4ms Quad Clock Distributor Expander Eurorack Module (12 HP)

4ms QCDEXP Overview

Expand the capabilities of your clocking system with the 4ms Quad Clock Distributor Expander, a four-channel expansion module for the clock divider/multiplier module in Eurorack format. The QCD expander adds a ton of features and is capable of turning the QCD into a programmable nonlinear 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. The QCD Expander ships with a ribbon connection cable (to QCD), a ribbon power cable, and mounting screws.

Note:

This is an expansion module and requires the 4ms Quad Clock Distributor (QCD) to operate.

Features Added to Each QCD Channel

• Multimode 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
