Stages
Segment generator with flexible input/output layout. Each of 6 segments can be independently configured as ramp, hold, or step, and grouped via gate jack detection to form complex multi-segment envelopes, LFOs, step sequences, and more.514
Capabilities 5
- Envelope Generatorenvelope-generator
- Up to 6 segments can be combined into complex multi-stage envelopes (ADSR, AHDSR, AD, AR, etc.) based on which GATE inputs are patched. Multiple independent envelopes can coexist in one module.514
- Function Generatorfunction-generator
- Segment generator whose ramp/hold/step segments combine into complex multi-segment functions - envelopes, LFOs, or sequences.514
- LFOlfo
- A looping ramp segment acts as an LFO with selectable waveforms (variable slope saw/triangle, sine, variable slope trapezoid). Can be tempo-synced when a GATE signal is patched.514
- Sample and Holdsample-and-hold
- A single step segment with a patched GATE input acts as a sample-and-hold, recording the voltage set by slider and CV input at each rising edge of the GATE.514
- Step Sequencerstep-sequencer
- Step segments form the building block of step sequences, with adjustable glide between steps. Up to 6-step sequences are possible within one module.514
