NANO - QUART

The NANO Modules QUART is a four channel Attack-Decay envelope generator and LFO.

With four trigger inputs and corresponding output sockets, combined with the individual controls for attack and decay, the QUART is a thoroughly well-organized module. The time range switches and signal strength indicator LEDs also live up to this claim.

QUART has two modes of operation that are also very easy to understand and to select: If there is a cable plugged into the trigger input of a channel, it will function as an AD-envelope. If you unplug the cable, it will oscillate as an LFO. That’s it.

The exponential AD-envelope is great for percussive sounds, but with the three time-ranges, QUART can also be used for all kinds of other sounds. The RISE and FALL knob set the times for the Attack and Decay period of the envelope. When in LFO mode, these knobs define the shape of the LFO signal.

• Time Ranges:
  • RISE: Fast 0.1 ms. - 400 ms. // Medium 2 ms. - 4 s. // Slow 10 ms. - 40 s.
  • FALL: Fast 0.1 ms. - 600 ms. // Medium 2 ms. - 10 s. // Slow 10 ms. - 50 s.
• Output signal:
  • Envelope Mode: unipolar 0-9V
  • LFO Mode: unipolar 1-9V
