Description

nQuencer is a eurorack module that turns the 16n Faderbank into a step sequencer. It features 4 different sequencing modes, built in quantisation with 12 selectable scales and the ability to add probability and change sequence direction.

Connect a 3.5mm stereo cable from 16n Faderbank to the i2c socket, patch in a clock and get a pitch and gate output.

When the nQuencer module receives a trigger at the Clock input it reads the state of the first 16n Faderbank fader and outputs a corresponding voltage at Output 1. At the next clock signal it will read the second fader and so on until it reaches the end and loops back to the start.

If a fader is at the very bottom no gate will be generated for that step in modes that output gates. The last fader that isn’t at the bottom determines the length of the sequence.

The LED grid shows the current step of the sequence or current setting while in settings mode.

FEATURES:

• 4 Sequencer modes
• Quantiser with 12 selectable scales ; chromatic (semitones), ionian (major), aeolian (natural minor), harmonic minor, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, major pentatonic, minor pentatonic, blues, disabled (unquantised)
• Reset push button and input
• 4 selectable sequence directions (up, down, up down, random)
• Control probability chance of a note firing
• Scaleable output voltage range max 1v, 2v, 3v, 4v
• Adjustable gate length
• Led grid visually displays current step in sequence

MODES:

Sixteen steps
-up to 16 step sequence
-out 1 outputs pitch and out 2 outputs a gate
-reset button and input move back to the start

Two eights
-splits the 16n faderbank into two halves each with up to 8 steps
-out 1 outputs pitch for the left half and out 2 for the right
-clock advances both sequences or reset in advances sequence 2 (alt reset in)

Transpose
-splits the 16n faderbank into two halves each with upto 8 steps
-values from the right half (up to 1v) are added to the left
-out 1 outputs pitch and out 2 outputs a gate
-clock advances both sequences or reset in advances sequence 2 (alt reset in)

DJ
-splits the 16n faderbank into two halves each with up to 8 steps but only one sequence at a time
-reset button switches the output to the other sequence or reset in (alt reset in)
-out 1 outputs pitch and out 2 outputs a gate

Specs:

• Width: 4HP
• Depth: 25mm
• Power Consumption: 12v 45mA, -12v 0mA
