# Slope divider: missing beats A second slope must finish its envelope before accepting another trigger, producing rate-dependent rhythmic divisions. ## Start here Lower the monitoring level before patching. These are documented patch designs, not claims of hardware audition. Unless this recipe uses the right Mix Pro for control voltage: center its DC offset, zero unused channels, and bring up only the cabled audio inputs. Connect Audio Interface MIX OUT to your normal monitoring chain. 1. GTS upper: steady 4–6 Hz clock. Lower: cycle off, RISE short but visible, FALL initially shorter than one clock period. 2. VCFQ: audio range; tune a woody pitch and set Q for a short ring. ## Cables 1. GTS XL upper END OUT → GTS XL upper TRIG IN. 2. GTS XL upper END OUT → GTS XL lower TRIG IN. 3. GTS XL lower END OUT → VCFQ TRIG IN. 4. VCFQ BAND → Edelweiss right Mix Pro IN 1. 5. Edelweiss right Mix Pro OUT → Audio Interface AUX IN. ## Listen for Even pings give way to skipped beats as the lower envelope becomes longer than the incoming clock interval. ## Play it Sweep lower FALL slowly across division boundaries; pause where the rhythm locks. ## If it misbehaves If every beat sounds regardless of lower FALL, verify the filter is fed by lower END OUT, not upper END OUT. ## Module references - https://serge-modular.com/docs/GTS%20XL%20manual.pdf - https://serge-modular.com/docs/RandomSource_Serge_VCFQ.pdf
