Akropoli is an extension and enhancement of our successful Little Melody and High Towers
modules, offering the features of both of these modules as well as some of it's own unique
features such as mute buttons per channel, manual transpose knob and 1V/oct transpose
CV input. Akropoli operates using our proprietary TOOL V2 code, and can count in integers
as well as multiples for even more subtle and evolving variations.
Akropoli is a generative sequencer based around clock divisions and a chromatic quantiser,
used to create in-the-moment licks and riffs. It is more that the sum of it's parts.
Akropoli's internal operations can be considered as 4 clock dividers patched into a CV mixer
via attenuators. The attenuators select notes over a 5 octave range, the clock dividers
determine how often those notes are added to the mix. The final output of Akropoli is
quantized chromatically for fast set up and continuously pleasing results.
The 4 clock dividers are labelled A, B, C, and D. They all receive clocks from the same source,
the divisions may be selected using the presets and the individual division selectors. The
clock dividers can be set to count up, down, or to one of a variety of modes that move
between counting up and down. For further information see the Little Melody User Guide.
