  • Page 3: Short Description

    1. ShorT deScriPTion QUanTiZer SecTion The module is a combination of quantizer and beat looper. A quantizer converts a continous voltage (on CV-input) in the range of 0...+5V into a stepped output voltage in the same volta- ge range. The scale assigns the possible voltage states. The quantizer can be triggered per external trigger input or per link of the pulse from the beat section.

    2.2 connection to the modular system (doepfer bus) The module is delivered with a connected ribbon cable for the Doepfer bus. The red lead marks -12 volt. Connecting the module please note the right polarity! If the module is poled accidentally wrong safety diodes avoid the immediate destruction of the module but further damages cannot be excepted.

    GATE 3. KeyBoard If mode switch 3 is in position KEYBOARD then the keyboard buttons can be used like a mini keyboard (the note output is the CV output). If a key is pressed then the KEYGATE output goes on (high level). If a key is released then ms Bereich the KEYGATE output goes off (low level).

    4.3 Scale you access a stored scale manually this way: Set switch 6 at position PATCH (switch 3 at TRIGGER or LINK). - set the bank in the upper key row (red color) (#C, #D, #F, #G=preset bank 1-4, #A=user bank 5) - set the patches of banks (1-7) in the lower key row (green colour) you access a stored scale automatically per external cV this way: In any order of switch 6:...

    5. BeaT looPer 5.1 General information The beat looper generates a pulse sequence with adjustable GATE length and beat raster. The tempo is determined internally per TAP or externally per 16th pulse sequence. The per- formed beat raster can be recorded or looped up to 4 measures (see chapter 6). 5.2 Tempo/Synchronisation If the Tap switch 15 is in upper position the sequence runs with internal tempo.
  • Page 9: Reset

    5.5 reset A Reset sets the beat pattern on ONE of measure 1 and also sets the reset output to high. A Reset can be released manually per RESET key or externally per high impuls on RESET input. The module generates automatically a reset pulse on measure 1 (pulse lenght=16th). The reset imulse is necessary than if the sequence should synchronised on ONE.
