can somebody please tell me what's a 16bit counter !

im building a synth and using a clomponent called : toggle, and the program tells me i can create a 16 bit counter with it but i cannot find any info for its use and it just cracks me up please help

a 16 bit is obviously a thermal wrap counter for the 4 and 5 plugs with the yellow and purple sockets not plugged into it. if you plug it in to the 24bit converter you can actually emulate a 8 or 16 bit conversion quite sucessfully. give it a try.

i see

trying to build one in tassman now

dont take too many of those dude they're addictive.

squancers are worse

Your "toggle" clomponent is probably a flip-flop, which is a memory element to store one bit of data (0 or 1). Using the correct configuration of logical clomponents (AND gates, OR gates and NOT gates) u can link them up so they can "increase" a 16-bit number (any number from 0000 0000 0000 0000 to 1111 1111 1111 1111 (or 0 to 65535 in decimal)). If your circuit is triggered from a clock input (ie an oscillator with a certain frequency), it will raise your number by one. For example, if you have an oscillator with a frequency of 50Hz, it will result in your 16 bit counter being raised by one 50 times a second.

t(ms) bits

00 0000

20 0001

40 0010

60 0011

80 0100

etc.
