QUANT

Snaps any CV to a scale. NOISE → S&H → QUANT → VCO is a random melody that is always in key. By default it follows the RACK's scale — the one set with t — but its own scale knob can pin it to a different one, so a patch can hold two tonalities at once: a drone in Just intonation under a lead that stays wherever the rack is tuned.

The QUANT card as vimsynth draws it: its title bar, 2 knobs, 2 inputs down the left edge and 1 outputs down the right
QUANT on an empty rack — 32×12 cells, knobs at their defaults. Press a in the app and pick QUANT to get this card.

inputs

transpcv
Transposes, in scale degrees.

outputs

Down the right edge, in the same order.

v/octpitch
The input, snapped to the nearest degree of the rack's scale.

knobs

Left to right across the face — the dials in the picture.

transp-24 … 24= 0

Which scale to snap to. rack (the default) follows whatever the rack is tuned to with t — retuning the rack moves this too. Pick a named scale instead and this QUANT ignores the rack entirely and stays in it, however the rack is tuned.
