Nonaquant

Overview

40hp

Nonaquant is a 16 channel polyphonic 9 octave quantizer

Nonaquant

Basic Operation

Send (1 to 16 channels) CV signals to the IN input and get 1volt/octave quantized CV signals back from the QUANT output

If the TRIG input is connected, the quantized note will only change on > 0 volts triggers

The number of channels connected is displayed by the dynamic text below the IN input

The All Seeing Eye knob at the top left controls which channel is visualized by the lights and knobs

Click the keys to activate the desired notes, the notes selected apply to all channels

When the BEND and PORTO inputs are NOT connected, the knob controls this parameter and applies it to all channels, when the inputs are connected, each channel takes its value directly from the CV signal overriding the knob value

BEND will add or subtract semitones to the quantized note, you can use an envelope, for example, to create a bend effect

PORTO will introduce a slew to note changes up to 1 second long

The TRANSPOSE inputs are all monophonic and activate on > 0 volts triggers

The global TRANSPOSE will move all notes up or down, notes can move from one octave to the next

The individual octave TRANSPOSE will move only the notes in that octave, notes that are moved past the top or bottom of the octave, will be lost

Memory Banks

Nonaquant has 16 module & 16 plugin memory banks

These banks store the set of active notes

Module memory banks are per instance of Nonaquant, and are saved in the patch

Plugin memory banks are shared between all instances of Nonaquant, and are saved in the Rack2\DanTModules.json file

The right-click context menu has options that allow you to save the currently selected notes into a memory bank

There are also options to manually load a memory bank, or clear all the currently selected notes

There are two separate polyphonic inputs that allow you to load a specific memory bank, a trigger on a channel will immediately load the corresponding memory bank

Note Readout

You can enable the note readout via the right-click context menu

When enabled there will be a display below the keys that show the quantized note selected for each active channel in the format of channelNumber[NoteName OctaveNumber]
