PWM of Sequantizer Gates with Mix module

2002-04-20 by grantrichter2001

The gate 1-8 outputs of the Sequantizer module are diode 
isolated so they may be "wire or'ed" at a multiple. However the 
gate signal does not go low with the clock pulse, this make it 
difficult to use two successive stages as a trigger for an 
envelope.

By using the AND logic mode of the Envelator Mix module, you 
can PWM the gates and get a correct trigger pattern for rhythmic 
trigger patterns from the gates.

Here's how:

1. Set the Envelator MixMod control to maximum and Mix to 
minimum
2. Put a dummy plug in "Mix1", disconnecting Env1 (a dummy 
plug is just a patch cord with only one end connected, this is 
used to break a normalization on a module).
3. Make a pattern of some of Sequantizer "Gates 1-8" at a 
multiple, then route a patchcord from the multiple to "Mix2" input.
4. Set the Classic VCO to low speed and route the Pulse signal 
to Sequantizer "Step" input and the Mix module "MixMod" input.
5. Route the Mix output to a Envelator or other envelope 
generator "Gate" input.

What happens: Since the gates signals are now ANDed with the 
clock, they will only go high only for the pulse width of the clock 
signal. This will correctly trigger the envelope on consecutive 
stages. By patching the Classic VCO "Rand" output to the PWM 
input, you can have random articulation (varying gate times) of 
the rhythm pattern.
