The Q-LINEAR module is a versatile and dynamic Quad V/Octave Engine.
It corrects the non-linearity and extends the usable range of all that oscillate.
Allows the polyphony in your modular system, extensible by multiple of 4.
Features per engine (firmware V1.0)
● Self test to know the exploitable limits of the VCO on a range of 14 octaves.
● Auto-tune: Single or Dual curves with T° measurements and linear
interpolation, to follow the temperatures drift inside in your case.
● Transposition by Octaves (push & turn) and Semitones (turn) for a fast and
intuitively tuning with an encoder + full information feedback on a display.
● Quantizer + Sustain 0n/0ff.
● Portamento/Glissendo with balance & timing adjustment (Encoder or CV1, 2).
● Control external device (G/T1 or G/T2) like ADSR.
● 2 Modes Tuner.
Global features
● 4 fast user presets via push buttons + 28 user presets via Encoder.
● 3 calibrations resolutions for a free choice between "tune time/resolution".
● Global Tuner.
● MIDI interface:
○ Multiple Q-LINEAR for a unique and easy Command&Control.
○ Simple firmware upgrades.
○ And more....
● Inputs chaining for polyphonic use.
● Convertion 16 bits In & Out.
● High resolution Temperature sensor.
● Polarised power header and protection against reverse polarity.
● Delivery with a short MIDI cable (stereo jack).
● Eurorack 10 HP wide.
The origin
The transposition section of the Q-LINEAR is based on an original design by the musician Vangelis, it takes again the ergonomics of the transposition section of this machine which was manufactured in 1993 by the designer of Alyseum.
