Description

Learn how to use JW Modules' Simple Clock Module

JW Modules' Simple Clock is exactly that, a simple clock. It provides us with typical metronome functions as well as a means trigger a device on fractions of the set tempo. Simple clock also has a reset and a means to sent random resets.

You will learn how to use JW Modules' Quantizer Module

JW Modules' Quantizer module is very useful. I use it a lot and I am sure you will find uses for it as well. Quantizer allows us to take signal for a modual, such as a step sequencer and turn it into an exact pitch which we then input into the V/OCT input on a VCO.

Quantizer gives us a variety of scales and modes to choose from and also lets us choose a tonal center or key.

You will learn how to use JW Modules' WavHead Module

JW Modules create a number of modules that are great fun. The WavHead module is a visual piece that is meant to make us laugh as we make our music.

WavHead has a simple input which can take signal from pretty much anything in Rack. Plug in an input and see what it does!
