Maybe you could elaborate a bit on the usecase?!
Just for my understanding:
CV.OCD means the 4ms QCD (Quad Clock Distributor)?
When you want the Trigger 16 Expander to provide a set of predefined clock divisions (as a special mode) I suggest you create a feature request. The more detailed the better.
The CV.OCD is an external 'midi to cv converter' with 4 CV and 12 trigger outs, just like the Mutant Brain. You are also able to output all different kind of divisions of the midi clock to the trigger outs. This way you can have many musical divisions of the clock: 24ppqn, 1/32, 1/16T, 1/16, 1/8T, 1/16D, 1/8, 1/4T, 1/8D (dotted eight), 1/4 (beat), 1/2T, 1/4D, 1/2, 1/2D, 1 (bar) .
Mainly what I want 'to solve' is would like to have a trigger every 12 steps. This can be done with a "1/2D" (dotted half note) division, which means 1.5x the note length of 1/2. (1/2 = every 8 steps x 1.5 = 12 steps). For instance 1/16 is every step (a 16th note), 1/4 is every 4th step (a quater note), so every beat in 4/4 time signature.
Now this can be done setting a trigger in the Drum Matrix every 12th step, but... 64 is not dividable by 12, so you always have smaller jump of 4 steps. When setting the length of a pattern it to 48 it will have any division possible without breaking the divisions (divide by 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16), but now it falls short of 64, introducing new challenges.
Setting up the More Triggers to have 1-8 out on one track and 9-16 on a second solves this. The length can be set to 64 on the first, 48 to the second.
I just wondered if there was a different way to not occupy a second track just for this 9-16 'clock divider' which need to be set to a length of 48.
Being able to set output 10 to '/5' and it would fire at 1,6,11 etc... every 5 trigs or /13 every 13 trigs would be an ideal way to set up, but I don't think that is possible...(?)

TRBH 001
TRBH 002
TRBH 003
TRBH 004
....
Alternative you could also use TRBH 001 and after that the FX+* command with 001 which will always add 1 to the last FX value = same result, easier input.
Ok, thanks. I'll have to try this out and see how it works. Right now I can't imagine what this does exactly... seems like magic to me
