Installation
To install, locate 2 HP of space in your Eurorack case and confirm the positive 12 volts
and negative 12 volts sides of the power distribution lines. Plug the connector into
the power distribution board of your case, keeping in mind that the red band corresponds to negative 12 volts. In most systems, the negative 12 volt supply line is at
the bottom. The power cable should be connected to the module with the red band
facing the front of the module.
Specications
• Size: 2 HP
• Depth 42mm

Functional Overview
1. Trig Input
A trigger or gate signal present at this input will advance the arpeggio to the next
note
2. Reset Input
A trigger or gate signal present at this input will reset the arpeggio to its root note
3. Root
Sets the initial voltage offset of the output
This can be thought of as the chord’s root note
3a. Root CV
CV input for Root control
Range: 0V to +5V
Control voltage is added to the knob position
3b. Root Knob
When fully left the root will be 0V
When fully right the root will be 5V

4. Chord
Defines the relationship between the root note and the other notes in the chord
4a. Chord CV
CV input for Chord control
Range: 0V to +5V
Control voltage is added to the knob position
4b. Chord LEDs
Displays the selected chord type
