About Cascading
The Quadrangle has four envelope “channels.” When the top channel (channel 1) has finished
its cycle, it sends an internal end of cycle trigger to the channel below it (channel 2). When
channel 2 has finished its cycle, it does the same to channel 3. This sequence of triggers is
called “cascading.” On the Quadrangle, channels cascade from top to bottom. The bottom
channel (channel 4) can loop to trigger channel 1.
How cascading works on the Quadrangle:
● If global Loop is enabled, channel ​ ​ 4 will cascade into channel 1. If global Stop is
enabled, the cascade will stop after channel 4 completes its cycle.
● A channel can be used independently (so that it is not affected by the cascade) by
simply patching a cable into the GATE input of that channel.
● If a channel’s GATE jack is in use, it will stop the cascade from the channel above it.
● If global Stop is enabled and all the individual channels are set to AR or AD, the
envelopes will cascade from top to bottom when triggered at the gate input, stopping
after the fourth channel completes its cycle. If the gate input of channel 1 is used, all
channels will cascade. If the gate input of channel 2 is used, channels 2-4 will cascade,
etc.
● If any of the individual channels are set to loop, it will continue to loop and cascade the
channel below it each time it ends its cycle. This allows the use of fewer cascading
channels without an external gate, e.g. looping channel 2 while 3 and 4 are set to AD or
AR.
● All the channels can be set to continually cascade.
● If a channel is mid-cycle when it is triggered by the previous channel, it will retrigger.
Powering Up Your Module
Turn off your modular system before plugging in your Quadrangle module. Plugging in your
module while the power is on (“hot swapping”) can damage a module. Plug a 10 to 16 pin power
cable into the module and then into your power supply, aligning the stripe of the cable with the
STRIPE indicator on the power supply. Then power it on!
Testing Instructions
If you built the Quadrangle yourself, ​ use these instructions to test your module ​ to make sure it is
fully functional.
