instruction

MIN/MAJ is a gate input which inverts the Minor/Major 
setting of the quantizer.

TRIG A S. is a CV input to set how many steps are advanced 
by triggering the TRIG A input. When the TRIG A knob is set 
fully CCW, 0 volts corresponds to -4 and 5 volts correspond 
to +4.

GATE T. CV input adds to the gate time. 

SLIDE T. CV input adds to the slide time.

CV on the OFFSET input immediately adds a certain offset 
to the ACTIVE step position. The offset is 0 to 7 steps 
corresponding to 0 to 5 volts.

Alternaive CV In Mode: 
The Bit Offset

There are two modes for the CV Expander: the normal 
(described above) and the alternative. The alternative 
mode can be activated in the boot menu. In the 
alternative mode the connectors B,C and D are used 
as offset bits. This means that you can to set the 
binary address of the cursor offset by sending gates 
to the inputs. This can be extremely useful when used 
with a gate sequencer because you can directly select 
which step is activated with the combination of the 3 
gate inputs. High gate on connector B will offset the 
address by one step (least significant bit), high gate on 
connector C will offset the address by two steps and 
high gate on the D connector will offset the address by 
four steps (most significant bit). Here are all 8 possible 
combinations of these gates and how they corresponds 
to the 8 steps.

POPCORN CV INPUTS EX.

Adds more CV inputs for enhanced control of the nonline-
ar browsing through the steps. All inputs on the expander 
react only to positive voltages 0-5V.
