Intellijel Tetrapad Tutorials

Note the first four videos in this series were previously posted. The rest just went up today. You can use the player controls to skip around if you like. Also, the playlist skips from chapter 9 to 12 because modes 10 and 11 are currently empty. There are plans to add more modes, and Intellijel will be sure to make more videos at that point.

Tetrapad: Chapter 3 - Keyboard Mode

Published on Nov 25, 2017 intellijel

"Chapter 3 introduces Tetrapad's Keyboard Mode. Here you can select from 12 scales, and play a chord with every note of the scale. You can also rotate the note assignments, invert chords, and use portamento!

Tetrapad is a versatile, multi-dimensional, touch-sensitive control surface for Eurorack. Each of its four pads use force sensing resistors to respond to both the vertical position of your finger and its pressure. Four push encoders and a shift function give you even more tactile control over your modular system.
Tetrapad operates in numerous modes — each of which configures the module to perform a specific control task. Through these modes, Tetrapad can emulate a bank of faders; a voltage storage device; a finger drumming surface; a chord generator; an 8-key keyboard; four independent LFOs; or an 8-switch panel. The chosen mode determines what type of signal (CV, note, trigger, gate, etc.) is sent from each of Tetrapad’s eight independent outputs, while its multitude of multi-colored LEDs keep you informed of exactly what’s happening within each mode.
Tetrapad automatically remembers how you’ve configured each of its modes, and retains these settings when powered off. By default, Tetrapad automatically saves these settings every minute, or whenever you change modes. This makes Tetrapad ideal for live performance, since you know it will always power up with your configurations intact."

Tetrapad: Chapter 2 - Voltages Mode

Published on Nov 25, 2017 intellijel

"In Chapter 2 we check out Tetrapad's Voltages Mode, which turns the four pads into a panel of eight buttons that can each send eight stored voltages. This puts 64 stored voltages at your fingertips which can create a sort of preset memory for your modular system! Voltages can be randomized, and they can also be slewed to make them slide from one set of values to another.

Tetrapad: Chapter 4 - Custom Keyboard Mode

Published on Nov 26, 2017intellijel

"Chapter 4 explores Tetrapad's Custom Keyboard Mode where you can create your own eight key scales. However, each key of your custom scale is able to send a different note to four different targets!"

Tetrapad: Mode 1 - Fader Mode

"In Chapter 1 we check out Tetrapad's Fader Mode, which turns the pads into four touch faders able to output simultaneous position and pressure controls.

Intellijel Morgasmatron: Unfiltered Possibilities (Filter Demo With No Talking)

"This is the third generation of Intellijel’s much loved Korgasmatron filter designed in collaboration with David G. Dixon.

The Morgasmatron features two completely independent six-mode filters (labeled “A” and “B”) — each with its own mode-select knob, input, output, cutoff, resonance, Q-drive and gain control. Each filter has a pair of CV inputs (one with a built-in attenuator and the other with a built-in attenuverter) for modulating cutoff, and another CV input for modulating resonance. Both filters self-oscillate at maximum Q, and produce pitched sine waves that track the two separate 1V/OCT inputs.

You can use the two filters independently of one another, or you can use them together (in either a series or parallel connection) and smoothly crossfade between them using either the XFADE knob or the XFADE CV input and built-in attenuverter. You can flip the DRY switches to instantly bypass either or both filters; invert the phase of Filter B; or overdrive Filter A by switching on the new Overdrive circuit. A MIX output provides (as you might suspect) a mixed output of the two filters.
