The Quadigy is a complex envelope generator focused on live play. The goal is to allow the user setting up rich, interactive and dynamically evolving envelopes without the risk of breaking up a subtle and intricate patch once on stage. This is achieved by offering two main modes, one where full control is available and a Live mode where only the settings that are sensible using on stage are accessible.
Update notes
Be sure to use to read the latest manual when updating the Quadigy to the latest firmware.

In recent Facebook poll “What module you recently obtained ended up being far better than you expected?” Daniel Miller (artist and producer) answers:
“Klavis Quadigy. I had high expectations and they were exceeded, especially the CVability (is that a word??) which takes it to another level.”
