
Can I use a multiple to split a stereo signal?
Technically, yes, but it will split the left and right channels. It won't create a true stereo multiple; it will just duplicate the signal for each channel.
