Klavis Quadigy is a 4channel envelope generator, but in reality it’s so much more. It can be a clock, clockdivider, create LFOs and all of these can be modulated under CV control. With so much power it can be an intimidating module to get to grips with, so in this video I break down how Quadigy works, and give patch examples and recipes for many different ways you can use it in your patches.

Quadigy is available from all good modular store. If you'd like to buy any Klavis modules consider using these affiliate links to help support the channel:

At its heart Klavis Quadigy is a classic 4channel envelope generator. Each envelope can have up to 7 segments defined, with curveshaping and Hold/Punch on the stages as well. But the real power of Quadigy comes in when you combine different modes for the envelopes; looping, clocked or individual. This turns the module in a flexible function generator that can do everything from clocking other modules, to dividing down an external clock, to making slow moving LFOs to add movement to your patches all under CV control.
