{"product_id":"gieskes-4swing1b","title":"Gieskes - 4Swing1b","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA module that has multiple functions, VCO\/VCLFO (1v octave), sequencer, clock divider, swing..\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 4Swing refers to \"for swing\" and it has 4 steps. The module can do quite a bit of different things. It can be a clock divider, VCO, VCLFO, sequencer with swing or without.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI developed it because it wanted a DIY version of the Doepfer A-147, a module I use allot. But then in combination with a simple sequencer\/clock divider, basically a setup i use almost always but then in one module, a bit like this module i used to use allot. The Motor Bin module uses a binary clock divider, but the 4Swing uses a 4017 (decade counter\/step sequencer), so it's a bit different. The reason for this is that i wanted swing (i used to use Groove allot in LSDj, i think it would be great to have more swing in my eurorack) and you cannot have swing with a binary clock divider.. i think.\u003cbr\u003eFeatures were added based on things I found on youtube, and other sources. For instance the Swing was partially inspired by a video by Collin Benders.\u003cbr\u003eThe individual outputs of 4017 step sequencer was inspired by DAS DING baby 8.\u003cbr\u003eThe AND GATE + 4017 trick i got from Peter Edwards sequencer.\u003cbr\u003eThe 1v per octave tracking VCO was smth I learned from Moritz Kleins video about it in combination with a VCO I found by Kassu on electro-music forums.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e4Swing1a: Gate reset input is reset.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(This is the most standart version, how i originaly designed it)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e4Swing1b:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwo different modes that can be set with the BLACK Rate button.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh frequency mode: Gate reset input is reset.\u003cbr\u003eLow frequency mode: Gate reset input is ignored, instead it will hold the sequencer for the duration of the gate signal.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(i added this feature because i never use reset in low frequency and the hold feature is verry nice).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003e4Swing1c:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSame as 4Swing1a but with expander module.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Extra main clock outputs, if which one has a attenuation potmeter.\u003cbr\u003e1 Gate hold input for the sequencer steps.\u003cbr\u003e1 LPG.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e4Swing module width: 5cm (10hp), power consumption: +18mA -5mA.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4Swing expander width: 2cm (4hp), power consumption: +2mA -0mA.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDepths of module and expander about 2.5cm with power cable connected.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClock input:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eReplaces the internal VCO as clock source for the sequencer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe VCO will still function at the same time, but will be just disconnected from advancing the sequencer.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClock output:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eActive steps of the sequencer, voltage level can be set with a 2mm flat head screw driver, the output signal is + voltage and - voltage, between about 0v and the 22v peak to peak.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt focuses more on the positive voltage then the negative.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCV output:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe voltage at the current step of the sequencer, 0 to +10v.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCV input:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-12v to +12v, Controls VCO that drives the sequencer, if tuned can track 1v octave over around 5 octaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere is a tune multiturn trimmer potmeter to tune the 1v per octave tracking, it is located left under the reset input.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReset:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eResets the sequencer and the VCO.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(see Versions for the difference per versions).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1,2,3,4:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIndividual gate outputs of the step sequencer, 0 to +10v.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStart:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStart or stop the VCO.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHold the sequencer or make it step forward.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3\/4\/2:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSequencer length.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVCLFO or VCO.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eLow frequency rate or Audio rate.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gieskes.nl\/eurorack\/?file=4swing\" target=\"blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/gieskes.nl\/eurorack\/?file=4swing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gieskes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54725903450453,"sku":null,"price":84.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1071\/1872\/3413\/files\/4swing1b.jpg?v=1787442105","url":"https:\/\/climivor.myshopify.com\/products\/gieskes-4swing1b","provider":"CLIMIVOR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
