If you run a Eurorack modular setup, this little module is handy to have. It takes one signal and sends it to several places at once, and it can also combine clock, gate and pulse signals. Because it is passive, it needs no power, so you can slot it into your case and get going.
Pros
- Passive design, so it needs no power supply to run
- Can be set up as 3 x 3, 1 x 5, 1 x 3 or 1 x 7 multiples
- Sends one signal to multiple destinations
-
This is a small, simple module that takes one signal and sends it to eight jacks. You get two groups of four jacks, and if you want all eight in one group, you can solder a bridge on the circuit board to change it. It suits anyone building a modular rack who needs more places to plug in cables without using up much space.
Pros
- Passive multi-port distributor that splits one signal into eight jacks
- Eight interconnected jacks give you plenty of patch points in a tiny space
- Sockets are divided into two quadruple groups, which keeps patching organized
Cons
- Changing it to a single eight-multiple means soldering a bridge on the circuit board
-

If you want to send one signal to many places in your modular rig, this module is a good pick for you. It has two buffered 1 x 4 multiples, and the first one's output feeds the second, so you can split a signal several ways. At 14 HP it is small, and it draws very little power, so it fits easily in most cases.
Pros
- Contains two buffered 1 x 4 multipliers, so one signal can feed up to eight destinations.
- The first multiple's output is normalized to the second multiple's input, letting you chain them easily.
- Buffered outputs keep the source signal steady as it splits to several places.
Cons
- It needs +12 V and -12 V power, so your case power supply must supply both rails.
-
If you run a Eurorack setup and need one signal sent to several places, this module handles that job. It uses active electronics for both audio and CV signals, and it passes pitch CV to the cent. It is a good pick for you if you want a simple way to split signals in a small 2 HP space.
Pros
- Buffered design uses active electronics for both audio and CV signals
- Works as a 1-on-3 multiple, splitting one signal to three outputs
- Works as a 1-on-6 multiple, splitting one signal to six outputs
Cons
- Needs +12 V and -12 V power, so your Eurorack case must supply both rails
-
If you use a Eurorack setup and need to connect 3.5 mm mono cables to 6.3 mm mono jacks, this module can help. You get five separate adapters in one 8 TE module, and it needs no power supply, so you can plug it in and use it. It suits anyone with a mix of cable types in their modular rig.
Pros
- Contains five independent adapters, so you can convert several cables at once
- Each adapter converts from 3.5 mm mono jack to 6.3 mm mono jack
- Passive construction means it needs no power supply to work
Cons
- Converts mono 3.5 mm jacks only, so stereo plugs are not covered

How to choose the best multiple, divider modules
Playability
A beginner-friendly multiple should be straightforward to use. Complex routing options are cool later, but right now, you want something that lets you quickly and reliably split or combine signals without a PhD in patching.
Signal Integrity
Cheaper multiples can introduce noise or degrade the signal. You want something that preserves the character of your oscillators and doesn't add unwanted hiss or muddy the low-end thump you're working so hard to dial in.
Number of Outputs/Inputs
Consider how many voices you typically use. Four outputs are often enough to start, but think about future expansion. A multiple with too few jacks becomes a bottleneck fast.
Mixer Capabilities (if any)
Some multiples include a mixer section. This can be incredibly useful for blending oscillators or shaping the overall sound, but also adds complexity. Beginners might want to start with a simple splitter first.
Size & Power Consumption
Modular space is precious, and power is often limited. Smaller modules free up space for other goodies, and lower power draw means you won't be overloading your PSU. A huge module with tons of jacks might sound great, but can be a pain in a compact setup.
Buying guide
Okay, so you're diving into modular synths - awesome! One of the first things you'll want is a multiple or divider. These modules are seriously underrated; they're not just for fancy patching, they're crucial for making your sounds playable and manageable. Let's break down what beginners need and which modules won't leave you pulling your hair out trying to figure out why your oscillators are fighting each other.
Don't chase the flashiest features. A basic, well-built multiple will serve you far better than a feature-packed mess you never understand. Look for modules from reputable manufacturers - even a slightly more expensive option from a brand known for reliability will save you headaches down the road.
Be wary of ultra-cheap options; they often cut corners on components, leading to noise and signal degradation that will impact your tone.

Questions
What's the difference between a multiple and a divider?
A multiple just splits a signal into multiple identical copies. A divider takes a signal and divides its frequency by a fixed ratio - think sub-octave sounds or creating complex rhythmic patterns. Beginners should start with a multiple first.
How many outputs do I really need?
Four is a good starting point. If you're primarily working with two oscillators and a noise source, that's probably enough. If you're layering five voices for pads, you'll want more.
Will a cheap multiple ruin my sound?
It's possible. Many budget multiples introduce noticeable noise or distortion. Listen carefully for any unwanted artifacts when patching.
Can I use a regular patch cable to split a signal?
Technically, yes, but it's not ideal. Patch cables introduce capacitance and can affect the signal's high frequencies. A dedicated multiple is cleaner and more reliable.
I'm overwhelmed! Where do I even start?
Start with a simple 1U or 2U multiple with four outputs. Focus on understanding the basics of signal flow before diving into complex features. Experiment, listen, and have fun!
