MUSICAL FEATURES

Erica Synth Pico Quant is an advanced CV Quantizer with unique features.This unit, which supports microtonal quarter tones and achieves high-precision quantizing, allows you to easily create and save custom scales via a dedicated web interface.

  • 8 preset scales 
  • Edit scale with web-based interface
  • Supports micro tonal (quarter tone)
  • Adjustable quantize approximation
  • Adjustable glide between each note
  • Supports external clock input

HOW TO USE

Like the general CV Quantizer module, Pico Quant applies the quantize of the scale selected with the SCALE button to the pitch CV input to the CV IN, and outputs it from the CV OUT.You can check the selected scale by the LED color next to the SCALE button. If there is no external clock input to CLK IN, a trigger signal is output from CLK OUT every time the scale changes.If you want to quantize according to the external clock, patch the clock signal to CLK IN. The GLIDE control sets the glide time between notes, and the TOLERANCE control adjusts the approximation at which the quantizer works.This is a parameter that defines how close the fluctuation of the input CV is to the next note value, and the knob will be 50% at the minimum left full value, and the input CV will be 50 to the next note value. % The output changes when approaching.At maximum knob full right, the approximation is 10% and the output does not change until it is fairly close to the next note value.This feature is especially useful when using random CVs or noise as a source.

Pico Quant Scale Design Interface

From your computer or smartphonehttps://www.ericasynths.lv/quant/You can access to design your own scale with quarter tone accuracy, or choose from 4 pre-programmed scales to upload to your module.

  1. Open the web interface
  2. Connect the headphone output of your device to the CLK IN of the Pico Quant.
  3. Start designing any scale or select a scale from the drop-down menu
  4. When designing a scale, first choose between a regular chromatic scale or a microtonal (quarter tone).
  5. Once you have decided on the scale to upload, press and hold the SCALE button on the module for 2 seconds to enter upload mode (LED = blinking).After selecting the desired slot in the drop-down menu, click UPLOAD to start uploading and the LED will flash green to notify you of the completion.
