Having only used the quantizer mode on the disting mk4, I've had access to built in attenuation and offsets... though only through menu diving, which has led to sorta "set it and forget it" behavior. I hadn't even considered using a separate utility module until this video. Its like, the pieces were there and I was even using them... but damn, this brought me a sort of an epiphany moment seeing you manually shaping that incoming signal. Things just clicked. Thanks for the demo. Definitely wanna get my hands on this beast!!!
try sending that LFO into the uFold! I made a similar patch recently (lfo>maths for attenuation/offset>uFold>penrose quantizer>vco) and the folded LFO wave brings in a lot of interesting shifts in tempo and melody.
Yeah, that's a great idea! Complex LFO shapes = complex arpeggiation patterns. Shapeshifter and Rubicon are great for that too... For this video I wanted to keep it simple with a basic triangle wave so it's easy to follow
uScale only accepted 0-10V unipolar input, Scales accepts -10 to +10 and outputs -10 to +10 so you can quantize full sweeping LFOs/envelopes. Same for the Shift input (full -10 to +10V range). This also facilitates the new "DUAL" mode where shift input can be used as a separate pitch input to process and quantize LEARN function allows you to monitor external sequences and learn the scales from them. Either to make new scale from scratch or add to your existing scale. Interval functions also allows you to enter a special tuning mode so you can conveniently tune your VCOs connected. Also unlike uScale you can set an interval of zero. Root function allows you to set root with or without shifting your current scale to match. (Something that was confusing to a lot of people Very fast ARM processor for low latency and special filtering to eliminate glitches. USB port on back for easy updates of firmware. Keyboard rotated to more logical right handed orientation with RGB buttons.
@@ScottMFR thanks very much for the detailed response! Have been considering a quantiser for a while (haven't been doing "musical" stuff so far), and the uScale was top of the list... Will take the plunge on this. Cheers!

That's exactly the sort of thing I want to hear when I make these videos! Glad you found it useful Casey...
Totally understand this feeling ^_^
Sounds Awesome

superb , so much can be done with this
It seems the theme Stranger Things, at some point :D
Yes, i thought the same @ 1:07
Yeah because that song is in that same scale. Almost all eurorack arpeggiators can do it, it’s fun.
I like it.
Looks nice! how is it different to the µScale?
