Identifying the Firmware Version:
From M1 firmware and above the Firmware version is shown at startup.
Once power is provided the 207 will flash all leds from top to bottom.
Then will briefly double blink 2 single leds, in the M1 case the first led to blink will be
Button 5 (which also has an M letter by it’s side), then it will blink Button 1.
So button 5-3 can be decoded as Firmware M3.
After the 2 single leds blink the module will flash all buttons from the bottom to the top
and will be ready to use.

INTRODUCTION
We know this Guide isn’t not the best literature we
could be reading but it will be extremely important to
have an overall understanding all of the fundamental
operational procedures and getting full potential out of
it.
So we fully recommend that you read the whole
document at some point, most things you’ll only need
to read once, cause once you understand the opera-
tional procedures every feature is right there at the tip
of your fingers.
Nevertheless you can start by reading the first pages
that will already put you up and quantizing.

SIMPLE VCO’s SETUP
So you just installed the Intuitive Quantizer in your
system and powered it up for the first time!
You saw the lights blinking showing the default
factory presets after which the default C Major scale
lits up on the keyboard area.
Assuming you immediately want to plug it to your
VCO’s you should plug cables from OUTS 1 to 4 to your
VCO’s (showing red in the image on the left). If you
have less than 4 VCO’s plug them 1 to X depending on
the VCO’s you have available at the moment.
After this Set all your VCO’s to the lowest Octave
possible and/or desired.
Next step to take is to tune all VCO’s among them-
selves. For this you’ll need to go into Keyboard Mode
pressing Button 1 for a couple seconds. Lights will go
all On besides the Active note being played.
(Read
At this point you should rotate the KEY/OCTAVE Knob to
F5 label and press C note in the keyboard (Button 1).
This will generate a 4V output in all OUT Jacks which
relates to a C note 4 octaves above the main octave
that you set your VCO to in the previous step.
So now that you have the same 4V going in all your
VCO’s Tune all them all to the same C note until they
play in Unison.
After this you can start playing a major C Scale in your
keyboard (like defined by the scale setting in the initial
Quantizer Mode) and all your VCO’s should still be in
tune.
Now you can also change the KEY/OCTAVE Knob to
play lower or higher octaves.

QUANTIZER BABY STEPS
So now that VCO’s are tuned we want to start quantiz-
ing some signals.
First we need to get out of Keyboard Mode back to
Quantizer Mode. For this we need to press Button 1 for
a couple seconds. Lights will change and display the
Active Notes selected, should still show C Major Key.
At this point you should plug any CV signal into IN jack
of NOTE 1 (top left jack).
Immediately all outputs will send the same voltages
to all VCO’s and they all should play tuned.
Now we’re able turn notes On and Off by pressing the
corresponding keyboard buttons.
After this we could also plug more CV signals to NOTE
2-3-4 Inputs and have them all quantizing a diferent
CV source to the same scale.

QUANTIZER / KEYBOARD
The Intuitive Quantizer can be used in two Main Opera-
tion Modes QUANTIZER and KEYBOARD selectable
through the Menu and described further ahead in this
document, for now let’s explain the 2 MAIN MODES:
QUANTIZER MODE:
In Quantizer Mode the Input Voltage is used to trigger
the Quantization Process comparing and adjusting the
input voltage to the closest note actively selected.
Let’s call these sets of Active Notes the Active Scale.
The Active Scale, represented by the Menu Buttons, will
light up according to these selected notes (drawn in
red in the image on the left).
Every time a new note is quantized on Voice 1 the
correspondent button will blink momentarily.
To avoid visual confusion other Voices will not blink.
KEYBOARD MODE:
In Keyboard Mode it’s the User who manually controls
which note will be playing
It acts as a Monophonic Keyboard and all leds are lit
besides the one note playing. Once a note is played the
output will stay on that note until another note is
played.
There is no OFF in an analogue quantizer!
In Keyboard Mode, VOICES 2-3-4 will only play the
notes selected in Quantizer Mode, this allows for chord
playing using notes intervals. This means that in
Keyboard Mode Notes 2-3-4 will still respect the notes
selected in Quantizer Mode and will not play any note
that is not selected in Quantizer Mode.
Voice 1 will play all notes.

SCALE SETTINGS
With Scale Settings the user may set the scale to obtain.
MINOR/MAJOR toggle switch defines of the two main
types of tonal scale.
MINOR here will always refer to a natural minor scale.
The b/N/# toggle switch lets you choose between
a flat (b), natural (N) or sharp (#) root note.
Scale Settings changes are not real-time after the desired
scale is selected the user needs to press the [SET KEY]
button for the changes to take effect.
KEY/OCTAVE
The KEY/OCTAVE switch relates to the MAIN MODE selected.
In QUANTIZER MODE it’s used to select the Key or Root Note
In KEYBOARD MODE it’s used to select the Keyboard Octave
SET KEY
The Set Key Button changes the Active Scale to the one
selected through all the above mentioned settings.
For example, the red buttons in the image show the scale
defined by:
KEY: C
Setting 1: # (sharp)
Setting 2: Major
Besides this automatical method for setting a scale the
User can as well and at any point change the
Active Buttons toggling them On(Lit) or Off(Unlit) to
select the quantization notes.

QUANTIZER
VOICES 1-4
There are 4 Quantization Voices, these can be used
either Independentely: when an Input is plugged in the
IN Jack or related to Voice 1: when no input is connect-
ed on either Voice 2, 3 or 4.
If no voltage input is used voices 2, 3 and 4 will
automatically relate to Voice 1.
They will then mirror Voice 1 input or be used for
Chords Generation as described in the NOTE 2/3/4
section of the Intuitive Menu chapter.
This function of Voice 1 as Master can be toggled
ON/OFF as described in the TRIG.R. menu
Each Voice features 4 jacks I/O:
IN (-5v +5v): Voltage Input for Quantization
OUT (0v +10v): Quantized Voltage Output
GATE IN (0 +5v): Trigger Input for External
Quantization timing. If this input is used it only Quan-
tizes the next note when a trigger is received.
If it’s not used then it will quantize depending to CV
changes only.
This Gate In ON/OFF detection is made in the software.
After the detection goes On, if no gate in is detected
within the next 60 seconds it will automatically go to
Off. If the user want to reset voices before the 60
seconds period Button 6 (Gate L.) can be pressed at
the same time as the voice number Button (1 to 4).
For example to Reset voice 2 Gate In, the user needs to
press Button 6 then press 2 and immediatelly release
both buttons.
This will resume the behaviour without regarding the
Gate In until a new gate in is detected.
The automatic reset can be disabled as described in
the TRIG.R. menu
GATE OUT (0 +5v): Gate Output for ADSR’s
Outputs everytime a new quantization is calculated.
It respects the incoming Trigger Input Gate, while it’s
On the Gate Out will remain On.
The Gate Out will go Off when Trigger In is Off and the
Gate Length time as passed as described in the Gate
Length section of the Intuitive Menu Chapter.

INTUITIVE MENU
OVERALL OPERATION PROCEDURES
All Quantizer Operation Settings are defined through
the same Push-Buttons as Scale selection and
Keyboard.
For Menu related Access the Push-Button needs to be
pressed for aprox. 1 second after which the Leds
change to give User the necessary feedback to
acknowledge his input.
Once this happens the Module is already in the Menu
Windows recalled by the User.
In these Windows you’ll see the active setting identi-
fied by the only button that will be lit.
Pressing a non-lit button changes the setting to that
selection while, at the same time, changes the lit
button for visual feedback.
Pressing a lit button is always the confirmation of the
desired setting and it automatically jumps out of the
Menu Window back to the previous Main Mode (QUAN-
TIZER / KEYBOARD) Window changing the leds as
well.
While in any Menu Window, after 5 seconds of inactiv-
ity with the Menu Buttons the Module automatically
jumps out of the Menu Window back to the previous
Main Mode (QUANTIZER / KEYBOARD) Window chang-
ing the leds as well.
The User can jump to Menu Windows from inside other
Menu Windows using the same Press and Hold for
aprox. 1 second procedure. However if settings were
changed they will not be saved.
COLOR CODING
Buttons are numbered in Yellow from 1 to 12, other
color engravings are coded depending on their func-
tion:
Black is used for Overall settings
Yellow is used for Chords Generation Settings
Blue is used for Scale Temeprament and Fine Tunning
Settings
White is used for Scale Mode Settings (Iorian, Dorian...)

Here’s a complete description of the Menu functions:
BUTTON 1 (QUANTIZER / KEYBOARD)
Pushing this button for aprox. 1 second changes between QUANTIZ-
ER and KEYBOARD Mode.
BUTTON 2 = NOTE 2 (BUTTONS 1 to 12)
Pushing this button for aprox. 1 second will define the interval for
NOTE 2 or Quantizer output 2.
Intervals can be selected from buttons 1 to 12 referring to an
interval from 0 to +12. Major/Minor 3rds will be automatically
selected depending on the scale defined (assuming you choose
a 7 note scale).
In this window you’ll see only one button lit indicating which
interval is selected.
Pressing a non-lit button changes the setting to that selection and
changes the lit key for visual feedback.
Pressing a lit key is the confirmation of the desired setting and it
automatically jumps back to the previous Main Mode (QUANTIZER /
KEYBOARD) window changing the leds as well.
BUTTON 3 = NOTE 3 (BUTTONS 1 to 12)
Same as NOTE 2 for Quantizer Output 3
BUTTON 4 = NOTE 4 (BUTTONS 1 to 12)
Same as NOTE 2 for Quantizer Output 4
BUTTON 5 = Q.TYPE = QUANTIZER TYPE (BUTTONS 3, 5 and 6)
Only Buttons 3, 5 and 6 can be selected in this window.
Quantizer Type defines how the quantization process occurs. There’s
3 methods for Quantizing the input voltage to the closest note:
Above (BUTTON 3), Below (BUTTON 6) or if it omits any voltage that
is not in the scale range (BUTTON 5).
In this window you’ll see only one of the 3 buttons lit indicating
which setting is selected.
BUTTON 6 = GATE L. = GATE LENGTH (BUTTONS 1 to 12)
Gate Length defines to size of the Gate Output from 10 to 10000ms,
selectable from buttons 1 to 12.
In this window you’ll see only one of the buttons lit indicating
which setting is selected.

BUTTON 7 = TRIG.R. = TRIGGER REPEAT (BUTTON 7)
+ VOICE 1 MASTER (BUTTON 2)
Imagine an analog keyboard and you’re pressing C4 over and over, if
this voltage would be sent to the Quantizer voltage input and it
would quantize its output to C4 and output a Gate On, the second
time you’d press the C4 key, if the Trigger Repeat setting was on, it
would do exactly the same thing, although the Output would
already be in C4 so no change there but it would give a new Gate
On, retriggering your external ADSR.
If Trigger Repeat would be Off then it would not output gates when
quantizing to the same note it already is quantizing to.
In this window only regards to button 7, if Lit setting is ON.
Button 2 Activates (led on) and de-activates (led off) the Voice 1 as
a Master for the remaining voices.
To exit this window press any other Button than 2 and 7.
BUTTON 8 = REACT.T. = MENU REACTION TIME (BUTTONS 1 to 12)
Reaction Time defines how long it takes until it enters in a Menu
Window. So far we’ve stated you need to press a button for 3
seconds, with this setting you can change this value from 500ms
to 5 seconds to adjust it to your personal preference.
BUTTON 9 = OCT.OFS. = OCTAVE OFFSET (BUTTONS 1 to 12)
Octave Offset defines the 1v/octave offset from the input to output.
Meaning you can: send a 3v input and quantize it to a 1v output,
offsetting the output to -2octaves; or send a -3v input and quantize
it to a 2v output, offsetting the output to +5octaves.
The Range is from -3 to +8 octaves. Button 4 for is for 0 Offset.
BUTTON 10 = TUNNING (BUTTONS 1 to 12)
This Window is a particular window and shares functions with the
FINE-TUNING function described further down.
1. SCALE TEMPERAMENT(BUTTONS 5 to 9)
Only Buttons 5 to 9 can be selected for this function.
Scale Temperaments defines the ratios used to calculate the scale
semitones. In a standard EqualTempered scale (our standard scale)
all notes interval are equal This is meant to be easy to transpose a
scale to any key without the need to retune the whole instrument.
In Non-Equal scales the intervals ratios are calculated from the Root
note or the scale key,
User’s can select from 5 different temperaments:
PURE: The Mitical La Monte Young’s Well Tunner Piano temperament
EQUAL: Our standard scale
B-P: Bohlen-Pierce
JUST: Just Temperament
EX: Exotic

2. MOOG / BUCHLA Standard (BUTTON 10)
In Eurorack we use the Moog 1v/octave standard but in Buchla land
they use 1.2v/octave.
Button 10 is an indicator for which standard the quantizer operates
to.
Pressing Button 11 & 12 at the same time will change Button 10
state, Off is for Moog Standard, On is Buchla
3. FINE TUNING (BUTTONS 1 to 4, 11 and 12)
This is the Function for User’s fine tuning to adjust it’s 1v/octave
ratio to any particular VCO reaction.
Fine Tuning is independent for each voice.
Buttons 1 to 4 show which voice is active, pressing each of these
Buttons selects a new voice for Fine Tuning.
After the voice is selected, pressing button 11 will increase the
1v/octave relation in intervals of 0.001mV; Pressing button 12 will
decrease the 1v/octave relation in intervals of 0.001mV.
These settings can be saved permanently in non-volatile memory
pressing button 10. This will also Exit the Menu Window.
BUTTON 11 = SCALE MODE(BUTTONS 1 to 7 and 11)
Scale Mode defines which Mode (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian,
Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian) abreviated in White to match mode
numbers in Yellow ( 1=I, 2=D, 3=P, 4=L, 5=M, 6=A, 7=L).
This Setting is only used when Pressing the Set Key Button and
normally is Byppassed.
To activate the Scale Mode function press Button 11 and its light
will change state, Lit is ON.
BUTTON 12 = PRESETS (BUTTONS 1 to 11)
Presets Store all the information related to the Scale defined in
Quantizer Main Mode as well as the main Menu settings (page 26).
When entering this window there will be only one led lit indicating
which preset is currently being edited.
To select and change settings to a new preset just press the
desired one, the button will light up and pressing again will load it
and exit the Menu Window.
To save a preset, select the preset button you wish to save to and
hold the PRESET Button (12) for aprox. 3 seconds, after which it will
exit the Menu Window.

in mind that there are 3 methods for Quantizing the input voltage to the closest
note: Above (BUTTON 3), Below (BUTTON 6) or if it ignores any voltage that is
not in the scale range (BUTTON 5).
As a mnemonic, always remember that Button 3-Above is Above the Q.TYPE
Button and that Button 6 - Below is Below the Q.TYPE Button.
Let’s assume the Active Method is Above (Button 3).
If the User Holds the Q.TYPE Button for aprox. 1

if the User wants to change the Quantization type to
the closest note Below(Button 6) he just needs to
press it once and the led beneath will light up,
pressing a second time confirms the setting and
exits the Menu Window back to the Main Window.
B. IGNORE
if the User wants to change the Quantization type
ignoring all voltages that are not in the selected

The Minimum value for this setting is 10 milliseconds (Button 1) the maximum is
10240 miliseconds (Button 11).
Time intervals increase multiplying by 2, meaning the next button is twice the size
of its previous one: Button 1=10 Milliseconds ; 2=20; 3=40; 4=80... and so on.
It can also be calculated with the formula:
Milliseconds = 10*2^(ButtonX-1)
Button 12 is used for a GATE OFF CONDITION before Quantizing a new note
(described below).
So let’s imagine we have already pressed the GATE L. Button for aprox. 1 second
and entered in its Menu Window, the Menu Buttons already changed to the configu-
ration shown in image 1, displaying the default setting for Gate Length or Button 3.
If it’s the User’s wish to change the Gate Length to any
other size he’ll need to press the desired length button
twice. Let’s assume Button 7 (640 miliseconds)
Once Button 7 is lit (image 2) pressing it once again
confirms the new setting and Exits the Menu Window.
GATE OFF CONDITION
Button 12 acts as a Toggle (Lit = On, Unlit = Off).
It limits the quantization process to happen only when
the gate Out is Off.
For ex. Imagine the User had already pressed Button 12
(image 2) setting the Gate Length to be 10 seconds.
As soon as the module quantizes a new note it will set
the Gate Out to +5v and hold it there for the pre-defined
time of 10 seconds.
With Button 12 Lit (Condition On) it will ignore any input
and will not quantize any note until the 10 seconds pass
and the Gate set to 0v.

TRIG.R. - Trigger Repeat Operation - Button 7
This setting is shared by all 4 Voices.
Default value is Off.
Voice 1 as Master Button 2
Extra Functions in this Menu:
This setting defines if voices 2-3-4 behave as slaves to
voice 1 or if all voices are independent.
If voice 1 is set to Master then all voices without cv inputs
plugged in will follow the output of voice 1.
This is especially useful to generate chords, the user can
offset voice 2 by a 3rd, voice 3 by a 5th and voice 4 by a
7th then the CV input in channel 1 will set the root note
while the other channels will output the other chord notes
(3rrd, 5th, and 7th). These chords will be generated from
the root note and according to the scale defined.
For ex. depending on the scale and the root note the chord
will have a minor or major 3rd.
At any point if a CV input is detected in voice 2-3-4 then
this voice will loose the connection to voice 1 and will
behave as an independet voice.
Gate In Mode Button 3 (FIRMWARE M1 and above)
When ON the Gate In will be automatically detected and

The Minimum value for this setting is 0 Octaves (Button 1) and the maximum is +9
Octaves (Button 10).
This allows for negative voltages up to -5v to be quantized as well. In this case if
Oct.Ofs setting is set to 5 octaves -5v will be quantized to 0v, -4v to 1v and so on.
If Quantized Notes fall off the modules voltage range they will be quantized to the
lowest or highest note possible.
So let’s imagine we have already pressed the OCT.OFS. Button for aprox. 1 second
and entered in its Menu Window, the Menu Buttons already changed to the configu-
ration shown in image 1, displaying the default setting for Octave Offset or Button 1
(0 Octaves Offset).
This setting is shared by all 4 Voices.
Default value is 0 Octaves Offset (Button 1).
If it’s the User’s wish to change the Octave Offset to any
other value he’ll need to press the desired button twice.
Let’s assume Button 2 (1 octaves Offset)
Once Button 2 is lit (image 2) pressing it once again
confirms the new setting and Exits the Menu Window.
Here’s a Table With the Offset values for each Menu
Button:
