I've made a loop slicer that is driven by master clock source that triggers 16th notes. Using mod, change and int, I have no problems going from 16ths to 2 slices. But what if I want to go to 32nd and 64th slices? Obviously the counter goes 2 4 6 8... and its missing the 3 5 7 etc (for 32nd)

Do I need a master clock that is based around 64th notes and work down from there? or can I derive 32nd/64th from a 16th notes source ?

many thanks

As you say, you really need a master clock that is a multiple of all the timebases you want and divide to get 32nds, 16ths etc.

One trick for doubling bang events is to copy and delay the stream by half the period, but I suggest you use the first solution which is easier and more reliable, however this delay method has an interesting use musically ... you can vary the delay slightly to get a swing in the beat.
