Thought Box Synthesizer System

Thought Box has 2 spaces of blanks. Here are just a few optional modules that could go there.

Q175 Arpeggiator/Portamento

The Q175 is an Aid module for the Q174 MIDI interface. It adds an arpeggiator and portamento (Glide). This would be very helpful if you plan on using Thought Box with a keyboard controller. See the Q175 web page.

Q167 LFO++ Oscillator

Thought Box contains two Q167 LFO++ modules and adding a third can thicken sounds and greatly add to modulation capabilities. Each Q167 is a combination LFO, Audio Oscillator, envelope generator, and VCO all in one. See the Q167 web page.

Q962 Sequential Switch

The Q962 can route one signal to three different places, or three signals to one place. This can provide automated routing of filter outputs or any other audio or control voltage signal. The Q962 can be shifted like a sequencer and used to create patterns of gates too. See the Q962 web page.

Q117 Sample & Hold

The Q117 Sample & Hold module can create some interesting patterns while tracking an oscillator. And it has its own internal clock which can be used as a pulse generator to trigger envelopes or oscillators. See the Q117 web page.

Q181RC Ribbon Controller

The Q181RC provides a voltage according to where you press on the ribbon. It's very fun to use along with sequences or for pitch-bending or controlling clock speeds or sweeping filters. See the Q181rc web page.
