Dnipro Modular qTone

Dual-channel musical quantizer with arpeggio and CV routing

6 HP Eurorack module

qTone is a dual-channel voltage quantizer that constrains incoming control voltages to musical scales, transforming free-running LFOs, random sources, and sequencers into melodic pitch information. Each channel operates independently or shares a scale, with built-in arpeggio generation, portamento, transpose, and CV-routable parameters for expressive, evolving melodic patches. Its scale editing, multiple built-in scales, and Rainbow arp mode give it a generative, musically intelligent character.

Features

  • Dual independent quantizer channels with optional shared scale mode
  • 12 user-editable scale slots
  • 11 built-in default scales including Chromatic, Natural Minor, Major, Phrygian, Harmonic Minor, Dorian, Penta Blues, Minor Chord, Minor+3, Penta Major, Major7
  • Per-channel Glide/portamento between quantized notes
  • Pre-quantize Offset parameter for voltage transposition before quantization
  • Post-quantize Transpose parameter in semitones
  • Trigger input per channel for sample-and-hold style quantization in-beat
  • Built-in arpeggiator with Up, Down, Pendulum, Random, and Off modes
  • Arpeggio range selection in octaves
  • Arpeggio start note selection
  • Arpeggio manual reset via encoder or CV
  • Rainbow mode for non-repeating dynamic melodic sequences
