General Info The Quadrangle is quad cascading triggered envelope generator with an attenuverted output per channel. Each channel has a gate input, voltage controlled attack and decay/release inputs, end of attack and end of cycle trigger outputs, and a mode (AR, Loop and AD) switch. Each channel’s EOC is normalled to the next gate input, resulting in interesting rhythmic...
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.”...
Channel Controls The Quadrangle has four channels. Each one looks like this: A: CV over Attack ● CV control over the Attack cycle of the envelope. The input signal is additive and subtractive to to the physical position of the potentiometer.
LED ● The LED illuminates for the entire length of the envelope. It starts off dimly and then brightens, reaching full brightness at the peak of the attack. It dims during the decay cycle. Switch ● The selector switch has three options: ○...
Global Controls Stop / Loop Switch ● (Global Loop): ○ The global Loop control is different than the channel Loop. While the channel Loop allows each channel to self-cycle independently, the global Loop triggers channel one when channel four’s cycle is complete. ○...
DEC/REL pots are turned fully counterclockwise, the envelope will be extremely fast, faster than many other modules. This is normal and intentional. Voltages All envelope outputs are maximum 5V peak to peak, including the SUM output. More questions? Get a hold of us here: 503-417-1130 info@synthrotek.com...
