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.
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.
RESET:
Gate input for resetting the sequencer to
step 1.
GATE INPUTS:
Each envelope can be re-triggered/restarted with
an individual gate (or cycle without a gate input).
FORWARD/REVERSE/PENDULUM/
RANDOM SWITCH:
Switch to change the direction of the automated
sequencer.
LED BAR GRAPH:
Displays the sequence direction as well as
sequencer/step position.
ENV 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.
ATTACK:
Sets the time it takes for an envelope to
reach peak level.
HOLD:
Holds the voltage at its maximum value
after the attack is done rising and before the
decay starts falling, per envelope.
DECAY:
Sets the amount of decay time to sustain
level per envelope.
SUSTAIN:
Sets the level of sustain per envelope.
RELEASE:
Sets the time it takes for the envelope
to reach zero level per envelope.
ENVELOPE 1-4 CHANNEL SELECT BUTTONS:
To select an envelope for parameter editing,
press one of these buttons.
RECORD:
To record parameter automation to a sequence
for an envelope, hold the RECORD button while
you move the sliders. Once you’ve recorded
automation for a given parameter the LED on
that slider will be lit.
FAST/SLOW/TEMPO:
Set each envelope to FAST, SLOW, TEMPO.
Quad Envelope will receive tempo data via
busboard clock as well as from clock input.
GATE MODE:
To enter GATE mode, select an envelope button
1-4 and then the GATE button. This mode will
play a standard AHDSR envelope when a trigger
or gate input is patched.
LOOP MODE:
To enter LOOP mode, select an envelope button
1-4 and then the LOOP button. LOOP mode will
loop envelopes without a trigger or gate. The
AHSDR settings determine the speed of the
loop.
GATE/LOOP MODE:
To enter GATE/LOOP mode, select an envelope
button 1-4 and then the GATE and LOOP button.
GATE/LOOP mode loops envelopes only when a
gate is received.
CLEAR:
Holding CLEAR while moving sliders will clear
existing automation recording for that specific
control. Holding CLEAR while pressing a channel
select button will clear all automation for that
channel.
LINK MODE:
You can link envelope channels 2-4 to channel 1
by holding down channel button 1 while
selecting 2-4. You will now see that when you
press the channel 1 button, the buttons for the
other channels that are linked will also be lit.
Quad Envelope includes 4 individual AHDSR envelope generators with individual outputs as well as a 16-step automation sequencer per channel.
Hold the RECORD button and move the sliders for Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain and Release to animate each of these settings for a given channel.
Autosave in stand-alone mode, or save up to 16 presets of these settings using Varigate 4+ or up to 100 presets using Varigate 8+.
You can set each envelope to either Trigger, Gate, Loop or Gate/Loop. You can also set each individual envelope to either Fast, Slow or Tempo synced
modes. Each automation sequencer can be set to either Forward, Reverse, Pendulum or Random.
The Quad Envelope allows for a multitude of dynamic possibilities for live performance and recording.
