4ms QCD Expander (QCDEXP)

The QCD Expander is an expansion module for the Quad Clock Distributor (QCD). The QCD Expander adds a host of features, turning the QCD into a programmatic non-linear sequencer. Each channel gets a CV Trigger Delay (Pulse Width) jack and knob, an additional output jack with three selectable modes, and attenuverters for all CV input jacks. Self-patched evolving rhythms and swing/shuffle patterns are easily obtained, as well as complete control over standard rhythmic patterns.

Basic features

Connects to QCD module with a 16-conductor ribbon cable (included)
More features are added to each QCD channel:
- Multi-mode output jack INV OUT mirrors the tempo of main QCD output
- Mode Switch for each INV OUT jack:
  - Delayed Trigger Mode
  - Inverted Gate Mode
  - Shuffle Mode (delayed + original trigger)
- PW/Delay knob controls trigger delay time on INV OUT jack (or pulse width in Inverted Gate Mode)
  - Also controls Pulse Width of main QCD OUT jack
  - CV input jack for external control
  - Attenuverter allows for one channel to precisely modulate another channel's delay or pulse width
- Div/Mult CV attenuator knob
  - Controls how much the signal on the main QCD's Div/Mult CV jack will modulate the tempo
  - Useful for precisely modulating the speed of one channel with another
Global LED brightness can be adjusted from the front panel

Module size:
The QCD Expander is 12HP and 0.98" (25mm) deep.
Four knobbed pots have a metal shaft and nut. Eight knobless pots are center-detent with white indicator line.
