WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH VARIGATE 8+
MALEKKOHEAVYINDUSTRY.COM
The Voltage Block was designed to work exceptionally well along with the Malekko Varigate 8+. The following features are
prevalent when the Voltage Block is connected to the same bus as the Varigate 8+ and in “SLAVE” mode (where the master clock
is now the Varigate 8+).
Saving presets: While working on a given sequence on the Voltage Block, simply save the Varigate 8 preset and your Voltage
Block channel/preset will also save to that location. Voltage Block divisions and lengths are also saved in this fashion.
Recalling presets: same as above
Banks: Varigate 8+ includes 10 banks, each containing 10 presets therefor you can save up to 100 Voltage Block presets as well.
Song Mode: Saved Voltage Block presets are tied together along with Song Mode on Varigate 8+
Freeze and Random inputs: When these modes are active on the Varigate 8+, Varigate 8 will in turn send corresponding messag-
es to the Voltage Block. For instance if you have gates patched into the Random and Freeze inputs on Varigate 8+, those
Random and Freeze messages will carry over to Voltage Block.
A reset message is also sent from the Varigate 8+ to Voltage Block to lock timing.
