QUAID MEGASLOPE

The ‘Quaid Megaslope’ is a ﬁve stage function generator or modulator which operates in one of 3 modes; a multistage ‘CZ’ or ‘Juno’ style complex envelope, a super

ﬂexible LFO and a step sequencer with per step programmable slew or slides. Each mode produces a varying output voltage moving from point to point across

a set number of chained together stages. Each stage features a destination level, an overall rate or time to reach its destination level and a variable slope for

the output path to take. As well as direct control, every stage features voltage control of both level and rate. There are both unipolar and bipolar voltage outputs

together with triggers emitted for the end of each stage and the end of a full cycle.

The Quaid Megaslope is designed to be fun, ﬂexible and intuative to use.

TIME CONTROLS

Sets the time that the stage will take to

reach the set destination level. Control

goes clockwise from approx 1-2ms to

100ms at 12 o’clock, to 3sec at 9 o’clock to

approx 3 minutes at 5 o’clock.

SLOPE CONTROLS

Varys the slope type from log to lin to exp.

LEVEL CONTROLS

Level control sets the ﬁnal output voltage

for a stage.

‘SET’ SUSTAIN/LOOP BUTTON

Sets the stage for sustain in envelope

mode or the loop point in step and loop

mode. The selected stage is indicated by

the row of green LEDs above.

In Env mode, holding this button for 1

second will add prior stages to a ‘looping’

sustain mode.

MODE BUTTON

Switches the current operating mode of the

Megaslope from Envelope to Looping (LFO)

to Step sequencer mode.

CONTROL VOLTAGE INPUTS

Per stage voltage control of level and time.

Expects 0-5V. Values set by controls are

added to this input value.

TRIGGER INPUTS

Dependent on mode these two inputs

perform the following:

Env : ‘Trig’ triggers a single cycle of all 5

stages. Gate will also trigger but will sus-

tain (i.e hold) the envelope at the selected

stage level whilst the gate is high before

completing full 5 stages. If the gate goes

low before the sustain stage the envelope

will end immediately. A retriggered envelope

(that hasn’t ﬁnished a full cycle) will start

from its current level as to avoid clicks.

Loop : Both trig and gate inputs reset the

cycle to the beginning of the ﬁrst stage. This

mode automatically cycles.

Step : ‘Trig’ input steps the sequencer to the

next stage. Gate becomes a reset restarting

the sequence from the ﬁrst stage.

OPERATION MODE OVERVIEW

There are 3 functioning modes;

‘Env’elope : In response to a trigger or gate

the megaslope will output a classic 5 stage

envelope with the set rate, slope and end

level for each stage,

Loop : The Megaslope will automatically

cycle across the number of set stages

moving between levels at the requested

rate. The ﬁnal stage will move to the set

level of the initial one.

Step : In response to a trigger signal the

Megaslope will step to the next stage level

(cycling back to the intial stage when the

set number of stages is reached). With time

set greater than zero (ie not full CCW) the

level will not change instantly allowing for

variable slew like or ‘slide’ effects.

OUTPUTS

+/-Out outputs an approx -5v to 5v bipolar

signal. When not active this will sit at

approx -5v

+Out Main unipolar output between approx

0-8v

EOS - ‘End of stage’ outputs a trigger when

a stage is completed.

EOC - ‘End of cycle’ outs a trigger when a full

cycle is completed

Module Installation

With your modular synth powered off

connect the 10 pin end of the supplied

standard eurorack power connector cable

to the 10 pin power connector on the rear

of the module.

The red stripe on the cable should be

orientated to match the text ‘RED’ marked

on the rear of the module near the power

connector (this is -12V). Connect the other

16 pin end of the cable to your eurorack bus

board (Refer to your bus board documenta-

tion for the correct orientation).

You are now safe to power up your modular

synth. If the module fails to power up check

you have the power cable correctly orien-

tated and have carefully read this manual.

All ALM modules feature reverse power

protection.

Firmware Upgrades

The Quaid Megaslope ﬁrmware is user

updateable via the usb connector on the

side of the module.

Please visit busycircuits.com/alm020 for

the latest ﬁrmware and details on how to

perform the upgrade .

TIPS AND TRICKS

Watch out for clicky envelopes. Stages can

be very quick, alway make sure the ﬁnal

stage has a bit of a slope as to avoid clicks.

Use with Pamelas New Workout ﬂexible

triggering patterns to cleverly use the 5

stages across 16 steps in sequencer mode.

For example a 16 step euclidean pattern

with 5 triggers or patch a /4 output into the

gate reset. Use a different pattern for the

step vs the vca envelope trigger.

Use an initial stage with level of 0 and set

time for delayed envelopes.
