TRIQ164 is a 4-track, 16-step trigger sequencer. Four track buttons select the track to be edited; with 16 buttons each step of the track can be activated an is then displayed by an LED. For more info and to buy visit: www.tangiblewaves.com/store/p52/TRIQ164.html |

Do I understand it correctly that TRIQ64 can run four independent trigger sequences of up to 16 steps at once? I'm not sure if I need it badly, or if my old STEP10 will do for a moment  |

Do I understand it correctly that TRIQ64 can run four independent trigger sequences of up to 16 steps at once? I'm not sure if I need it badly, or if my old STEP10 will do for a moment It works pretty much as 808 : you select a track (pushing 1,2,3 or 4), write a pattern, go to another track edit it, and so on. You might want to buy one, it's pretty lit, but it's still only the triggers. I'm sure sure you know this, but my point is that to use it as a full 4 voices sequencer requires 2 2ENV Modules+2VCA Modules. Having only 2vcas+2env is quite limitating for me at the moment (so clealry I'll have to buy new ones when I want to go to the next step (no pun intended)). If you don't have enough vca+env right now, another module that could fit nicely is the DRUMS 010 wich is still at the prototyping stage, so maybe you want to wait for this before buying TRIQ164. Also note that DRUMS 010 will ask for less patching than make each drum sound yourself (wich happens to be good in some situations). One trick I like to do with it is to send one of his trigger sequences as a clock to the seq16 so you can vary the time a sequence takes to go through, wich can sitting next to your drum tracks. I also did this with volca FM's sync in and combined with arpeggiator it gives weird funny results. |

Do I understand it correctly that TRIQ64 can run four independent trigger sequences of up to 16 steps at once? I'm not sure if I need it badly, or if my old STEP10 will do for a moment I'm not the most qualified, however I will give you my opinion based on how useful I find the TRIQ164 and how I approach "gear acquisition" I've found the TRIQ164 really useful as a source of triggers for resetting the SEQ16 at pre-determined points; I've used it in combination with clocks or other triggers via LOGIC to gate the ENVs; I've used it as a non-symmetrical clock signal; and I've used it as a straight rhythm generator to gate a drone. I'm just at the tip of the iceberg, my point is more that it can be drafted in to do so many different things - many of which you just won't have thought of yet I wondered how I would use it until I started solving problems with it, now it's a key part of my rhythmic patches, even with the SEQ16 or an external sequencer. That brings me to my second point, my gear acquisition strategy. I prefer strategy to syndrome as I like to think that I'm in control. If I have a problem that can't be solved with what I've already got, I go away and think again just to be sure. Then, if I still need (want) to solve the problem, I consider what I need to do that. For me, the move from the STEP10 to a TRIQ164 would likely sit in this space. i.e. what is it that I can't solve/do now that the new module would enable me to do - and that I need/want to do. Apologies, this is almost crtainly blindingly obvious, but it may be helpful. Of course, you can always get the TRIQ164 when you order your first batch of extra modules, as you likely will. I realised that I wanted to do a few things that needed the 4ATTMIX and the 3VCSWITCH, so I ordered them when I bought a few other goodies. I had been getting by easily without them and I found a work-around. I also realised that I needed more VCAs and ENVs to really exploit the modular, so I got some of those as well. My point...? There's no hurry and you will almost certainly be buying more as you explore more deeply. Luckily, at these prices, it's possible with relative ease |

What does that mean ? Where can I adjust the Speed ? Or is this Sequencer without any Clock and not usable without any external MIDI Clock ? Thanks a lot and Cheers Dirk |

Thanks a lot and Cheers Dirk Hi, yes for some reason there is always one LED on, you can choose any one, once you turn on another one you can turn off the first one. You can also use the pulse out of the LFO to clock the TRIQ164, you don't have to use MIDI. You would then adjust the speed by changing the frequency of the LFO. You can also change the speed by changing the pulsewidth of the LFO. Just play around with these settings. |

I'm not sure if I need it badly, or if my old STEP10 will do for a moment This may be a bit late now, but I have created a tutorial video on how to use the TRIQ164. It's really basic so please bear with me if you already know how to do the basic patches. |

How can I choose which steps are affected by the repeat ?

I've found some problems with Repeat on the TRIQ164.
First off, Repeat doesn't seem to be very accurate in its timing. The main beat is accurate (since it's driven by the clock) but the repeated sub-beats are not very on-time, and their inaccuracy is inconsistent from beat to beat.
Second, Repeat will occasionally and randomly miss a repeat sub-beat here and there.
Does anyone know what might be going on? I'm feeding in triggers, square wave gates, whatnot, it still happens. I don't think there's a voltage drop. Is there are a particular trigger style that works better? Is there a newer version or firmware which might have dealt with these issues?

I ordered one myself and will need to do extended testing and patching once it arrives. As I understand it one has to be able to dial in up to 8 repetitions per step, individually. So I will see whether this means I can dial in triplets etc.

Actually, I cannot seem to get my unit to do different per-step repearts. I think the procedure is that you press the track button (say, Track 1), and while holding it, press the step button, and while holding both, turn the repeats knob. Or at least that is what is implied in the Wiki. But it doesn't work -- instead all steps on all tracks update their repeats to the value set.
Perhaps I have an old unit? Can anyone verify?

That's not how I understand it to work. You dial in a number of repetitions with the knob and that is the same for all steps which are selected for repeats.

Okay, I think my confusion was that on my TRIQ164, all the steps that were on were also selected for repeats, and the wiki description could use improvement. For posterity, here's how I would have described it on the Wiki. - TRACK Buttons [1-4] - select the current track. The current track's steps are then displayed, and can be edited with the step buttons, and the 16 trigger outputs are those of the current track only.
The track buttons are also used in combination with the STEP buttons to edit which steps in a track may have repeated triggers. To do this, first hold down the track button for the desired track. While the button is held down, the step LEDs will instead display those steps in the desired track that presently have repeated triggers. While holding down the track button, you can now press STEP buttons to toggle repeated triggers for each step. When you release the track button, the LEDs return to displaying the active steps of the current track.
- REPEAT Knob - select the number of repeats within one step, i.e. ratcheting, for those steps set to do repeated triggers. From no repeated triggers (turned all the way to the left) to 8 repeated triggers (turned all the way to the right). You can also change the number of repeated triggers via the REPEAT CV input.

Another item missing from the wiki: how the sequence is saved.
It appears that the sequence is saved after a wait of about 30 seconds, maybe to avoid burning flash or eeprom too much? If you power cycle the unit before then, the sequence is lost.

Thanks, all great suggestions! I've adjusted the wiki accordingly: wiki.aemodular.com/pmwiki.php/AeManual/TRIQ164 |

I don't know whether this is a bug but my TRIG164 has on bootup the first 8 steps of track 4 automatically set to repeat. I can switch it of and sequence another config, but once I reboot my system (minutes after I made the ast change to my TRIG164 sequence) the first 8 steps of track 4 are back to repeating steps. What is going on here?

To add insult to injury, repeats programmed in track 2 were lost after I rebooted my rack. robertlanger is this a known issue or is my TRIQ164 not happy to boot up at the same time as my SAMPLYR and AEuropI modules I also have a RAINS in the same 2x16 rack so I start to wonder whether this is to much for the power module that is powering this rack. |
