Quantizer
Kassutronics
Transposition and osets
By default, the quantizer simply rounds the incoming voltage to the nearest enabled note, so
with a 0V input you will get a 0V output. The transpose and oset features are two dierent
ways to alter this behavior. The following block diagram shows the operation of the quantizer
algorithm.

Oset
The oset adds any number (postive or negative) of semitones and octaves to the
input signal before it is quantized. This makes the pitches go up or down while still
quantizing them to the original scale.
Press
τ
Shift
+
to go to the Oset both menu. Using the buttons 0 to 11 adds an oset
of 0 to 11 semitones, and the buttons
and
add or subtract a whole octave. This is applied
to both channels at once.
Similarly, press
τ
Shift
+
to go to the Oset channel 2 menu. Any oset programmed
here is only applied to channel 2.
Transpose
τ
The transpose function adds any number of semitones and octaves to the output signal
after it is quantized. This not only makes the pitches go up or down, but also changes
the musical scale of the output.
Press
τ
Shift

to go to the Transpose both menu. The transposition set here is applied
to both channels at once.
Similarly, press

to go to the Transpose channel 2 menu. Any transposition
programmed here is only applied to channel 2.
