Quad 8b 32 Channel Analog Sequencer Gate Delay & Clock Divider Test 4mc6

"The 8X4QSMA1 Quad 8b Analog Sequencer. There are 4 banks of 8 channels, fully separate from one another. Each bank has their own External Clock input, Internal Clock control, Gate, Trigger and Portamento CV Output. Bank A has an S-Trigger output. All output jacks are "Switchcraft (USA)" 1/4 inch.

Features of the Quad 8b Analog Sequencer/Controller:

There's a Clock Divider that will divide the clock input as high as X4096. Send the Clock signal into the Ext/Clk input on the Sequencer. You may select the divisions marked on the selector switch. (Gray/White) Control knob. The divisions are: X,X/2,X/4,X8,X16,X32,X64,X128,X256,X1024­,X2048 and X4096. The sequencer will also send that clock signal (selectable on all 4 banks) to operate any or all the banks clock.

Each bank has 12 selectable clock control settings. The first 4 selections will allow you to use any of the banks individual clocks. Each bank has their own manual clock control. The 12 settings for each bank will let you set the clock (for that bank) control: Example: If you want to have Bank A's clock control Bank C at the same time, you'd set the Clock selector from Bank C to run off of Bank A on the selector switch. If you want to have Bank A's clock from Bank's B,C & D, you select A on their Clock selector switch. Now Bank A's manual Clock control will now control all four banks. In sync with each other. There is a Master Reset on the "Off/On/Reset" switch. When pushed up (momentary) it will reset the complete system.

All voltage outputs are Low to High, (Except for the S-Trig, that is High to Low). Master voltage can be selected to be a 5 Volt system or a 12 Volt system. The CV/Output will now put out 0 to 5.45 Volts DC or 0 to 11.50 Volts DC. 12 Volt power adapter is included. For European voltages you will need an adapter to change from 240Vac to 120Vac.

PULSE DELAY CONTROL

There is an input that is marked "Delay In" and "Delay Out" or DL/In DL/Out, how this works is that you can send in any low to high pulse and you will be able to delay that signal and/or increase it's Width. The two controls for the Delay Control is the Black/Green knobs on the panel.

Example: You can take the gate output on Bank A, direct that to the Delay input and then take the Delay's output and run that into Bank B's Clock. Bank A will now send what ever channel you have on and send that pulse through the Delay control. Bank B will now be control via Delay control.

RESET Control, master reset is operated by the Power on switch. Each bank has their own reset button located the left side of their bank. Red Push Button.

There is a "MIX" CV output that will allow you mix the 4 banks CV's.

FREQUENCY CONTROL Each bank has their own "Frq" clock control. This is a manual clock control. Black/Red knob.


One example you can use is that Bank A can control 1 CV output, Bank B use for VCO, and Bank C use for filtering and Bank D to control another device.

There is so many options, they are pretty much endless with this size of sequencer and controller.

The internal control PCB is "Point to Point" wiring and soldering. This is best for no splices between connections. All IC's fully socketed and shielded. Switchcraft Output Jacks. USA Built 04/15/2013

The size of this sequencer is 16x13x5 inches. Solid Unfinished Pine
