R_WARE STEP

Divide continuous signals into a sequence of evenly spaced steps!

Get in step and make your waveforms steppy! Divide unipolar and bipolar signals into evenly spaced steps with optional smoothing for the transitions. Convert a signal into triggers and gates that depend on the current signal value divided into steps!

MANUAL

Connections:

  • IN
    • input signal to process
    • control the input level with the attenuverter knob on the top right of the jack
  • TRIGGER
    • outputs a trigger every time the signal advances to the next step above or below
    • the length of the trigger can be controlled with the small knob on the top left of the jack. Set the length of the trigger precisely in samples. At 0 the output is effectively muted. Regular trigger signals are 1 sample long. However, some envelope generators might need longer triggers to work properly.
  • GATE
    • outputs a gate for the duration of smoothing during step transitions
    • Set the level of the gate output with the attenuverter knob on the top left of the jack
  • OUT
    • outputs the stepped signal according to the configuration
    • set the output level with the attenuverter knob on the top left of the jack

Controls:

  • SMOOTH
    • applies smoothing to the step transitions
    • attenuate the CV input with the attenuverter knob on the top right of the jack
  • STEPS
    • determines the number of steps the signal will be divided into. all steps are equidistantly/evenly spaced in the set range (default: -5V to +5V)
    • attenuate the CV input with the attenuverter knob on the top right of the jack

Config Menu:

  • POLARITY
    • Bipolar
      • treat positive and negative part of the waveform equally
    • Unipolar
      • treat positive and negative part of the waveform independently
    • UniBipolar
      • mix of Bipolar and Unipolar polarity
  • ROUNDING
    • Floor
      • Round values down to the closest integer number
    • Nearest
      • Round values either up or down to the closest integer number
    • Ceiling
      • Round values up to the closest integer number
  • RANGE
    • Choose from a multitude of available range options that determine the analyzer range which will be divided into STEPS number of steps
  • DENOISE
    • De-actiate the input dithering by activating DeNoise
    • With DeNoise inactive the module works as a versatile noise source when no input is connected. Use the SMOOTH control to change the noise color.
