Noise Engineering Mimetic Digitalis Eurorack 4 Channel Control Voltage Sequencer Module

Noise Engineering Mimetic Digitalis - CV Sequencer

The Noise Engineering Mimetic Digitalis is a 10hp step sequencer optimised for live use. Mimetic Digitalis includes four individually editable CV outputs and a trigger out. Each step can be manually programmed or use Mimetic Digitalis to live record CV sequences using the encoder. The zero button mutes the CV at a step and shred randomises the voltage. Save and load up to 16 patterns. Edit a pattern and use undo to return to the unedited version.

Interface

•           Step Display - The 4x4 grid shows the step display

•           Outputs - T: Outputs a trigger each time Mimetic Digitalis advances a step. 1-4: Four selectable, individually editable CV outputs

•           Trigger Inputs - Mimetic Digitalis has a variety of trigger inputs to allow control over the Cartesian coordinates of the steps. Use as many inputs as you like or simply use the manual trigger buttons below

•           N - Advances Mimetic Digitalis to the next step in the full 16-step progression

•           X - Advances Mimetic Digitalis to the next step in the current row, but will only move horizontally

•           Y - Advances Mimetic Digitalis to the next step in the current column, but will only move vertically

•           R - Advances Mimetic Digitalis to a random step

•           O - Advances Mimetic Digitalis to the origin (step 1)

•           CV In - Three inputs allow CV control over the step position. CV N will vary across the entire 16-step range. CV  will only vary within a given row, while CV Y will control across a column

•           Stop / Run - In Stop mode, Mimetic Digitalis will pause on a step so that each step can be tuned to the desired tone or value. Use the encoder (Edit) to set the value. Use the Step Selectors (see below) to advance steps to continue programming. Mimetic Digitalis will continue to track the clock input; when Run mode is resumed, it will continue in the appropriate place. In Run mode, Mimetic Digitalis advances a step each time it receives a trigger. Mimetic Digitalis live records edits made to values while in Run mode

•           Edit - An encoder to set CV values for the selected channel(s). The default is fine. Push and turn for coarse values. The encoder is detented so that each step is a semitone. For live editing, simply select the channel(s) you want to edit and push and turn. All changes are recorded on the fly

•           Channel Selectors 1-4 - Toggle buttons to select or deselect the channel to be edited. Double tapping a button will deselect all other channels (channel solo). If no channel is selected, turning the encoder will not affect any outputs

•           Undo - Reverts all changes made with the encoder to the last pattern that was loaded (this is the same as loading the most recently loaded pattern)

•           Step Selectors Next, X, Y, Rand, Origin - Manual buttons to advance Mimetic Digitalis in specific directions. Buttons work in both Run and Stop mode. If no trigger input is used, use buttons to advance steps manually

•           Load / Save - Mimetic Digitalis can store up to 16 sets of CVs (all 4 outputs are stored together). The 16 save slots correspond to the steps on the Step Display. To load or save, hold the button down and use the encoder to dial to the slot you want to load from or save to. Tao the encoder to select which slot and save. After power cycle, Mimetic Digitalis will load the last saved state

•           Zero - Zeros the value for the current step. Hold down to zero multiple steps

•           Shred - Press to assign a random value to a step. Hold down to shred multiple stages

Noise Engineering have also added a few quick, stealthy combo moves for things they think you'll use a lot. Things they use a lot...

Combo Moves

•           Load + Shred - Instant shred of all 16 steps

•           Load + Zero - Instant zero of all 16 steps

•           Zero + Shred - Pitch Shred. Shred current step but restrict the voltages to one octave

•           Load + Zero + Shred - Pitch shred entire pattern

In addition, the first 8 patterns can be quick saved / loaded through combo moves. These are mapped to the buttons on Mimetic Digitalis

•           Save / Load + 1 - Fast save / load pattern 1

•           Save / Load + 2 - Fast save / load pattern 2

•           Save / Load + 3 - Fast save / load pattern 3

•           Save / Load + 4 - Fast save / load pattern 4

•           Save / Load + Next - Save / load pattern 5

•           Save / Load + X - Fast save / load pattern 6

•           Save / Load + Y - Fast save / load pattern 7

•           Save / Load + Rand - Fast save / load pattern 8
