New evolution of the Voltage Multistage, one of the first Verbos Modules.
The original Voltage Multistage has an analog sequencer core with several unique features that allow it to function as a sequencer with switchable slides on each step, multistage envelope of any length with sustain on any stage, any shape of LFO, voltage quantizer, and more.
You can find the page to the original Multistage here.
The Voltage Multistage 16 is no longer based on a CMOS counter core, but is built around discrete transistor stages, which enables gate inputs on each stage. This allows external gates to jump it to any stage, multiple loops and sequences that start at one stage and then enter into a loop later.
The new sequencer core also knows when it has changed to a new stage.
Therefore, when strobe is latched and a varying analog signal is changing the address, a gate output (as well as ref. ramp and slide on c.v. row a) is sent out each time a new stage is selected, rather than the gate staying high all the time as before. Now, the c.v. row a switch positions are active when strobe is latched. This allows fluctuating random voltages to generate streams of notes completely free from the grid.
LEDs have been added to all outputs. All functions from the original VMS remain available. Patching stage gate outs into enable, sustain and strobe allows complex interactions at the same time as using stage selections for unprecedented variability in an analog sequencer.
The Voltage Multistage 16 is 42HP wide and very thin, fitting in a Black Box. This allows it to be used as a powerful stand-alone performance sequencer.
