Frequency Central High Towers USER MANUAL High Towers is a flexible module, based on the principles of clock division of an incoming clock signal. There are four assignable binary outputs, each of which can be assigned a clock division.

See 5. Gates for more information on this mode of operation. When in the ‘Cues’ configuration, High Towers sends out short pulses ‘on cue’ at an interval. The cue for when the pulse occurs can be shifted with the 'mode' knob, and the intervals can be changed with the 'division' knobs.
Changing divisions on the fly is one of key features of High Towers, and both of these knobs allow the user to select the divisions applied to the channels, either all at once (preset parameter), or individually per channel (division parameter).
When in the ‘Gates’ setting, High Towers performs much like a regular clock divider that you may already be familiar with. High Towers has eight counting modes, which change how the clock dividers operate. It can be set to count up, down, or one of several pendulum-like combinations that we call ‘Up / Down’.
5.1 Gates Up / Down 4 Table Example This table shows states of the clock dividers whilst in Up / Down 4 mode to illustrate the counting inversion. States where /1 and /2 have been inverted have been highlighted in grey. Clock /128 High...
5.2 Gates Up / Down 4 Time Series Example In this time series graph, we demonstrate Up / Down 4 mode. This shows the same data as the first 8 clocks from 4.1.1 but as a time series plot. States where /1 and /2 have been inverted have been highlighted in grey.
High Towers performs when the switch is set to the ‘Cues’ setting. When in the ‘Cues’ setting, High Towers outputs a pulse with a duration that matches the length of the clock’s gate - regardless of division setting.
6.1 Cues /4 Time Series Example In this time series graph, we demonstrate the effects on a /4 division Cues output with Mode set to different settings.
6.3 Cues ‘Some Offset’ Time Series Example In this time series graph, we demonstrate Cues for all divisions with mode set at slightly left of the centerline.
