Q118 Instrument Interface

The Q118 module provides an interface for external input sources such as a guitar, microphone, etc. This envelope can be used to control filters, oscillators, and other modules. The incoming signal can be amplified up to 1000 times. An envelope output is created that will track the amplitude of the incoming signal. A gate signal is created based on a manual threshold control which can be used to trigger envelope generators or sequencers. An LED indicates gate signal output to aid threshold adjustment. A short trigger pulse is also provided. An output jack provides access to the amplified original signal for use by other modules. The Q118 does not produce Pitch control voltages tracking the input.
