Quantizer
CV (almost) everything!
The Quantizer module has two control voltage (CV) inputs, labeled A and B, that can be
assigned to almost all parameters of the Quantizer. This allows dynamically changing the
scales in dierent ways to create chord or scale progressions in the music, as well as changing
the gate length.
To assign one of the CV inputs, enter the CV menu by pressing either
τ
Shift
+
A
or
τ
Shift
+
B
. Then, press the button corresponding to the function you want to put under CV control.
The following buttons can be chosen:
Gate length (not yet implemented)
τ
Rotate scale
τ
Transpose both channels
Transpose one channel (CV A transposes channel 1, CV B transposes channel 2)
Oset both channels
Oset one channel (CV A osets channel 1, CV B osets channel 2)
Load scale
CV input specications
For most functions, the CV inputs are 1V/Oct inputs, internally quantized to the nearest
semitone. For the Rotate, Transpose and Oset functions this means you can connect any
V/Oct CV source to program these functions. For example, connecting a CV keyboard to the
Rotate function allows you to play a chord sequence the root note will be set to the key
pressed on the keyboard.
For the Load function, the input also follows the V/Oct standard, but now each note on
the CV keyboard corresponds to a dierent slot in memory. More technically, the input works
in steps of 83 mV. For example, a CV of 0.0 V loads slot 0, 0.083 V loads slot 1, 0.166 V load
slot 2, and so on. When you reach 1 V it wraps around to slot 0 again.
For the Gate length function a CV of 5V corresponds to the full scale of gatelengths
accessible through the gatelength menu. The CV value is added to the menu setting, and
where positive CV voltages lengthen the gate, and negative CV voltages shorten the gate.
Tip: The CV control of gate length is continuous, and allows much ner changes in length
than the 12 possibilities in the gate length menu.
