intellijel Scales Dual Channel Note Quantizer and Sequencer Eurorack Module (8 HP)

Lock and Step

• Scales is an 8 HP dual-channel note quantizer and step sequencer. Fundamentally, it takes an input voltage, quantizes it to notes in a user-defined scale, and sends that quantized voltage to an output, where you can use it as a melodic pitch source for oscillators or any other module that expects to see discrete note values at its input.
• Scales goes far beyond the fundamental, allowing you unprecedented control of the pitches and intervals hiding inside your control voltages; turn LFOs into arpeggiators, random voltages into harmonic counterpoint, and unquantized external CV sequencers into chromatically tuned note sequencers.
• Quantization can be locked to an incoming trigger. There are a number of trigger output options as well, ranging from no triggering (good for pitch shifting drones); through triggers that sync with either of the two outputs (or both); to a trigger or gate transmitted in sync with one sent to the module�s TRIG input.

Shift

• Scales features two independent outputs, enabling you to create shifted harmonic intervals within your chosen scale using only a single pitch input. Using the SHIFT input you can modulate changes on OUT A and/or OUT B.
• You can also use the shift input to switch between scales or to change the root of any existing scale pattern or split Scales into two quantizers�each conforming to a common scale but fed entirely different voltage sources.

Sequence

Scales also features a 128-step SH-101 style step sequencer (complete with storage for up to 35 fully programmable patterns), allowing you to feed OUT B with sequenced notes and rhythm patterns, while OUT A continues to function as a standard pitch quantizer for external voltages. You can even sync the sequencer to quantizer events on OUT A.

Additional Features

• SHIFT/PITCH inputs and A/B outputs operate in a -10v to +10v range with 1v/oct scaling
• 1-octave keyboard for selecting scale notes in real time and LED buttons provide visual feedback of quantizing
• Save and recall up to 35 different scales and sequences, arranged in 5 banks (black keys) of 7 scales each (white keys)
• 35 factory scale patterns included
• High-resolution precision DAC for accurate pitch generation
• Adjustable trigger delay
• Input filtering eliminates jitter and glitches
• Low latency with a fast ARM processor
• LEARN function allows you to monitor external sequences or inputs and learn notes from them
• Tuning mode, so you can conveniently tune connected VCOs
• ROOT function allows you to set root with or without shifting your current scale to match
• USB port on back for easy updates of firmware
