Hi Nick. The component symbols up at the top left are: - triangle with line: diode. This is directional. You can probably use it to turn an AC signal into a straight pulse, but no idea what's implemented in there. - two plates: capacitors. These are not directional (based on the symbol used). Again, not sure how it's implemented, but it will likely add a slew or maybe decay. The amount/rate would depend upon the value of the cap used. This sounds a whole lot better than I had thought it would.

Great review, thanks. It's such an inspirational and fun box of tricks. For reference, you can quantise the CV loops to 16ths, but it's a separate mode of operation for the looper operation that stops all of the loops playing while it's doing its business. "If press-holding BANK+L+M and pressing ADD or DEL on one of the channels will perform quantisation of this channels by 16”."

There is a quantization function - a bit esoteric but it’s in the manual. I’ve mostly sequenced mine from MIDI and used the pins for modulation, but I need to give the CV looper another crack. “BANK + L + M + one of the sensors (ADD or DEL) of the desired LR channel - will quantize the content of the channel to 16 notes. The LR will stop when this operation is performed. To start it again, use the start function. For the quantize function to work cor-rectly, please make sure that the LR is aligned with the clock dividers!! To do this, press the RST button on the CLOCK module before recording, and\or connect the LRST pin to the 0.25 output of the clock divider, and use a metronome during the recording! “
