Duo Quantize (2016)

Dual quantizer based on Barton circuit

This module contains two independent quantizer circuits, each with a dedicated input and output jack. There are 2 modes of operation which are toggled via the switches: octave mode or standard mode.The selector knobs change between 8 predetermined scales.

Standard mode scales:
1. bypass - input voltage is not altered
2. major - root, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th
3. minor - root, 2nd, flat 3rd, 4th, 5th, flat 6th, flat 7th
4. major pentatonic - root, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th
5. minor pentatonic - root, flat 3rd, 4th, 5th, flat 7th
6. blues scale - root, flat 3rd, 4th, flat 5th, 5th, flat 7th
7. whole tone - root, 2nd, 3rd, flat 5th, flat 6th, flat 7th
8. chromatic - all 12 notes

Octave mode scales:
1. bypass - input voltage is not altered
2. octave - root only
3. octave & fifth - root, 5th
4. octave & flat fifth - root, flat 5th
5. major arpeggio - root, 3rd, 5th
6. minor arpeggio - root, flat 3rd, 5th
7. dominant arpeggio - root, 3rd, 5th, flat 7th
8. chromatic - all 12 notes

The most common way to use this module is to patch from an analog sequencer into the Duo Quantize and then to a VCO's 1V/O input. You will then be able to force the incoming voltage to quantize to an interval on the selected musical scale. LFO's, envelope generators, etc. can also be quantized.
