"The Q190 tuner module allows you to keep a watchful eye on the frequencies up to 3 oscillators are producing. Frequencies from all analog oscillators will drift slightly as a result of normal changes in internal cabinet temperature. Now it's easier than ever to ensure your oscillators are doing exactly what you want them to do. Whether you are onstage or in the studio the Q190 is a must have for those patches that need precision from an oscillator or oscillator bank."

Q105 Patch Tutorial

video upload by synthesizersdotcom

"We are working on a series of patch tutorials to get people started with their new rigs!

What do you think of the format of the video? Let us know how we can make it better!

A quick video showing a simple Q105 Slew Limiter patch.

The Q105 Slew Limiter is used to limit the change in a signal.
This function is sometimes referred to as 'Glide', 'Glissando', 'Lag Processing', or 'Portamento'.
The amount of limitation is set by a front panel control.
Use the Slew Limiter as a portamento control by routing the keyboard's pitch control voltage through the Limiter then to an oscillator.
Use the Slew Limiter as an 'AR' (Attack, Release) envelope generator by patching in a square wave from the keyboard gate, oscillator or sequencer to control an amplifier or filter.
A switch selects which edge is limited - rising, falling or both.
A manual push button allows the operator to disable the module's function and a jack provides a way to enable/disable using an external signal or a foot switch (useful for portamento control).
An LED indicator shows enabled/disabled status."
