QCD Expander

4MS QCD Expander

£125.00

Expansion module for the Quad Clock Distributor (QCD)

The Expander turns the QCD into a programmatic non-linear sequencer, allowing you to easily create everything from self-patched evolving rhythms, to swing/shuffle patterns, to classic dance beats.

Each of the four channels has:

Multi-mode output jack INV OUT, which mirrors the tempo of main QCD output

Mode Switch for each INV OUT jack:

Delayed Trigger Mode
Inverted Gate Mode
Shuffle Mode (delayed + original trigger)

PW/Delay knob controls trigger delay time on INV OUT jack (or pulse width in Inverted Gate Mode)

Also controls Pulse Width of main QCD OUT jack
CV input jack for external control
Attenuverter allows for one channel to precisely modulate another channel's delay or pulse width

Div/Mult CV attenuator knob

Controls how much the signal on the main QCD's Div/Mult CV jack will modulate the tempo
Useful for precisely modulating the speed of one channel with another

A global LED brightness trimpot is accessible from the front panel.
