TON

Duophonic melody looper & quantizer

TON is a 12HP duophonic looper module / sequencer.
It sports two 1V/O outputs with GATE/NOTE/VELOCITY but all this can also be sent via MIDI. Both note tracks are independent of each other and can be used with different octave spreads and scales.

The sequencer is designed as a looper rather than a sequencer, similar as TAKT.
Notes can be played (or deleted) quantised with two buttons: One button is used for note repeat, the other for setting individual events. Pitch is determined by either the potentiometer or the built-in distance sensor, which you can also use for recording of course. The sensor works in a range of about 1 to 40 cm and is independent of extraneous light, even bright sunlight doesn’t affect it. A 1-octave mini-keyboard allows transposing on the fly or setting the scale.

The CV input enables TON to be used as a one channel quantiser or arpeggiator.
All settings of the current pattern are simply saved together in a patch - there are 5 banks with 7 patches available. The patches can also be selected via CV or MIDI program change and can be saved and reloaded on the fly.

Patterns can be manipulated during and after the import with eg: gate length, velocity, random, last step, hold, mute, glide, scale and transposition. Both tracks can have different settings - however, with track-link parameters can also be applied to both tracks at the same time. This comes in handy for transpositions or duophonic playing.
