4ms Quad Clock Distributor Expander Kit Eurorack Module (12 HP, Black Panel)

4ms QCDEXPKIT Overview

Expand the capabilities of your clocking system with the black 4ms Quad Clock Distributor Expander Kit, a DIY, 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 Kit includes all the components needed to complete the module as well as a black panel.

Note:

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

Full DIY Kit

• Includes all the parts necessary to build a full-featured QCD Expander
• Intermediate/Advanced-Level Kit: Soldering proficiency required
• Tools Needed (Not Included):
  • Soldering iron, solder
  • Flush snips
  • Needlenose pliers (for removing a component if you make a mistake)
  • 5/16" and 3/8 socket driver (optional: pliers will work too if you re careful)
  • Multimeter (for reading resistor values if you don t know the resistor color-code chart)

Features 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
