Argos Bleak Quantizer

Industrial Music Electronics Argos Bleak

Argos Bleak, from Industrial Music Electronics (fka The Harvestman), is is a benevolent master control module. Essentially, it is an oscillator controller and quantizer designed to provide precise voltage for up to four separate oscillators. Consequently, it is intended to serve as the main brain for quantization and tuning, providing coarse and fine tuning for up to four VCOs. In addition to each of its four outputs sporting a dedicated vibrato LFO, Argos Bleak can save many settings that can be implemented in different configurations, as well as store offsets on certain oscillators in order to provide chordal "presets". These presets can be clocked through giving "chord changes".

Argos Bleak Features

• Scale quantization selection (similar to Stillson Hammer mkII, free selection of scale root and mode)
• Vibrato Generator (internally routed to all 4 channels using the mixer knobs) with frequency and amount control
• Gate control inputs: Quantizer trig, slew enable, input selection swap Chord preset storage (16 slots, stores semitone offset of each channel and other programmable settings)
• Chord selection CV input
• Quantizer trigger output
