DESCRIPTION
W
ith Cascade’s onboard Analog VCA, shaping your sound is
as quick as sending your sound through Cascade via the
VCA In and Out, and a Gate into the Trigger Input. Below is an
example patch using Ratcheting AD Mode to achieve a simple
staccato sequence.
*
note: similar results are achievable with alternate modules alongside Cascade.
C
ascade is a ratcheting envelope generator, VCA, and sound source all within a
compact form factor. The unique interactions of its feature set open up new worlds of
rhythmic patching and modulation. Easily create ratcheting sequences, bouncy-ball modu-
lation, and pumping compression, all within a single module.
At its core is a powerful envelope generator, which is normaled to a high fidelity 2164
based VCA. You can patch in external audio to the VCA, or take advantage of 4 internal
audio algorithms: white noise, 808 drums, and sine tones. Cascade will open up your
system in ways that make you wonder how you ever lived without it.

o install, locate 10HP of space in your Eurorack case and confirm the positive 12 volts
and negative 12 volts sides of the power distribution lines. Plug the connector into the
power distribution board of your case, keeping in mind that the red band corresponds to
negative 12 volts. In most systems, the negative 12 volt supply line is at the bottom. The
power cable should be connected to the module with the red band facing the bottom of
the module
