4ms QCDEXPKIT Overview
Expand the capabilities of your clocking system with the silver 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 silver 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
