The 4ms Quad Clock Distributor is a workhorse for any modular setup needing rhythmic precision and flexibility. It's especially valuable for generative music and complex sequencing, providing reliable clocking and easy manipulation of tempo and subdivision. If you're serious about intricate rhythms, this is a solid foundation.
Product Description

PROS
- • Excellent clock stability; 4ms's reputation is deserved.
- • Flexible CV control offers nuanced rhythmic manipulation.
- • Normalisation simplifies sequencing and cascading clock signals.
- • Compact 10HP footprint maximizes modular space efficiency.
CONS
- • Limited input range; extreme CV values can cause erratic behavior.
- • Lack of individual attenuators can complicate precise division/multiplication.
- • Power draw is noticeable, especially in power-constrained systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
The tap-tempo output provides a straightforward pulse; external sequencers will interpret it as a clock signal, though synchronization accuracy depends on the sequencer's clock resolution.
Absolutely! The CV control on each channel allows you to set different division/multiplication ratios, creating complex polyrhythmic patterns with relative ease.
While convenient, normalization can create unexpected behavior if you're not careful; it's best suited for simpler clock chains or when you want all channels to share a common clock source initially.
