quantizer

Health Club Music’s new ultra-mega sequencer is a full-on, knob-filled modular analog music sequencer.

The 32-STEP SEQUENCER is described as “a monster from another world.” Read more…

The next Eurorack module from Flame, the Tame Machine looks like a lot of fun:

In addition to being a tap tempo clock source and clock (”beat”) divider, the module will act as a “playable” quantizer via the colored pushbuttons at the top. When not in Quantizer mode, however, they can be used as a mini keyboard for sending note data.

The Tame Machine also has another fun feature- it is possible to record a melody from the mini keyboard and play this in a loop via the record function. So it will essentially record “sequences”, possibly quantized, like the Roland Sh-101.

Pricing and details to come.

A screencast demonstrating a tracker-style sequencer with simple built-in synths. It’s probably not particularly interesting to most, but within my goal to make my own music software it’s a milestone; it provides the bare minimum of features to make music.

Serge Modular has introduced the ASR Quantizer’ (ASR/QUAN) M-odule.

Details below.

If you’ve used the Serge ASR Quantizer, leave a comment with your thoughts!

it contains (from left to Right): VC Timegen Clock, Divide by N Comparator, 3 step Analogue Shift Register (x2), 6 channels Quantizer.

this is a great module for sequencing aplications, and not only:

it can generate arabesque melodies with its two ASR’s that can be chained to form a single 6 channel ASR), using 3 VCO’s. or you could use the ASR’s, clocked at audio rate, as a weird wave processor….

you can further quantize various sequencer channels with the Quantizer, or quantize the outputs of the ASR’s…

with the ‘Divide by N Comp’ you get a comparator, a clock divider up to /31 (with odd and even clock divisions), an audio wave divider to create subharmonics, a staircase wave generator with N steps, (all these with the N defined manually or via VC) a tool to create sharp clocking pulses, etc…

the Quantizer features six channels of quantizing plus two toggle switches, in addition to its gate input jacks, for selection of intervallic step variants (manualy or via VC).

and, of course, the ‘VC Timegen Clock’ that can act as vc lag, vc AD, vc LFO, lowpass VCF, vc-clock source, audio divider, envelope follower, etc…

put all these together for countless more applications….

ASR/QUAN price: 1700 USD.

Here is a brief run down of how a CV Quantizer can change your sound with analog synthesis.

Presented is a simple patch with no quantizing, and then quantizing is added with a run through of the scales presented in Bank 16 of the Wiard Miniwave, used as a quantizer.
