Module A-156 is a Dual Control Voltage Quantizer.

A quantizer converts a continous control voltage in the range 0...+10V into a stepped output voltage in the same voltage range (i.e. only certain voltages occur). Normally 1/12 V steps are used to obtain semitone steps. Quantizer 2 of the A-156 allows more sophisticated quantizing modes like major scale (i.e. only voltages corresponding to the major scale), minor scale, major chord, minor chord, fundamental+fifth and addition of seventh or sixth when chords are selected. Only those voltages appear at the CV output which comply with the selection rule (e.g. minor chord with seventh). The mode setting of quantizer 2 is done with 3 switches (1-0-1 type with middle position). From the factory quantizer 1 is working in the semitone mode. But there is a jumper on the pc board that can be changed so that even quantizer 1 uses the same scale as quantizer 2.

For each quantizer the following in/outputs are available: - Control voltage input (CV In): The input for the contiuous voltage to be quantized - Control voltage output (CV Out): The output of the quantized voltage - Trigger input (Trig.In): If this jack is left open the quantizer is working permanently. If a rectangle voltage is applied quantisation happens only at the rising edge of the signal (e.g. from an LFO or MIDI-to-Sync interface). Thus the quantizing can be synchronized with other events. - Trigger output (Trig.Out): Whenever a quantisation happens (i.e. a new voltage is generated at the CV Out) a positive pulse occurs at this output. It may be used to trigger an envelope generator (ADSR) or for triggering other modules (sequential switch A-151, trigger divider/sequencer A-160/161, trigger delay A-162, ...). If none of these functions are used the jack is left open.

On top of that the A-156 is provided with a common transpose CV input having an additive effect on both quantizers. This input is quantized in semitone steps. A typical application is the transposition of a sequence generated by the A-155 by a second control voltage (e.g. coming from the MIDI-CV interface A-190).

Simply put, Arpitecht is a voltage controlled Quantizer and rhythmic arpeggio generator.  As one of our most musical modules to date, Arpitecht is designed to be an inspiring tool for the modular musician.  

With Arpitecht, you can create intricate melodies that span 8 octaves, imply chord changes, instant acid basslines, evolving generative sequences, and, using the Triad expander, polyphonic chord generation.

Arpitecht features 16 scales, each with a unique set of "note masks" offering hundreds of note combinations with the ability to dial in via knobs on the front panel or CV. 32 rhythm patterns and 32 slide patterns all with CV control let you feed a static clock into it and get unique, evolving patterns of gates and note changes.

Triad expander module allows you to create uniquely voiced chords in the same key underneath your arpeggios. 

Features:

• Voltage controlled Quantizer and Arpeggio Generator.
• 16 scales
• Hundreds of note combinations possible
• Inspiring to creativity and easy to "land" somewhere new
• 5 octave range arpeggiation range
• +-1 octave transpose range
• Intuitive front panel and "keyboard" LED layout
• Rhythm and Slide Rhythm options for added variety to your arpeggio

• MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
• Clock and Reset In/Out
• 16 encoders for easy sequence input
• Up to 64 steps per pattern
• Song mode – up to 64 patterns in chain, each pattern can be repeated up to 32 times
• Note, Glide, Gate length and Modulation adjustment per step
• Probability, repeats and ratcheting per step
• Microtonal tuning
• Adjustable shuffle per track, shuffle mode customization
• Timing divisions/multiplications per track
• Built-in quantizer
• Random pattern generator
• 16 banks of 16 pattern memory

The Black Sequencer features 4 channels with CV, gate and modulation outputs, up to 64 step sequences that can be chained into songs, independent track time divisions, multiplications and lengths. It includes a built-in quantizer, LFOs, envelope generators, parameter randomization, a MIDI in/out and many other features essential for composing and performing electronic and experimental music. Even though it provides many programmable parameters per step, it’s intuitive, easy and straightforward to use, and we believe that it will become a master controller for many modular setups.
