KLANG is a four voice polyphonic controller.It stores, traverses and manipulates chord progressions. «Klang» is a unique take on polyphonic control within Eurorack.Displaying chords in a circular clock-like display, and giving the user immediate control over every aspect without “menu diving„ makes for an easy to use and inspiring module. The module can store up to 99 chords, where each chord is made up of 4 voices.Each voice is represented by a colored indicator on the clock-face which in turn is controlled by an encoder.The indicators points to notes on the chromatic scale drawn in 360° around the clock-face. With step, step count and reset functionality «Klang» can be used as a regular 4 channel sequencer to sequence any CV controlled gear. It is designed to be flexible even though the original intent was for polyphonic control. Interface The big grey encoder in the middle of the module lets you browse the chords – the active chord and total chord count is shown just above the encoder on the display. The + button lets you add a new chord. The new chord is added after the currently active chord, and the new chord is then set as the active chord. The - button removes the current chord. Each colored encoder sets the CV of a voice. In normal use every voice is quantized to the chromatic scale – As it is made for being musical in the conventional sense. Holding down an encoder whilst turning will let you go between semitones and play with cents. This opens up microtonality and the ability to fine tune CV for other uses. Inputs The module has 4 inputs – 1 trigger input, 1 reset input and 2 bipolar CV inputs. Trigger input The trigger input triggers a chord change.If the direction input is unconnected, a single trigger results in a single step in the forwards direction. Reset input The reset input triggers a reset back to chord index 1. Direction input (+-5V) The direction input normalizes to a single step in the forwards direction.You can feed this input a bipolar CV (+-5V).Direction maps the total chord count to 5V. This means that +5V results in a single trigger progressing +n steps, where n is the total chord count. A negative voltage will do exactly the same but resulting in backwards stepping. 0V equals no movement. Transpose input (+-5V) This bipolar CV lets you transpose the current chord up or down.It is intended to be used with an analoge voltage source like the Pressure Points from Make Noise, or any other analoge sequencer. Outputs Each voice has a separate color coded 1V/oct CV output ranging from -5 to 5V. Specifications Width 14HP (70.8 mm) Depth 20 mm (1) Power consumption +12 V: ~23 mA (2)-12 V:
