DNIPRO MODULAR qTone Dual-Channel Quantizer

qTone quantizer tutorial video upload by DNIPRO MODULAR

"Here is a step by step qTone module demo.This will involve creating some tunes with a quantizer."

"The Dnipro Modular qTone is a two-channel quantizer for Eurorack systems, providing an easy way to convert any CV signal to perfectly quantized musical notes. With 16 user-defined scales, you can effortlessly tailor your melodies to perfectly match the tonal make-up of your music, or get creative by layering two different scales on each quantizer channel. Both channels feature options for Glide or portamento, Offset, which adjusts CV value pre-quantization, and Transpose, which nudges quantized CV values up or down in semitones.

Each of the four quantizer settings may be controlled by CV, opening up highly flexible options for continuously morphing melodic sequences. Finally, utilizing the Trig inputs allow you to operate the quantizer much like a sample and hold, only passing a newly sampled voltage when a trigger is applied. This is useful for creating rhythmic pitch changes when using non-clocked CV sources like LFOs. With so much melody-mangling potential in just 6hp, qTone from Dnipro Modular is a fantastic choice for quantization in any system.

Interlocking hands: Minimalist generative piano (Qu-bit Bloom, Disting EX)

video upload by Electrum Modular

"Recently I’ve been playing minimalist pieces on the piano (Phillip Glass, Howard Skempton) that involve both polyrhythms and overlapping hands.
For this video, I transferred the idea to my modular system, splitting an F minor sixth chord across two sequencer channels, and clocking the channels at different rates (x2, x3).
The sequencer (Qu-bit Bloom) generates 64 variations on this pattern, a stage sequencer selects 12 of them, and a multisample player (Disting EX) performs them. Further details in the patch notes.

Ewa, add-on for the Krait module

video upload by DNIPRO MODULAR

"Introducing Ewa, a little lovely Kraits expander."

Image and details via Nightlife Electronics' Reverb shop. It was the first result to come up searching for the module, and Nightlife Electronics supports the site.

Ewa was created as a partner to the Krait module, a syncable 3-channel modulation source. Paired with Ewa, Krait will get new useful abilities, such as 3 freely routable cv inputs, endless encoder for smooth editing without value jumps, dedicated clock menu button and clock and reset outputs.

Each CV input can be used to record external cv source in Record mode. You can route it to any parameter of the LFO and Random too. With Ewa now it is easy to modulate LFO rate or Random slew for example. CV inputs are bipolar and react to the signals between -5 +5 voltages.

Additionally a dedicated clock menu button and clock output can make Krait as a clock source for other modules in your system that need sync.

To use Ewa, you need to install firmware 2.0 on Krait.

Eurorack CV Modulation Recorders

video upload by John Schussler

"Headphones on, please. This vid leverages the stereo image as part of the demo.

Modulation recorders are handy for coordinating modulation moves with a melodic or rhythmic sequence. You could also use a full sequencer, but in many cases that's overkill. These modules do the trick without too much complexity. (Though it must be acknowledged that the Voltage Block does market itself as a sequencer of sorts.)

These four all offer at least 3 channels of cv recording. Some are limited by steps in the sequence, some by memory. Also note that the level of quantization (simplifying the smooth recorded curve into something more stairstepped) varies from module to module. Lastly, note that they output different voltage ranges, which in some cases can be customized.

All work well for their assigned purpose, no duds here.

Source audio: Dixie II+, using an Morgasmatron as the target of modulation. I added a pulse from a second Dixie II+ to give me some rhythm to move along with. Modulation with no rhythm to it sounds a bit uninteresting in this context.

"Today we are checking out a tiny eurorack synthesizer from DNI Pro Modular. It is called DOT and is a 3-track sequencer with polymetric capabilities. And it is a lot of fun."

New DNIPRO DOT polyrhythm sequencer

Published on Nov 27, 2019 DNIPRO MODULAR

"INTRODUCTION of a 3-channel eurorack trigger sequencer DOT. Two DOTS are linked together and control analog bassdrum and hi hets from q&d by Andrii Kuzmenko with Plaits and Peaks from Mutable Instruments.
Create rhythms on a fly and creatively vary them."

"3 channels pattern generator

Dot is handy feature-packed tool for generating and managing rhythmic triggers in your system. It can fire drums, generate variable pulses, divide clocks, create polyrhythms on a fly with several twist of a knob or with deep, careful pattern programming. Both generative and manual program techniques can be combined, f.e. you can create pattern with euclidian algorithm and then edit it in xox style or shift it with cv inputs to a new levels of variety.

Despite of its slim form factor, DOT has 3 channels of patterns on a board and can be extended with additional DOTs, that can be chained together.

General features:

3 channels trigger sequencer in 6 hp

euclidian pattern generators and XOX step programing

real time manual recording

3 routable bi-polar cv inputs

ability to save and load patterns

programmable ratchets

swing

flip-able interface

stable clocking with ultra low latency

several modules can be chained to share clock and reset

Introducing Metamorph by DNIPRO MODULAR

Published on Apr 30, 2019 DNIPRO MODULAR

"Metamorph is a versatile eurorack sequencer and cv controller, that can control and sequence several parameters at once."

"Metamorph

Eurorack sequencer / Cv controller

Metamorph is a versatile 4 stage x 3 channel cv source with built in sequencer and glide. Inspired by a Serge Tcherepnin concept, Metamorph is designed to control several parameters at once and creates a complex cv source for eurorack system. Each channel is represented by a column of pots, while each column is divided into 4 individual stages by rows, with corresponding button and gate out. It is possible to change stages manually by pressing stage buttons or to sequence them by external sources, like clock, lfo, envelopes etc. Metamorph has a special user sequence feature, which allow to program play oder and duration of the stages, create unique sequence with individual timing per stage and memorize it.

Operating Metamorph is quick and immediate in a good analog fashion, with single control per function. Two modules can be linked together to create a 8-step sequencer with dual CV outs per channel. Additionally, every channel has a deep glide control for performing fast or really slow voltage slides between stages. And, of course, there are ordinary sequencer cv inputs, like reset, hold and revers direction.

Features
3 channels x 4 step sequencer
glide per channel with wide range
two modules can be chained to create 8 stages and double outputs
selectable voltage ranges, uni or bipolar
