We found a simple voltage controlled waveshaping possibility for the A-110 with the new universal vactrol module A-101-9. Connecting a vactrol output of the A-101-9 (VAC1 or VAC2) in parallel to R33 of the A-110 leads to voltage controlled waveshaping of the triangle and the sine

Hello Dieter... the A-155 would do part of what I want, defining pulses to be skipped, but I wanted to deal with audio as well. I just realized that I might be able to "skip" LFO pulses and audio frequency pulses with the A-151 switch since it can handle fast VCO rates. So it loo

If I understand everything this should be possible with an A-155: LFO pulse out -> step in A-155 gate out #4 of A-155 -> reset of A-155 (limits the length to 3 steps) The trigger rows (steps 1-3) are used to define which of the LFO pulses are skipped or passed on. Instead of the

Hi Bakis, Well, I guess that there are basically 2 uses for any quantizer (correct me if I'm wrong please) 1. correcting/tuning the output from a sequencer 2. deriving note-sequences (melodies, arpeggio's) from any voltage source, like an lfo, adsr, noise, complex envelopes etc.
