Tre Modular State of Mind Four-Channel CV Workstation

Four-channel CV/Gate workstation

State of Mind is four-channel CV workstation. Four CV outputs, four gate outputs, and a set of engines that move them. Any channel can run any engine, and different channels can run different engines at the same time.

SEQ (Sequencer) Steps through eight saved snapshots, each holding all four channel voltages, in any order. Jump, glide or morph between them in eight shapes, from one step every twenty seconds to twenty a second, with swing and four play directions. Each channel has its own clock division, shape, swing, gate pattern and gate length. Scenes save the whole setup; switch them at the end of the loop or chain them into a sequence of sequences.

RSG (Random State Generator) A melody generator that ranges from true random voltages, quantized or raw, to structured melodies that play like songs. Four voices, each with its own range, rhythm and melodic figure, playing together in chords, parallel fifths and octaves, held tones, answering lines, or each on its own.

GEST (Gesture and CV recording) Records knob movements, and any CV and gate you patch in, as real voltage: 1,000 samples a second, up to 48 seconds per take, negative voltages included. Each channel loops its own recording. Layer them, save the four-channel arrangement to one of eight slots, recall it or chain slots into a sequence.

EXT (External control) Lets an external CV, clock or keyboard play State of Mind, in seven ways. Each trigger can step through your snapshots in order, at random, or forwards and backwards with a CV; a voltage can jump straight to a snapshot or sweep smoothly through them all. The channels can also follow an incoming CV directly, or harmonize it. The clock input reads 1, 2, 4 or 24 pulses per step and drives the sequencer and RSG as well.

QTZ (Quantizer) State of Mind can turn any channel into notes of a scale. Eight scales and twelve roots, with each channel free to have its own. It works on whatever drives the channel, from snapshots and the sequencer to an incoming CV.

VCO tuningState of Mind can tune an oscillator to itself. Patch a channel into the oscillator's 1 V/oct input and the oscillators output back into CV IN, and the module measures it note by note across eight octaves in about two minutes. Because every note is measured, it corrects tracking errors as well as offset, so differently mistuned oscillators play in tune with each other.
