Summary

The Quantoct is a four channel voltage quantizer which converts control voltages into discrete steps according to the selected scale. Each channel is completely independent but the selected scale is used across all channels. Basic 1/12 V steps are available on scale 1 and an additional 13 scales are available using the front panel switch.

IMPORTANT NOTE

This is a PCB and Panel set only. A set of 2 high quality PCBs and 1 front panel ONLY are included. You will need to purchase your own components and build your own module. Comprehensive build instructions and BOMs are provided to help you source the components needed and we even provide links to shopping carts to simplify sourcing the components needed. Some product photos above show COMPLETED build.

Features

4 independent CV In to CV Out jack pairs
Octave shift control for +2, +1, -2, -1 octaves
Scales: chromatic (semi-tones), whole tones, major, major pentatonic, harmonic minor, Aolian minor, minor pentatonic, dorian, lydian, 7th, Minor 7th, 3rd, Minor 3rd, 1V steps for testing
Ideal module for use with our Synthola sequencer
The module (when using our front panel) is Eurorack size and 8HP wide.

Demos

Scales

Because the core of this quantizer is a PIC24 microprocessor, we can provide custom scales or you can program your own if you have the necessary hardware and development environment. A pre-programmed chip with 14 scales is available as standard.

You can use this module to

Accurately align voltages sent from your keyboard or sequencers according to your chosen scale
Generate arpeggios with VCOs, LFOs, noise modules or looping envelope generators
Generate a multi-part harmony
