Compact quantiser, precision adder, and MIDI-to-CV interface

4 HP Eurorack module

The dàil combines a high resolution bipolar quantiser, a chromatic interval precision adder, and a MIDI-to-CV interface in just 4HP. Scales can be programmed locally using the slider and buttons, or imported from a MIDI keyboard via the included 2HP MIDI Expander. The quantiser supports multi-octave patterns with 19 preset major and minor scales plus custom programming. The precision adder runs in parallel, offsetting signals by defined chromatic intervals using a calibrated buffered throughput. An optional sample and hold clock input enables external timing control with AND logic. The module also functions as a monophonic MIDI-to-CV converter with pitch bend, gate, and trigger outputs.

Controls & Jacks (11)

  • CV In— Bipolar control voltage input for the quantiser. Incoming CV is quantised to the programmed scale. Input range: -/+10V.
  • Signal Throughput In— Bipolar control voltage input that sums with the quantised voltage and precision adder bias at the output. Used for transposition. Input ran
  • Output— Bipolar control voltage output generating the summed signal of the quantised CV Input, Signal Throughput, and Precision Adder offset. Output
  • Trigger Out— Generates a trigger signal with every update in quantised voltage. Output voltage: 5V.
  • Gate Out— Generates a gate signal for the duration of any sustained MIDI note message present at the USB Type A Port or TRS MIDI Input of the MIDI Exp
  • CLK In— External clock input for the quantiser sample and hold stage. A rising edge triggers sample and hold after the quantiser engine, before slew
  • Expansion— 3.5mm TRS jack for connecting the included 2HP MIDI Expander to the main module.
  • Slew / Navigate— Multi-purpose vertical slider. In Quantiser mode: sets global slew amount with LED brightness feedback. In Programming mode: navigates chrom
  • Note Down— Multi-purpose button. In Programming mode: toggles quantiser note activation. In Quantiser mode: offsets quantised voltage down by octaves (
  • Note Up— Multi-purpose button. In Programming mode: toggles precision adder note activation. In Quantiser mode: offsets quantised voltage up by octav
  • Interface Select— Three-position toggle selecting the operational interface page. Left: Programming Interface (scale editing). Centre: Quantiser Interface (li
