Random Works - nQuencer

nQuencer is a Eurorack module that turns the AtoV 16n faderbank into a step sequencer.

Connect a 3.5mm stereo cable 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.

Push the reset button or send a gate to the input to move 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.

NOTE: Building the nQuencer module involves surface mount soldering using 0603 components and is therefore not recommended unless you have experience with similar projects. Aside from soldering tools you will require a multimeter to calibrate and suitable equipment to programthe microcontroller if you didn’t purchase one with your PCB.

Features:
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 upto 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 upto 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

Options
• hold the reset button to enter settings mode, use the faders to change settings and press the button to exit
• direction up, down, up down, random
• probability chance of a note firing
• output voltage range max 1v, 2v, 3v, 4v
• fader at bottom note off, output 0v, last fader not at bottom controls sequence length on/off
• gate length
• alternative reset input mode on/off

Quantizer
• root note
• scale - chromatic (semitones), ionian (major), aeolian (natural minor), harmonic minor, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, major pentatonic, minor pentatonic, blues, disabled (unquantised)
