Bastl Instruments - 1983 (Alu)

The 1983 is a polyphonic MIDI to CV interface with creative voice allocation and automatic tuning capabilities. It offers four channels of CV and Gate outputs that can be set to various configurations. Each channel is able to listen to simple waveforms from the oscillators, and to map the response of each connected oscillator across all seven octaves, by pressing the Tune button. Additionally the module features transpose and portamento inputs. The Quantizer mode allows the 1983 to be used wihtout MIDI input, as a traditionnal four channel quantizer.

Features:

• Four channels of CV and GATE
• Listen input per channel for automatic tuning
• automatic tuning by a single press of a button (offset & scaling correction)
• several tuning systems (equal temperament, just intonation, A = 440/432 Hz etc.)
• Layout selection (4 voice, 3+1 voice, 2 velocity voice, 4×1 voice, 1 voice, 8 gates, 8 CCs, 4 triggers + velocity, quantizer)
• each layout can map outputs of Channel D to MIDI Clock (adjustable divider) and Reset
• Learn mode to assign MIDI channel and other properties
• Update jack to quantize outputs to clock or trigger sequences
• Window jack to creatively allocate notes in the buffer to available voices
• Transpose CV to shift outputs by semitones, fifths or octaves
• Portamento CV to adjust glide time
• responds to MIDI Note On & Off, CC (also Sustain), Velocity, Pitch Bend, Clock, Aftertouch
• µTune scale editing per each semitone in octave
