"The Robaux SLØP1 is a handsome and quietly powerful tool for note quantizing and chord creation.
In Chord Mode, each key can be assigned its own chord, which can then be played directly. These chords can be defined entirely freely and you are not limited to transpositions or fixed progressions.
In Scale Mode, you can create your own scales and map them directly to the keyboard, perfect for solos. Unlike classic CV quantizers, SLØP1 even works polyphonically.
Designed to work seamlessly with modern Eurorack sequencers as well as your good old MIDI treasures."
"I'm still putting this new 3PT module from Robaux through its paces. This time it's in the Euclidean rhythm setting, dividing the clock source into all the various triggers you're hearing. I did layer it up a bit so it wasn't all live but I'm still pretty impressed with how much these three modules are able to deliver."
"This video was supposed to be a time lapse of me soldering together the 3PT from Robaux but there was some error and none of it got recorded. Oh well, the cycling LEDs on this module are mesmerizing enough."

"The module offers seven different modes. These include a performance tool, chord generator, random generator, quantizer, sequencer or LFO. The modes can be changed by pressing the mode button in the top right. The ring-shaped display shows which mode has been selected.
Tripot
In Tripot mode you can control three parameters of your Eurorack with just one knob - perfect for live performances. You can set the voltage of the large knob individually for each channel. Whether from 0V to 5V, 5V to 0V or something in between. With the offset parameter you can determine whether the change is parallel to the big knob or whether it is moved to the beginning or the end. You can use the CV input with an external CV source instead of the big knob.
LFO
In LFO mode you can use the module as a triple modulation oscillator. The big knob sets the main frequency. Each channel has an adjustable frequency multiplier. You can blend smoothly between sine, triangle, sawtooth and rectangle and shift the phase of each waveform. You can use the CV input with an external CV source instead of the big knob.
Chord Progression
In chord progression mode, you can output triads. Connect it to a CV keyboard and play harmonious chords. You can select the root note between C to B and set the mode between major and minor. The seven matching chords are placed on the white keys of an octave. With the variation control you can spread the notes. For each channel you can set whether the notes are quantized within an octave and also set a note offset to generate atonal chords.
Quantizer
In the quantizer mode you can use the module to quantize incoming notes on up to 25 different scales. Connect a CV keyboard and you will always hit the perfect key! Each channel can use a different root key and scale. The individual scales are divided into five banks. In each bank there are five different scales. It takes some practice to find the right scale, but it is a great way to quantize CV on notes.
Random Generator
You can use the module as a random generator. Plug in a trigger signal to generate three different random voltages. You can set the minimum and maximum random voltage per channel. The voltages can be output linear, or as notes in the scales chromatic, major and minor.
Sequencer
You can use the module as a step sequencer. Connect a clock source and let the sequencer play melodies with up to 8 steps. You can set the note values from trimmer 1 all the way clockwise to trimmer 4. The middle trimmer 5 defines the length of the sequence. The sequencer outputs the linear voltage on channel one. The voltages are output chromatically on channels two and three. The sequence will be split if you reduce the number of steps and output separately on channel two and channel three.
Euclidean Rhythm
You can also use the module as an euclidean rhythm generator. Add a clock source to the CV input and the tripot will output trigger signals. You can define per channel how long the sequence should be and how many pulses are sent in this time. With the rotation parameter you can move the sequence in time."
"With the SWT16+ you can now use MIDI devices like drum machines or samplers.
Each track of the sequencer can now output an individual MIDI note to one of 16 MIDI channels.
These extended functions are made possible by an alternative firmware, which is based on the original firmware. However, to enable the new MIDI output, the previous functions Trigger Mod and Output Routing have been removed."
"I patch a very complex chaotic clock source using the Befaco Burst module!
Also featuring IME Piston Honda MK3 and Kermit MK3, Big T Music´s builds of Monsoon and uOC, Robaux´s Tripot and Joranalogue´s Contour 1."

"Did you know that the trigger outputs of the Robaux SWT16+ can also be used to control CV inputs? Of course, there are only low or high. See the sequencer in action with the Sample Drum, playing a sliced loop from an old hiphop #vinyl."
"At Superbooth 2019, we talked with Robaux developer Robert Menzel, who gave us a hands-on demo of his ginormous 16-track drum computer - a scaled-up version of his SWT16+ 16-Track Eurorack trigger sequencer."
