Triggering the Qu-Bit Wave sampler with the Qu-Bit Rhythm for drums, the Qu-Bit Chord adds chords over the drums. The Varigate 8 is being used for extra cv to movie around the pitch on the wave sampler. All of the audio is being put thru the Intellijel Linix and being gated by maths and Qu-Bit Contour quad envelope. Some compression is added by the WMD MSCL stereo compressor.

Rhythm, from Qu-Bit Electronix, is a four channel trigger sequencer with built in rhythmic patterns. Each of the four channels have a rhythmic variation knob and corresponding CV input, to offset or change the rhythm out of that channel. The four channels each have their own outputs as well as mute buttons, for ease of mixing. There are four genre banks, each with twelve patterns, making a total of 48 grooves, not including the variation. Both the Genre and Pattern parameters can be voltage controlled. Rhythm makes it extremely easy to match tempos to a DAW, having a BPM read out of the internal clock (controlled by the large center knob), although one is not slaved to this. It also has a Clock In, in case it needs to be something other than a master clock. Reset and play buttons add some performative features for live adjustments.

The Qu-Bit Wave is a high-quality 4-channel sample playback module. Offering four channels of one-shot playback from SD card, the Wave even features varispeed / pitch control for each channel.

Introducing: Bloom v2

video upload by Qu - Bit

"Our fractal sequencer has blossomed into something new, yet familiar. Follow along as we take a quick look at the new and improved Qu-Bit Bloom v2, a 3-channel, 64 steps per channel CV and gate sequencer with a whole lot of tricks up its sleeve!

Pre-Orders are now available. Shipping everywhere May 27, 2025!"

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

Update: press release follows:

Qu-Bit Electronix readily reimagines mainstay sequencer as Bloom v2 with additional features and configurability compared to predecessor

SAN CLEMENTE, CA, USA: Q-Bit Electronix, acclaimed as a California-based modular synthesis brand behind the likes of Data Bender, Nebulae, Stardust, and other premier Eurorack modules, is proud to announce availability of the Daisy platform-based Bloom v2 — readily reimagining its mainstay sequencer as a multi-channel fractal formulation offering an abundance of additional features and configurability compared to its predecessor in ways that its creators collectively could not have hitherto imagined, yet perfectly aligns with an already established ethos of turning a knob and creating musical magic — as of June 18…

As a three-channel, 64-step CV and gate sequencer at its roots, Bloom v2 provides all the bread and butter controls considered necessary for creating a catchy, melodic sequence. Saying that, though, a quick push through the ‘leaves’ — like a tree, the enhanced Eurorack module in question features up to 128 different paths from the eight-step ‘trunk’ sequence’s seven ‘branches’ (taking those eight steps up to 64) to reach those ‘leaves’ and allow everything to musically bloom — reveals just how impressive its available array of controls actually are. After all, Bloom v2 lets users dial in any and allsequence data on a per-step basis — not just the note pitch. Put it this way: while it is perfectly possible to set gate state and length, slew amount, and ratchet amount — read: real (clock-synchronised) ratcheting, no less, users can also allow Bloom v2 to generate any aspect of the sequence by pushing the new reseed button, effectively dice-rolling the sequence for a fresh new take with each push of that button!

“Bloom was really the beginning of our foray into Qu-Bit’s new design ethos, whereby the module can take the wheel and generate beautiful music, if you want it to.” So says Qu-Bit Electronix Co-Founder Andrew Ikenberry by way of an alluring opener, before going on to reveal, “There was so much we wanted to do with the first Bloom, but couldn’t due to the hardware limitations of the time; now, with the Daisy platform, flexible USB port, and bespoke sequence editor, we really feel like Bloom v2 is the de facto Qu-Bit sequencer!”

And advancements have clearly been made above and beyond Bloom. Outside of having an additional channel and double the step length for sequences, Bloom v2 can save and load sequences — and their ‘branches’ — to and from a connected USB drive. Taking things several steps further, Qu-Bit Electronix has gone so far as to integrate a web-based sequence editor on Narwhal (https://narwhal.qubitelectronix.com/), its settings web app, where users can edit every aspect of a sequence — even editing the branch steps, so they can access a fully-programmable 512-step sequence — as well as setting a host of preferential behaviours and settings. Since sequences can be saved as individual files, users can share their sequences with other Bloom v2 users, adding the potential for a rich community of sequence-builders.

Eagle-eyed users of Qu-Bit Electronix’s original fractal sequencer Eurorack module will, without doubt, first become aware of a change brought about by Bloom v2’s updated layout, irrespective of its impressive new features. For instance, the main sequence encoders are now in a horizontal arrangement, with an intricate arboreal pattern weaving between each step. Furthermore, front panel artwork also acts as an eye-catching reference by illuminating which ‘Tune Mode’ the step encoders are using, with five different step editing modes currently available — namely, Note Pitch (illuminated in blue), Gate Length (green), Slew Amount (orange), Ratchet Amount (purple), and Mod Output (white).

Worth noting is the fact that the three channels on Bloom v2 each sport a new output — labelled mod 1, mod 2, and mod 3, respectively — as a CV modulation-focused affair that is fully sequence-able alongside the (self-explanatory) gate 1, gate 2, and gate 3, plus note 1, note 2, and note 3 outputs of the two other channels. But better still, there are three different output modes to choose from when working with those new outputs, Shapes being the default mod output as an LFO shape-builder mode, whereby each step can output a unique LFO shape or ratcheted variant of that shape, allowing usersto build complex modulation strings that are synchronised with the ‘trunk’ sequence; Envelope mode outputs a simple AD (Attack Decay) envelope with per-step peak control; and Stepped Voltage mode outputs a fixed voltage per step between 0V and +5V, perfect for velocity or stereo pan sequencing.

But Bloom v2’s sequences are not just outputted as voltages. Thanks to the new MIDI output and included TRS-to-MIDI cable, it can drive any MIDI-equipped device with its fractal power, and, at the same time, an onboard USB port allows it to become a MIDI host. Try transposing the sequence with a chromatic keyboard or triggering full pattern swaps on the fly with a MIDI controller.

Concludes Andrew Ikenberry: “Bloom v2 really opens up generative sequencing in a whole new way. Indeed, it can be random, while surprisingly intriguing and musical, and I’m excited to share this new evolution of our sequencer with the modular community.”

Clearly, then, Bloom v2 is evolutionary, hitting all the sweet spots as a creative sequencer with its immediacy and fine-tuning abilities all rolled neatly and imaginatively into an 18HP-width Eurorack module that adds a handful of requested additions as well as a few unexpected but game-changing new features. Furthermore, it is future-proofed by being based on the easily-updatable Daisy platform, so Q-Bit Electronix will continue tending their readily reimagined mainstay sequencer while watching how Bloom v2 blossoms throughout the modular community, members of which who can continually content themselves with planting the seeds of their next patch in the meantime.

Bloom v2 is available worldwide from Qu-Bit Electronix’s growing global network of distributors (https://www.qubitelectronix.com/distributors) with an MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of $499.00 USD or directly via its dedicated webpage (which includes more in-depth information) here: https://www.qubitelectronix.com/shop/p/bloom-v2

NAMM 2020: Qu-Bit Data Bender, Cascade, Surface & Aurora

Published on Jan 18, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"Qu-Bit debuted four new modules at NAMM 2020, including the remarkable Data Bender.

Qu-Bit presented the Aurora reverb, Surface physical modeling voice, and Cascade envelope generator—but of all their new offerings, we were most taken with the Data Bender. Andrew Ikenberry describes in detail the inner workings of this peculiar and outright destructive new Eurorack effect.

Designed to create several flavors of glitches and audio defects, the Data Bender is at its core an up to five minute digital audio buffer. Geared toward creating the sounds of failing recording technology (like neglected tapes, skipping CDs, and software glitches), the Data Bender turns "undesirable" sounds into entirely new types of musical effects.

Ultra Metric

Ultra Metric from Joseph Fraioli on Vimeo.

"A patch exploring three new modules, the SSF Ultra Random Analog, Qu-Bit Electronix RT60 and Macro Machines Storage Strip.

SSF Ultra Random Analog (URA):
The URA is the main clock source by way of random pulse output. the pulse density is being modulated via the Synth Tech e350 in LFO mode for more sporadic gestures and events. The Pulse out is also simultaneously dictating the pitch of the two sound sources - the Make Noise DPO and Cylonix Shapeshifter. Additionally, the sound source for metallic hi hat thats comes in mid way are from the URA as well. this is achieved by running an osc into a sample input (in this case a Hertz Donut MKII into sample input b) and outputting via the toggle output. This feature is very useful for creating analog bit crushed timbres as well as FMed analog bit crushing type sounds when using both sample inputs. for further sculpting, a synced and attenuated LFO (Modern Quad LFO) is going into the clock cv input which creates a filter of sorts to the hi hat sound. this is then put through the Flame FX6 reverb.

Qu-Bit Electronix RT60:
The RT60 is the main reverb source you can hear on the DPO LPG plucks in the patch, additionally it is the source of the flanger, chorus, pitch delay and tremolo whose parameters are being modulated by the Synth Tech e355. the presets are being stepped through via the SSF URA, with the same trigger that is sequencing the oscillators pitch. The RT60 has 7 sequence modes for switching between effects, in this patch i am using mode 1 (top to bottom)

Macro Machines Storage Strip:
Here i created 16 different presets for the Mungo d0 who's delay times are somewhat in tune with the overall piece. the presets are sequenced in random mode via the SSF URA random pulse output. various slew settings on the d0 causes interesting artifacts between delay settings when being sequenced.

Performance notes:
To create the effects throws and gated effects gestures i set up an aux/send system that i can control in the performance via make noise pressure points outputs. going straight into a VCA with the effect on the audio input for gated effects as well as instances with an envelope for one shots with decay trails. pressure amount also determines how the effects are performed - swells, volume etc.

Pressure Points pressure out channel 1 - DPO/Optomix through Qu-Bit RT60 as a gated effects send.
Pressure Points pressure out channel 2 - DPO/Optomix though the Modern Dual Delay as an effects send for throws.
Pressure Points pressure out channel 3 - Cyclonix Shapeshifter though the Mungo d0 and Macro Machines Storage Strip set up as a gated effects send.
Pressure Points pressure out channel 4 - Cylonix Shapeshifter though the Tiptop Zdsp set up as an effects send for throws.

Ambient melody is the Qu-Bit Electronix Nebulae playing an original piano recording in loop mode through the Make Noise Echophon and MMG."

"EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRONIC MUSIC EXPERIENCE" - PIOTR GARBACZONEK (FULL LIVE PERFORMANCE AT BERKLEE)

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thank you all so much for watching my performance!
Date: December 14th, 2021
Location: B54 at Berklee College Of Music, EPD Labs
(Electronic Production and Design)

This show was my showcase as part of my EP-491's final project for my major. Aside from finishing a 5-track EP in a semester, I also was preparing this set for a very long time along with all the music. I decided to pull in a few songs from my previous EP: Experimental EP, Vol. 01, to spice up the performance a bit. The songs included were: Conformity, as the first song after the modular-only section; Time, which was the song at the end of the set with the QR code to my social media links. Everything else was songs from the past 4 months.

All the visuals were edited beat by beat, a song by song in Adobe Premiere Pro, and then rendered and then put into an Ableton Session to be played in a specific earlier-defined order.

I divided the show into 2 sections: Ambient Experimental, and Glitch Experimental.

The first part included rhythm-free elements only and primarily played on various modular synths, up until the 13th minute, where modular synths were supporting all the songs played in order.

The second part included various drum elements, as well as glitch music and frequency spectrum bending polyrhythms.

In terms of gear used, I used my Zoom L-12 Multitrack Mixer, to record all of the individual inputs directly into Ableton. Ableton had different effects in the effects chain of each track depending on what was necessary for each one.

For all the weird clock-driven, laser-sounding fast atonal sounds, I used the CMS MR-15 Modular System based off of the ARP 2500. For some chords and mild sawtooth progressions, I used the Blue Marvin 2600, which is based on the ARP 2600 with built-in Spring Reverb. The Blue Marvin was sequenced by one of my Qu-Bit Bloom Sequencers running in the minor key.
The master clock for everything was the ALM Pamela's New Workout, and it was clocking the CMS, Blue Marvin, 2x Qu-Bit Bloom, Qu-Bit Chance, Moog Subharmonicon (which was doing all the background pads), and Mutable Instruments Rings.
There were various other sequenced sounds, including Mutable Instruments Plaits as a 32-step arpeggio in minor, as well as Mutable Instruments Rings, going through Clouds as a textured effect.
Cwejman VCO-2RM was running through Qu-Bit Tone's LPF, and directly out as a very low analog sub.
The E340 Cloud Generator was my analog Wavetable synth, which I played directly on the Arturia Keystep MIDI-Controller, by sending it pitch information only, and running it through MI Ripples, and out.
The Instruo Arbhar was running in stereo mode, and that one was doing all of the tapping and scratching noises in left and right channels. It has a built-in condenser mic, so I was tapping it on the spot to fill up some space in transitions for some ASMR effects haha.
That's pretty much it in terms of gear used.
If you have any questions about anything, please don't hesitate to ask in the comments. I will happily answer.

Again a huge thank you to Wiggz for doing some cool action shots while I was playing.
This is his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCItL...

And thank you to Dr.B for being an amazing professor, and leading me through the last stretch of my EPD Journey, as well as opening new doors for me for the future.

New Qu-Bit Prism - Multidimensional Signal Processor Eurorack Module

Published on Mar 14, 2019 Qu - Bit

"Prism is a multidimensional signal processor that creates a framework for the spectral metamorphosis of any input signal.
This stereo audio buffer can be navigated through on 3 axes, each of which provides a different sonic journey through its array of time based controls.

The X and Z planes are home to a flexible delay line capable of long clocked delays, slapback echo, or comb filtered vocoder-esque timbres. On the Y axis is the decimate control. This sets the audio fidelity of the buffer by manipulating the sample rate and bit depth of the output. A state variable filter with configurable low pass, high pass, and band pass outputs can be enabled at the beginning or end of the signal chain providing yet another dimension of spectral transformation. And thanks to its digital architecture, the current buffer contents can be locked in place with the Freeze control, creating glitch and beat repeat effects which can be synced to an external clock source.

The Prism blurs the lines between DSP effect, filter, and looper and transcends into a new realm of uncharted audio processing."

Qu-Bit Electronix Prism *FIRST PATCH* // Stereo Eurorack FX, filter and more!

Published on Mar 14, 2019 DivKidVideo

"So here's the new Prism from Qu-Bit Electronix and here's my first patch playing around with it before the full in depth demo follows in the near future. It's a stereo input and output multimode filter, freezer, comb filter / delay line and decimator (downsampling). The combination of FX pairs together really well and it's taken to a load of modulation really nicely too."

Patch Notes
∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿∿

∿Swirling Pad∿
Chord mix out going into Clouds Input R. Since I'm only taking the Output L from Clouds, the Chord mix is only heard when the blend knob is turned clockwise and the signal becomes wet -- otherwise, only the Plucky Melodies can be heard. Chance's Discrete output is controlling the Chord Inversion, while the Blend output is controlling the Waveform. A gate from Pamela's New Workout toggles the Chord's voicing between Close and Spread. Chance's waveform output is controlling Clouds' Size parameter.

∿Plucky Melodies~
Chord's Root, 3rd, 5th, and 7th outputs. Root and 7th going to LxD's 6dB and 12dB filters respectively before being sent to Tangle Quartet, whereas the 3rd and 5th go straight to Tangle Quartet. All are plucked/struck by Pulsar outputs 1-4, with each channel in Euclidean rhythms mode. The Smooth output from Chance is going into Pulsar's Mode input, rotating the rhythms. The mix from Tangle Quartet is going into Clouds Input L, to be mixed with Swirling Pad.

∿Morphing Bass / Kick∿
STO variable-shape wave straight to uJack. Pitch is controlled by Ornament + Crime, and Shape by the multed Blend output from Chance. A gate is being sent to the Lin input, so turning the corresponding knob clockwise morphs the STO between a static bass sound and a pulsing kick drum.

Qu-Bit Chord V2 Polyphonic Eurorack Oscillator & Prism Stereo Time & Filter Based Effect

Published on Jun 26, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Qu-Bit Electronix has released the version 2 of their Chord oscillator. This version is smaller than the first one at only 14HP, and it adds custom wavetables and custom chord tuning as well as new control modes. The Chord V2 makes it much easier to produce four note polyphonic sequences in eurorack than trying to use four separate oscillators.

The Prism is an interesting combination of time based effects that can produce comb filtering and delay effects, there is also a multi-mode filter and decimator effect. The order and routing of these effects can be changed and the delay can be frozen giving many different effect options from this one module. The Prism is also stereo!

We used two Verbos modules for an envelope and VCA/Filter, The Control Voltage Processor and Amplitude & Tone Controller.

El objetivo de este tema era hacer un patch percusivo con el modular. En el Arbhar tengo un sample de estática de la radio que paso por el filtro del Qu-bit Prism. Con un sample and hold desde PAM's lo modulo rítmicamente creando el patrón rítmico más agudo.
Despuén en el Moog Subharmonicon tengo un patch de Bombo que paso a través del Qu-Bit Mojave, y así lograr unos golpes que recuerdan a toms haciendo el beat algo más complejo.

Esa capa base quedó grabada durante un par de semanas sin que tuviera opción de añadirle nada más e iba a subirla así, pero decidí crear una linea de bajo con el Analog Four, un arpegio y una textura con el OP-1 y por último un lead/textura con el Matriarch.

The objective of this song was to make a percussive patch with the modular. In the Arbhar I have a sample of radio static that I pass through the Qu-bit Prism filter. With a sample and hold from PAM's I modulate it rhythmically creating the rhythmic pattern.
Later on the Moog Subharmonicon I made a Bass Drum patch that I pass through the Qu-Bit Mojave, and thus achieve some hits that are reminiscent of toms making the beat somewhat more complex.

That base layer was recorded for a couple of weeks without me having the chance to add anything else to it. I was going to upload it like this, but I decided to create a bass line with the Analog Four, an arpeggio and a texture with the OP-1 and finally a lead/texture with the Matriarch."

Qu-Bit Electronix Shows Their New Nebulae, Scanned & Synapse Modules

Published on Feb 2, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Andrew from Qu-Bit Electronix brought a case full of their modules by to show us their three new modules. Their Nebulae V2 is an updated version of their first module, a granular sample player and sampler that is stereo and can have custom firmware loaded onto it. The Scanned is a VCO that uses scanned synthesis to generate wavetables on the fly by analyzing a system based on a model of springs. The Synapse is a sequential switch with way more options than the standard switch including randomized routing, crossfading and memory locations for routing presets.
