QUAD ENVELOPE QUICKSTART GUIDE
CLK IN:
An external CLOCK INPUT is required for the
automated sequencer to run. Clock is also
received from a Varigate 8+ or 4+ if connected to
the same busboard.
ENVELOPE OUTPUT CHANNELS 1-4:
Connect your patch cables from these outputs to
other module CV inputs to modulate them with
the QUAD ENVELOPE. There are a total of 4
individual envelope/outputs.
RESET:
Gate input for resetting the sequencer to
step 1.
GATE INPUTS:
Each envelope can be re-triggered/restarted with
an individual gate (or cycle without a gate input).
FORWARD/REVERSE/PENDULUM/
RANDOM SWITCH:
Switch to change the direction of the automated
sequencer.
LED BAR GRAPH:
Displays the sequence direction as well as
sequencer/step position.
ENV PARAMETER SLIDERS:
Each of the 4 envelopes include their own set of
parameters that can be adjusted with the sliders.
Select envelope buttons 1-4 and then move the
sliders to adjust ATTACK, HOLD, DECAY, SUSTAIN
and RELEASE per envelope.
ATTACK: Sets the time it takes for an envelope to
reach peak level.
HOLD: Holds the voltage at its maximum value
after the attack is done rising and before the
decay starts falling, per envelope.
DECAY: Sets the amount of decay time to sustain
level per envelope.
SUSTAIN: Sets the level of sustain per envelope.
RELEASE: Sets the time it takes for the envelope
to reach zero level per envelope.
ENVELOPE 1-4 CHANNEL SELECT BUTTONS:
To select an envelope for parameter editing,
press one of these buttons.
RECORD:
To record parameter automation to a sequence
for an envelope, hold the RECORD button while
you move the sliders. Once you’ve recorded
automation for a given parameter the LED on
that slider will be lit.
FAST/SLOW/TEMPO:
Set each envelope to FAST, SLOW, TEMPO.
Quad Envelope will receive tempo data via
busboard clock as well as from clock input.
GATE MODE:
To enter GATE mode, select an envelope button
1-4 and then the GATE button. This mode will
play a standard AHDSR envelope when a trigger
or gate input is patched.
LOOP MODE:
To enter LOOP mode, select an envelope button
1-4 and then the LOOP button. LOOP mode will
loop envelopes without a trigger or gate. The
AHSDR settings determine the speed of the
loop.
GATE/LOOP MODE:
To enter GATE/LOOP mode, select an envelope
button 1-4 and then the GATE and LOOP button.
GATE/LOOP mode loops envelopes only when a
gate is received.
CLEAR:
Holding CLEAR while moving sliders will clear
existing automation recording for that specific
control. Holding CLEAR while pressing a channel
select button will clear all automation for that
channel.
LINK MODE:
You can link envelope channels 2-4 to channel 1
by holding down channel button 1 while
selecting 2-4. You will now see that when you
press the channel 1 button, the buttons for the
other channels that are linked will also be lit.
QuadEnvelopeincludes 4 individual AHDSRenvelopegenerators with individual outputs as well as a 16-step automation sequencer per channel.
Hold the RECORD button and move the sliders for Attack, Hold, Decay, Sustain and Release to animate each of these settings for a given channel.
Autosave in stand-alone mode, or save up to 16 presets of these settings using Varigate 4+ or up to 100 presets using Varigate 8+.
You can set each envelope to either Trigger, Gate, Loop or Gate/Loop.You can also set each individual envelope to either Fast, Slow or Tempo synced
modes. Each automation sequencer can be set to either Forward, Reverse, Pendulum or Random.
The Quad Envelope allows for a multitude of dynamic possibilities for live performance and recording.

YOUR FIRST PATCH
1. Patch output 1 of the Quad Envelope to a module with CV input for
modulation.
2. Patch a clock source into CLK IN and make sure you are receiving clock
(you will see the LED bargraph moving indicating that the sequencer is active
and you are receiving clock).
3. Patch a gate in from an external source to the GATE INPUT JACK #1.
4. Press envelope BUTTON 1
6. Move the sliders for ATTACK, HOLD, DECAY, SUSTAIN and RELEASE to your
liking. Or you can hold RECORD while moving the sliders to record slider
movements to a sequence.
7. If you have recorded slider movements to a sequence, set the switch for the
sequencer direction to your liking. You will now hear your recorded slider
movements play back in the forward, reverse, pendulum or random direction.
8. If you want to clear what you’ve recorded to the sequencer, hold the CLEAR
button and move a slider to clear that parameter.
9. Follow steps 1-6 on each envelope channel or change it up a bit (each
envelope channel can be fully edited).
10. There is an auto-save function. After making your final setting, wait 10
seconds before you power down. Then recycle your power and your settings
will recall on power-up. If you are using the Varigate 8+ or the Varigate 4+ on
the same power bus, you can utilize the memory power of these modules to
save Quad Envelope presets (up to 100 presets with the V8+ and 16 presets
with the V4+).

5. Set the speed (Fast or Slow).
