INTRODUCTION
We know this Guide it's not the best literature we could
be reading but it will be extremellJ important to have
an overall understanding all of the fundamental
operational procedures and getting full potential out of
it.
So we fulllJ recommend that lJOU read the whole
document at some point. most things lJOU'll onllJ need
to read once. cause once lJOU understand the opera-
tional procedures everlJ feature is right there at the tip
of lJOUr fingers.
Nevertheless lJOU can start blJ reading the first pages
that will alreadlJ put lJOU up and quantizing.

SIMPLE VCO's SETUP
So lJOU just installed the Intuitive Quantizer in lJOUr
SlJstem and powered it up for the first time!
Llou saw the lights blinking showing the default
factorlJ presets after which the default C Major scale
lits up on the kelJboard area.
Assuming lJOU immediatellJ want to plug it to lJOUr
VCO's lJOU should plug cables from OUTS 1 to 4 to lJOUr
VCO's (showing red in the image on the left). If lJOU
have less than 4 VCO's plug them 1 to X depending on
the VCO's lJOU have available at the moment.
After this Set all lJour 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 lJOU'll need to go into KelJboard Mode
pressing Button 1 for a couple seconds. Lights will go
all On besides the Active note being plalJed.
(Read
At this point lJOU should rotate the KELl/OCTAVE Knob to
FS label and press C note in the kelJboard (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 lJOU set lJOUr VCO to in the previous step.
So now that lJOU have the same 4V going in all lJour
VCO's Tune all them all to the same C note until thelJ
plalJ in Unison.
After this lJOU can start plalJing a major C Scale in lJOUr
kelJboard (like defined blJ the scale setting in the initial
Quantizer Mode) and all lJour VCO's should still be in
tune.
Now lJOU can also change the KELl/OCTAVE Knob to
plalJ lower or higher octaves.

QUANTIZER BAB~ STEPS
So now that vco·s are tuned we want to start quantiz-
ing some signals.
First we need to get out of KelJboard Mode back to
Quantizer Mode. For this we need to press Button I for
a couple seconds. Lights will change and displalJ the
Active Notes selected, should still show C Major KelJ.
At this point lJOU should plug anlJ CV signal into IN jack
of NOTE 1 (top left jack).
lmmediatellJ all outputs will send the same voltages
to all VCO's and thelJ all should plalJ tuned.
Now we're able turn notes On and Off blJ pressing the
corresponding kelJboard 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/ KE~BOARD
The Intuitive Quantizer can be used in two Main Opera-
tion Modes QUANTIZER and KELlBOARD 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 activellJ selected.
Let's call these sets of Active Notes the Active Scale.
The Active Scale. represented blJ the Menu Buttons. will
light
up according to these selected notes (drawn in
red in the image on the left).
EverlJ time a new note is quantized on Voice I the
correspondent button will blink momentarillJ.
To avoid visual confusion other Voices will not blink.
KELlBOARD MODE:
In KelJboard Mode it's the User who manuallLl controls
which note will be plalJing
It acts as a Monophonic KelJboard and all leds are lit
besides the one note plalJing. Once a note is plalJed the
output will staLl on that note until another note is
plalJed.
There is no OFF in an analogue quantizer!
In KelJboard Mode. if the user is using Notes intervals
to generate chords it will keep the same notes as
defined in Quantizer Mode. This means that in KelJboard
Mode Notes 2-3-4 will still respect the notes selected
in Quantizer Mode and will not plalJ anlJ note that is
not selected in Quantizer Mode.

Revision.O3 JullJ.2O13
ADDAC Sl:ISTEM page 8
KE~/OCTAVE
The Km/OCTAVE switch relates to the MAIN MODE selected.
In QUANTIZER MODE it's used to select the KelJ or Root Note
In KmBOARD MODE it's used to select the KelJboard Octave
SCALE SETTINGS
With the Scale Settings it's possible for the User to select
the settings for the scale to obtain.
These settings work with the Km/OCTAVE switch and the
SET Km button.
MINOR/MAJOR defines one of the 2 main scales.
b / N/ # defines if scale is:
b (flat). N(natural) or # (sharp)
affecting the scale of
MINOR/MAJOR. the N position provides a blJpass.
SET KE~
The Set KelJ 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 blJ:
Km: C
Setting
1: # (sharp)
Setting 2: Major
Besides this automatical method for setting a scale the
User can as well and at anlJ point change the
Active Buttons toggling them On(Lit) or OffCUnlit) to
select the quantization notes.

QUANTIZER
VOICES 1-4
There are 4 Quantization Voices. these can be used
either lndependentellJ: when an Input is plugged in the
IN Jack or related to Voice 1: when no input is
connected on either Voice 2. 3 or 4.
If no voltage input is used voices 2. 3 and 4 will
automaticalllJ
relate to Voice t
ThelJ 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.
Each Voice features 4jacks 1/0:
IN (-Sv +Sv): Voltage Input for Quantization
OUT (Ov +10v): Quantized Voltage Output
GATE IN (0 +Sv): Trigger Input for External
Quantization timing. If this input is used it onllJ Quan-
tizes next note onllJ when a trigger is received. If it's
not used then it will quantize depending to CV changes
onllJ.
This Gate In ON/OFF detection is made in the software.
After the detection goes On. and if the user removes
the gate in jack it will automaticalllJ goes to Off after
60 seconds. If the user want to reset voices before the
60 seconds period Button 6 (Gate U 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 2 and 6 at the same time.
This will resume the behaviour without regarding the
Gate In until a new jack is plugged in.
GATE OUT (0 +Sv): Gate Output for ADSR's
Outputs everlJtime 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
KelJboard.
For Menu related Access the Push-Button needs to be
pressed for aprox. 1 second after which the Leds
change to give User the necessarlJ feedback to
acknowledge his input.
Once this happens the Module is alreadlJ in the Menu
Windows recalled blJ the User.
In these Windows lJOU'll see the active setting identi-
fied blJ the onllJ 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 alwalJS the confirmation of the
desired setting and it automaticalllJ jumps out of the
Menu Window back to the previous Main Mode
(QUANTIZER / KEldBOARD) Window changing the leds
as well.
While in anlJ Menu Window, after 5 seconds of inactiv-
itld with the Menu Buttons the Module automaticalllJ
jumps out of the Menu Window back to the previous
Main Mode (QUANTIZER/ KEldBOARD) 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 thelJ will not be saved.
COLOR CODING
Buttons are numbered in ldellow from 1 to 12, other
color engravings are coded depending on their func-
tion:
Black is used for Overall settings
ldellow is used for Chords Generation Settings
Blue is used for Scale Temeprament and Fine Tunning
Settings
White is used for Scale Mode Settings (lorian, Dorian .. .)

INTUITIVE MEN U(cont.)
Here's a complete description of the Menu functions:
BUTTON 1 (QUANTIZER/ KELlBOARD)
Pushing this button for aprox. 1 second changes between QUAN-
TIZER and KELlBOARD 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 of +1 to +12 semitones. Major/Minor 3rds will be automati-
calllJ selected depending on the scale defined.
In this window lJOu'll see onllJ one button lit indicating which
interval is selected.
Pressing a non-lit button changes the setting to that selection and
changes the lit kelJ for visual feedback.
Pressing a lit kelJ is the confirmation of the desired setting and it
automaticalllJ jumps
back to the previous Main Mode (QUANTIZER /
KELlBOARD) 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.TLlPE = QUANTIZER TLlPE (BUTTONS 3, 5 and 6)
OnllJ Buttons 3, 5 and 6 can be selected in this window.
Quantizer TlJpe 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 anlJ voltage that
is not in the scale range (BUTTON 5).
In this window lJOU'll see onllJ 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 10OOOms,
selectable from buttons 1 to 12.
In this window lJOU'll see onllJ one of the buttons lit indicating
which setting is selected.

INTUITIVE MEN U(cont.)
BUTTON 7 = TRIG.R. = TRIGGER REPEAT (BUTTON 7)
OnllJ Button 7 can be selected in this window.
Imagine an analog kelJboard and lJou·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 lJou'd press the C4 kelJ, if the Trigger Repeat setting was on, it
would
do exactllJ the same thing. although the Output would
alreadlJ be in C4 so no change there but it would give a new Gate
On. retriggering lJOUr external ADSR.
If Trigger Repeat would be Off then it would not output gates when
quantizing to the same note it alreadlJ is quantizing to.
In this window onllJ regards to button 7, if Lit setting is ON. To exit
this window press anlJ other Button than 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 lJOU need to press a button for 3
seconds, with this setting lJOU can change this value from SOOms
to 5 seconds to adjust it to lJOUr 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 lJOU 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 +Soctaves.
The Range is from -3 to +8 octaves. Button 4 for is for O 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)
OnllJ 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 easlJ to transpose a
scale to anlJ kelJ without the need to retune the whole instrument.
In Non-Equal scales the intervals ratios are calculated from the Root
note or the scale kelJ.
User's can select from 5 different temperaments:
PURE: The Mitical La Monte Lloung'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
thelJ use t2v/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 anlJ 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 permanentllJ in non-volatile memorlJ
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. PhrlJgian. LlJdian.
MixollJdian. Aeolian. Locrian) abreviated in White to match mode
numbers in Llellow ( 1=1. 2=0. 3=P. 4=L. S=M. 6=A. 7=U.
This Setting is onllJ used when Pressing the Set KelJ Button and
normalllJ is BlJppassed.
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 onllJ one led lit indicating
which
preset is currentllJ 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 lJOU wish to save to and
hold the PRESET Button (12) for aprox. 3 seconds. after which it will
exit the Menu Window.

GATE L. - Gate Length Operation - Buttons I to 11 and 12
This setting is shared blJ all 4 Voices.
Default value is 40 milliseconds (Button 3).
The Minimum value for this setting is 10 milliseconds (Button 1) the maximum is
10240 miliseconds (Button II).
Time intervals increase multipllJing blJ 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*r(ButtonX-1)
Button 12 is used for a GATE OFF CONDITION before Quantizing a new note
(described below).
So let's imagine we have alreadlJ pressed the GATE L. Button for aprox. 1 second
and entered in its Menu Window. the Menu Buttons alreadlJ changed to the configu-
ration shown in image 1. displalJing the default setting for Gate Length or Button 3.

If
it's the User's wish to change the Gate Length to anlJ
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 onllJ when
the gate Out is Off.
For ex. Imagine the User had alreadlJ 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 anlJ input
and will not quantize anlJ note until the 10 seconds pass
and the Gate set to Ov.
