- Page 2 VCOs in a modular. Without QuantiZer conversion it is hard to dial in specific notes in a musical scale, so the QuantiZer o sets the voltage to match exact notes; therefore, the QuantiZer could be called a CV-to-musical-note converter. The beauty of the QuantiZer comes...
- Page 3 Patch the QuantiZer 1V/Oct OUT to the Z3000 1V/Oct In Patch one of the Z3000 waveform outputs to a sound system to hear it. On the QuantiZer click FORCE 0V, all lights will turn o and the QuantiZer will be forced to output 0V Adjust the Z3000 to 65Hz or click the Z3000 yellow button once to turn on the tuner and adjust it to show Note C2.
- Page 4 Using di erent scales: Click on Major, then click on note F on the right side keyboard and the green lights will change position to show the new selected scale, which might change in the sequence as CV in is converted now to F Major scale. Click Major then Gb to hear the switch again, click on Minor then D;...
- Page 5 Using a Stackable patch the same trigger signal that goes to the Z4000 into the CLOCK IN The QuantiZer will now quantize when a trigger is sent. With this function you can select when to quantize, so try experimenting with other pulse sources to see how creative this can be.
- Page 6 QuantiZer as Sketchpad for Circadian Rhythms: The QuantiZer recording function can be made to follow the Circadian Rhythms time line preci- sely. To do that patch a Tiptop SyncBus cable from the Circadian SyncBus out to the QuantiZer SyncBus in. See drawing below.
- Page 7 SyncBus: Two sets of multi-pin connectors on the back PCB. Use a SyncBus cable to connect to other TipTop Audio SyncBus enabled devices like the Trigger Riot and Circadian Rhythm. USB Port: A standard USB Type A port on the rear PCB to attach a USB Flash drive in order to update the device firmware.
- Page 8 Slider: a 40mm pot for inputting the following data: Notes outputs a quantized pitch directly to the 1V/Oct output. The entire 5 octave ranges is available via the slider. Portamento sets the slew rate between notes. The slewed output is not quantized in between the input notes for smooth pitch bend e ects.
- Page 9 Turn the Coarse and Fine tuning knobs until the z3000 display shows a C pitch (C0, C1, C2 etc) The QuantiZer and z3000 will now have a range of that note plus five octaves (ex.C1 to C6) Transposing: There are several methods of transposing a scale in the QuantiZer: Keys Transpose mode.
- Page 10 Recording Using CV Sketch Pad: The QuantiZer can record up to 512 16th note steps which matches the internal 16th note memory of the Circadian Rhythm step sequencer. The QuantiZer will follow the Group/Preset when using the Circadian as a master clock (‘Boss’) over Syncbus.
- Page 11 All of the memory is now cleared of Note data. Saving CV data and States: The QuantiZer has onboard memory that stores data between power cycles. The data must be manually saved by the user! Change Keyboard to ‘Input Range’ Mode...
- Page 12 Specifications: Note CV: 0-10v, +/-5v, +/-10v User selectable Scale CV: 0-10v 1v/Oct: 0-5v Quantized voltage accuracy: +/- <1mv from 0 to 5 volts Clock/Reset In: 0-12v Trigger or Gate Triggered Quantization Clock in pulse to 1v/oct output: < 500 microseconds (0.5 ms) Recorded voltage Clock In pulse to 1v/oct output: <100 microseconds (0.1ms) Width: 10HP Depth: 43mm...
