Quad Multimode Modulator

The QUAID GIGASLOPE is a four-channel multi-mode modulator, with each channel outputting a variable staged slope that can act as a complex envelope, flexible LFO, or step sequence.

Each slope can contain up to 13 stages, which may be independent or overlap with other stages. Slopes can be triggered or run freely, with both manual and CV control over each stage’s level, duration, and curve. The output range of each slope can be set and optionally quantised to musical scales. Trigger outputs are available at the end of each stage and at the completion of a slope.

The QUAID GIGASLOPE builds on our earlier Megaslope module, expanding the idea of a hands-on, menu-free, jam-friendly complex modulator. With four channels, it easily covers standard envelope duties, quantised sequencing, and LFO tasks, while its design also encourages more experimental use through overlapping slopes, self-modulation and cross-channel interaction, leading to more distinctive, unexpected, and improvised results.

• Quad multimode modulator with complex Envelope, LFO and Step Sequencer modes.
• 13 modulation stages shared or split between slopes.
• Per stage dedicated Level, Time and Curve controls.
• Per slope Quantiser with 19 different scales.
• Selectable output ranges of ±5V, 0-5V or 0-2.5V.
• Assignable ‘EOC’ (End of Cycle) or ‘EOS’ (End of Stage) trigger outputs.
