Intellijel Scales

Dual quantizer with harmonic intelligence and sequencing

8 HP Eurorack module

Scales is a dual-channel note quantizer and step sequencer that transforms unruly control voltages into harmonic musical phrases. It feels like having a music theory professor in your rack — intelligent and versatile, capable of creating sophisticated harmonic relationships from simple inputs. The module excels at creating shifted intervals, dual-voice harmonies, and complex scale-based sequences with an elegant, keyboard-inspired interface.

Features

• Dual independent quantizer outputs with harmonic interval control
• 5 shift modes: PRE, DIATONIC, POST, ROOT, and SCALE
• 128-step SH-101 style step sequencer with note/rest/tie entry
• 35 scale storage slots in 5 banks of 7 scales each
• Live scale learning from external pitch sources
• Chromatic and diatonic interval generation between outputs
• Voltage-controlled root and scale selection
• Programmable trigger delay compensation
• Factory scale collection including major/minor modes and world scales
• Full calibration system for pitch-perfect quantization
