Quantus Trajecta is a quad envelope designed with polyphony in
mind. Each control universally adjusts all four envelopes, so keeping
separate voices related on the fly is easy. Borrowing the structure of
the envelope from the Cursus and Loquelic Iteritas Percido and
adding even more shape control and a third mode, QT is musical,
performable, and utilitarian.
Etymology
Quantus – from Latin: "how many"
Trajecta – from Latin: "journey"
"Many journeys"

    Noise Engineering or an authorized retailer (receipt or invoice required). The cost of shipping to Noise Engineering is paid by the user. Modules requiring warranty repair will either be repaired or replaced at Noise Engineering's discretion. If you believe you have a product that has a defect that is out of warranty, please contact us and we will work with you.
  • Page 3 Interface ADSR/Trem/A/D: Global mode setting for the four envelopes. ADSR is a traditional four-stage envelope with exponential curving for musicality. Trem is a unique three-stage envelope/LFO, useful for creating tremolo effects. A/D is a two-stage envelope with adjustable curves, similar to the envelope found on our Percido modules.
  • Page 4 Patch Tutorial Single envelope: Patch a gate pattern to In 1, and Out 1 to the CV input of a VCA processing an oscillator. Start with all parameters centered, the rate switch set to Fast, and the mode set to ADSR. From there, experiment with Trem and A/D mode to hear the different shapes it can create, and try out some different envelope settings by changing the four parameters.

    Design Notes How long has QT been an idea on the books here? It seems like forever. I just looked at the repository and the first version was ready for prototype four years ago. We have wanted to break the Percido envelope out into its own module for years. We have had paper designs for it for most of that time, but it never made it far enough along for us to really push it forward.
