The example below shows the principle for creating a simple arpeggiator. LFO A is set to generate a tri-
angle wave, since this signal has linear, symmetrical ramps. This guarantees even change of control values
over time. We have pressed four Note buttons and selected a Range of +/-32 semitones on the KeyQuant
module. The output signal from the KeyQuant module is routed to the unattenuated Pitch input of the
Osc A module to ensure correct semitone intervals.
We have selected Capture ‘Evenly’ to make the notes be output at a steady rate when controlled from the
Triangle wave LFO.

The Partial Quantizer module generates a
control signal which will transpose an Os-
cillator to one of its harmonic partials.
The range of the partial generator is 0 to
+/- 64 partials in steps of 0.5 partials. Note that the practical limit of Nord Modular G2 is +/- 32 partials.
If the range is set above +/- 32 partials, the oscillator will remain on its 32nd partial until the control signal
amplitude has decreased below +/- 32 partials.

Displays the control signal range set with the attenuator knob. For the display to show the correct range,
it is assumed that the input signal uses its whole dynamic range (+/- 64 units). Values exceeding +/- 32
partials are shown with an asterisk, indicating that the practical output limit is exceeded.

This module works like a control signal
attenuator. You set the output peak-to-
peak limits in semitones. This could be
useful if you want to “tune" the output
from a controller. The Note Scaler works with either uni- or bipolar signals.
