I have the TM-116 and Quantizer modules from Analogic ACS, and I've
been extremely happy with their performance and power. I was a little
confused at first about the quantizer, because it really is optimized
to work with the sequencer. Both modules have a range of 2.5 octaves,
which will be increased to 5 octaves in a future upgrade of the
quantizer. So, while there is no reason that you couldn't use the
Quantizer with other modules, you would need to understand what it is
meant to do.
Regarding the banana jack format, it would be very difficult to use
the full power of this system in any other format, and they do have a
patch panel to convert banana to 1/4", or vice versa. The reason for
this is that each step of the sequencer can be tapped to trigger
multiple events, and you can stack banana jacks on the output for
this purpose. I'm currently using mine to drive the pitch of a bank
of VCOs, and also to trigger my drum modules.
The owners at Analogic ACS have been very helpful in answering
questions about how to use their system, and how to integrate the
sytem with my other gear, and they have even helped me with mods to
my other gear when needed to get the desired results. If you have any
questions about the gear, I would encourage you to contact them and
find out for yourself:
