QCD Expander

Description

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.

Specification:

• 44 mA +12V
• 30 mA -12V
• 25 mm Depth
