New Club of The Knobs C951A QUAD Arpeggio Router & C951 Arpeggiator

via Club of The Knobs

"The C951A QUAD ARPEGGIO ROUTER may be considered as a driver for up to 4x C951 arpeggiators.
- choose which channel(s) (1-2-3-4-ALL) you want to route to
- choose if you want to PLAY or TRANSPOSE (1-2-3-4-ALL)
- switch to COMMON CLOCK to sync all C951's to one clock source
- enable / disable individual C951's

The C951A router is designed for live performance, i.e. start arpeggio on ARP1, then add 2nd on ARP2 etc. Preset all arpeggiators and then switch them on or off."

C 951 ARPEGGIATOR
"In a classic arpeggiator, there is always a 1:1 relation between a clock pulse and the next played note. This means that ONE clock pulse triggers ONE note (next or previous). With the new STRETCH function, this can be modified in a way that the clock pulse is "multiplied" by a factor. Turning the "STRETCH" fully ccw, all works in the classic way, i.e. 1:1. When increasing "STRETCH"-pot, the arpeggiator starts skipping more and more notes and is of course folded back on the pattern. Therefore you can generate the most interesting pattern modifications from hurrying up and down the scales to reverse and random. The strech-factor starts smoothly with factors like 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.5 to control this feature very precisely." COTK
