The QCD Expander is an expansion module for the Quad Clock Distributor (QCD). The QCD Expander adds a host of features, turning the QCD into a programmatic non-linear sequencer. Each channel gets a CV Trigger Delay (Pulse Width) jack and knob, an additional output jack with three selectable modes, and attenuverters for all CV input jacks. Self-patched evolving rhythms and swing/shuffle patterns are easily obtained, as well as complete control over standard rhythmic patterns.
Features:
Connects to QCD module with a 16-conductor ribbon cable (included)
More features are added to each QCD channel: ◦Multi-mode output jack INV OUT mirrors the tempo of main QCD output
Mode Switch for each INV OUT jack: ◾ Delayed Trigger Mode
Inverted Gate Mode
Shuffle Mode (delayed + original trigger)
PW/Delay knob controls trigger delay time on INV OUT jack (or pulse width in Inverted Gate Mode) ◾Also controls Pulse Width of main QCD OUT jack
CV input jack for external control
Attenuverter allows for one channel to precisely modulate another channel's delay or pulse width
Div/Mult CV attenuator knob ◾Controls how much the signal on the main QCD's Div/Mult CV jack will modulate the tempo
Useful for precisely modulating the speed of one channel with another
Global LED brightness can be adjusted from the front panel
