Verbos Electronics Voltage Multistage 16

Eurorack sequencer - 16 voltage control stages

• Analog sequencer with 16 voltage control stages
• Versatile operation: sequencer, LFO, multistage envelope
• Independent trigger inputs for each stage
• Gate generation and "ref" signals in analog addressing mode
• Compact 42HP construction, also ideal for standalone setups

Verbos Voltage Multistage 16: advanced analog sequencer for Eurorack

Designed as an open-structure voltage control generator, the Verbos Voltage Multistage 16 is an evolution of the celebrated Voltage Multistage of 2014. In addition to offering 16 stages, this module includes trigger inputs on each step, advanced slide, gate and analog addressing capabilities, while retaining all the distinctive features of the original.

Advanced functions for creative voltage control

The clock is voltage controllable, allowing the module to be used as:

• Sequencer up to 16 steps with configurable start and end points
• Voltage-controlled free-form LFO
• Multistage envelope with customizable sustain phase
• Voltage quantizer and clock divider

New transistor sequencer core

Compared with the original version, Voltage Multistage 16 adopts a core based on discrete transistor stages instead of CMOS counters. This allows external gate inputs to be activated for each stage, creating multiple loops, step jumps and complex dynamic sequences.

Improved analog addressing

When the strobe is active and a variable analog signal controls the address, a gate is generated for each new step selected. This opens the way for unquantized, non-grid-bound note generations, ideal for experimental performances.

Construction details and usability

With its 42HP and slim design, the module fits even in compact cases such as the Black Box. Outputs are now equipped with LEDs, improving signal visibility in live or studio environments. All the functions of the original are still present and enhanced, providing maximum flexibility in patching and interaction between gate out, sustain, strobe, and stage switches.
