ENVELOPE OUTPUT CHANNELS 1-4: 

Connect your patch cables from these outputs to

other module CV inputs to modulate them with

the QUAD ENVELOPE. There are a total of 4

individual envelope/outputs, each with an LED 

indicating output is active.

CLK IN: 

An external CLOCK INPUT is required for the

automated sequencer to run. Clock is also

received from a Varigate 8+ or 4+ if connected to

the same busboard.

RESET: 

Gate input for resetting to step 1 of the animation 

sequencer.

- Forward, Pendulum, Random reset to step 1.

- Reverse resets to step 16. 

GATE INPUTS:

 

Insert a trigger or gate from external source to  

trigger an envelope to start.  

FORWARD/REVERSE/PENDULUM/

RANDOM SWITCH: 

Switch to change the direction of sequenced,

automated recording of an envelope. To enable a 

particular direction for each of the 4 envelopes, 

press an envelope channel select button and then 

move the switch. 

LED BAR GRAPH: 

Displays the sequence direction. Each step will 

pulse twice for a total of 16 steps.

ENVELOPE PARAMETER SLIDERS:

Each of the 4 envelopes include their own set of

parameters that can be adjusted with the sliders.

Select envelope buttons 1-4 and then move the

sliders to adjust ATTACK, HOLD, DECAY, SUSTAIN

and RELEASE per envelope.

AUTO-SAVE:

After making your final setting, wait 10

seconds before you power down. Then recycle 

your power and your settings will recall on 

power-up. See pg.7 for more info on saving Quad 

Envelope presets with the Varigate 4+ and 8+.
