ADDAC SYSTEM

Here’s a complete description of the Menu functions:

BUTTON 1 (QUANTIZER / KEYBOARD)

Pushing this button for aprox. 1 second changes between QUANTIZ-

ER and KEYBOARD Mode.

BUTTON 2 = NOTE 2 (BUTTONS 1 to 12)

Pushing this button for aprox. 1 second will define the interval for 

NOTE 2

 or Quantizer output 2.

Intervals can be selected from buttons 1 to 12 referring to an 

interval from 0 to +12. Major/Minor 3rds will be automatically 

selected depending on the scale defined (assuming you choose 

a 7 note scale).

In this window you’ll see only one button lit indicating which 

interval is selected.

Pressing a non-lit button changes the setting to that selection and 

changes the lit key for visual feedback.

Pressing a lit key is the confirmation of the desired setting and it 

automatically jumps back to the previous Main Mode (QUANTIZER / 

KEYBOARD) window changing the leds as well.

BUTTON 3 = NOTE 3 (BUTTONS 1 to 12)

Same as NOTE 2 for Quantizer Output 3

BUTTON 4 = NOTE 4 (BUTTONS 1 to 12)

Same as NOTE 2 for Quantizer Output 4

BUTTON 5 = Q.TYPE = QUANTIZER TYPE (BUTTONS 3, 5 and 6)

Only Buttons 3, 5 and 6 can be selected in this window.

Quantizer Type defines how the quantization process occurs. There’s 

3 methods for Quantizing the input voltage to the closest note: 

Above (BUTTON 3), Below (BUTTON 6) or if it omits any voltage that 

is not in the scale range (BUTTON 5).

In this window you’ll see only one of the 3 buttons lit indicating 

which setting is selected.

BUTTON 6 = GATE L. = GATE LENGTH (BUTTONS 1 to 12)

Gate Length defines to size of the Gate Output from 10 to 10000ms, 

selectable from buttons 1 to 12.

In this window you’ll see only one of the buttons lit indicating 

which setting is selected.
