Tre Modular – Steps is an analog 8-step clock sequencer and processor that transforms incoming clock signal into a series of unique rhythmic patterns.
With features like step selection and burst mode multiplication, Steps offers flexibility for controlling modular synthesizers, creating complex rhythmic patterns, and even processing audio signals for unique sounds.
Here is a jam showing off this module.
Steps main functionality is a clock sequencer. It takes a clock signal and separates it into eight steps. Each step consists of one cycle where the clock goes high and then low. Each cycle can be selectively turned on or off.
Steps also has Burst mode that can be turned on or off for each step. Burst mode generates multiple trigger signals in rapid succession. Multiplication goes up to eight times.
If you want to introduce some randomness in your patch you can feed it an irregular clock signal or actively use the “Burst multiplier” slide switch and it will introduce a degree of unpredictability to your rhythms.
Since Steps works in audio range it can also be used as a sound processor.
And here is a demo video with another Jam at the end.
