Voltage Multistage 16

Verbos Voltage Multistage 16

16 stage Voltage Multistage
Conceived as a open concept control voltage generator, Voltage Multistage 16 is an analog sequencer with switchable slides and gates. The clock is voltage controlled with features allowing the module to be used as a sequencer up to 16 stages starting and ending anywhere, any shape of voltage controlled LFO, a multi stage envelope up to 16 stages with any as the sustain phase, a voltage quantizer, clock divider and more. An evolution of the original Voltage Multistage, it not only has 16 stages but now has trigger inputs on all stages and generates gate and “ref” signals while in analog address mode.

The new one has gate ins on all the stages and in the analog address mode, it triggers the ramp every time you change stages, so it can do Subotnick type things while totally off the grid.

In theory, a sophisticated enough control voltage source can replace all of the control voltage sources in a modular system. That includes saw, square, pulse, triangle LFOs, AR, AD, ADSR, multistage envelopes, tracking generators, quantizers and of course sequencers.

It is not practical to actually replace all of these with one module type, but the Verbos Electronics Voltage Multistage 2 can create any of these control signals.

As a sequencer, it has switchable slides and gates on each stage. Gate are output musically to match slides and stepped stages. As a multistage envelope, any stage can be the sustain. Stage "TIME" can be voltage controlled.

The "ref." output is a falling ramp the length of the entire stage. This is usable as a decay envelope the length of the stage.

When the "strobe" input is pulsed, the setting of the "analog" control and CV input selects the stage. This is usable as a reset or to jump to any specific stage of the sequencer.
