Just so I follow:
There are 4 inputs and 4 outputs, plus 1 clock input.
In quantize mode the clock is ignored and the outputs just quantize the
inputs.
In SH modes the outputs change on the rising edge of the clock.
How many scales are available?
I have a Modcan dual quantzer:
http://www.pugix.com/top-cabinet.htm#quantizerVery useful is the pulse output which gives a short trigger pulse every
time the output changes. So I suggest adding 4 Pulse Out jacks.
Fitting voltage control features for a quad module into a 2U panel will
be a challenge. I'll have some fun thinking about this.
