Q 173 with manual
The Q173 Gate Math module divides and multiplies gates and clocks, produces random gates, sequence patterns, drum patterns, bursts of pulses, counts, and various irregular patterns.
Four separate outputs are individually programmed with hundreds of possible options.
Six configurations can be programmed then selected manually or via voltage control. Each configuration selects the options you've programmed for each of the 4 outputs. This allows you to easily switch between divisors or patterns.
Gate output options include Binary which has a 50% gate time, Trigger which has a short 5ms gate time, and Gate which duplicates the width of the incoming gate. The output can be switched between normal and inverted polarity, and the S option causes the first incoming step to be skipped. This allows for an amazing array of possible output patterns.
Each of the 4 outputs can receive its gate/clock from the IN jack, or from other outputs using the Source setting.
Setting options is easy - just set the desired option with the top knob and the three toggle switches, then press the Set button for the output you want to program.
The Simple setting provides quick access to divide-by-2, 4, 8, 16 at the 4 outputs.
Without a plug inserted into the IN jack, the Configuration knob and jack operates as an internal clock source to drive the outputs. This clock is available at the Thru jack. This allows the Q173 to be used as a stand-alone gate sequencer, random gate source, or drum pattern generator.
The Q173's wide array of features and programmability makes it the most powerful and unique gate math module available.
