"It is a Quad Patternizer, a 20hp, 4 channel clock divider with four divider stages (n/2, n/4, n/8 and n/16) per channel, that can be turned on and off manually with pushbutton controls or with external gates/ triggers. 

The outputs of these dividers don't overlap and when all stages are active, the clock is simply passed on to the output. 
Furthermore it makes a very nice switchable sub- oscillator. 
But I use it mainly as a pattern generator, sending in the masterclock and using arbitrary trigger signals to switch on and off divider stages. I like the stuff it outputs driving my percussive voices and sequencers. 

This shows the output order for the 4 divider stages. Note that th cd4089 leaves out 1 pulse in every 16 pulses when all stages are active. I used to just live with this but on the latest Patternizer models I have fixed it with extra logic circuitry (cd4012 and cd4052). So when all stages are active, it now simply passes on the inputted clock signal.
