Larix-Elektro Intros Time, A Trig 2 Gate Eurorack Module

 

 

Larix-Elektro has introduced Time, a new trig-to-gate converter module for Eurorack systems.

The Time module is a sort of ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of Time management for GATE signals, including:

  • Trigger to Gate converter
  • Clock generator
  • Trigger delay
  • Ramp generator
  • Connector for the Shift-R module, to add Clock Division option.

Features:

  • Input
  • Gate Output
  • Start Output (trigger at the start, useful to retrig an envelope)
  • End Output (trigger at the end of the gate, useful to use the module as a trig delay, or to launch “Something” at the end of the gate)
  • CV Input for the duration of the gate.
  • RST Input, to for the gate to zero.
  • Push buttons for the input and the RST
  • Loop mode: use the module as a clock generator.
  • 0 to 8V ramp, Following the duration of the gate.
  • Optional connector to add the RITOURNELLE Shift-R: adding 8 gate outputs, works like clock divider.
