DMT Compass

$9.00 $12.00

Compass - a quirky cartesian sequencer from DMT Audio. Control the step movement (Up, down, left, right, or random) of a 4x4 grid of control values via Trigger inputs for each direction to create interesting, self-similar sequences!

Instructions

Inputs

ADD - Control the active step via a CV value - this maps -5v to 5v onto steps 1 - 16. For example, -5v will move the sequencer to Step 0, 0v will move to Step 8, etc. RESET - Trigger Input (Rising edge over 2.5v) will cause the sequencer to return to step 0 (Top-left most step).

RAND - Trigger Input will cause the sequencer to jump to a new step at random and send a Trigger Out.

TRANS - Tranpose thre current values by 0-11 semitones.

SCALE - Choose the scale to quanitze values to - currently includes Chromatic, Major & Minor and the modes, as well as Major and Minor Pentatonic.

CV KNOBS (1-16) - Choose the output note for each step.

DIRECTION TRIGGER IN (N,E,S,W) - Trigger Input will cause the sequencer to move in the given direction, and send a trigger out.

Outputs

CV OUT - Sends the voltage from the active step.

TRIGGER OUT - Sends out a trigger whenever the active step changes.

Hints & Tips

The active step will wrap around to the other side (i.e. Triggering a 'RIGHT' when already on the right-most step, will cause the sequencer to wrap back to the left-most step on the same row.

Connect a LFO to different Clock Dividers and connect those to different directions to get some funky patterns!
