Håkan Müller, creator of the Hamu devices passed away in May 2018. He suffered from ALS for 3 years and finally decided to leave.
To honor Håkan, you can use his Rack Extensions for free from now on.
Please remember Håkan when you are inking your rack purple.

The ModStepper lets you switch on any selector from any pair of keys on your midi keyboard.

Now you can easily select between filter modes, waveforms etc. of your favourite devices from your keyboard. Just tap e.g. key C#0 to select previous and D#0 to select next.
You control the ModStepper with any gate or trigger CV input signals, which you typically get from MidiTapper devices, but Kong or Thor can also be used, and maybe other REs too.
With up to 32 steps, you can even find it useful to use ModStepper for continuous knobs and faders. However, if you want to get a continuous change on continuous parameters, you should check out the twin device ModSweeper.

BASIC FUNCTION

Yes, it’s one more of those CV devices and, yes, it will make it easier for you to control important parameters in your rack setup. Aimed especially maybe, at musicians who use their Reason in live performance situations.

ModStepper primarily targets modulation of stepped knobs, switches or faders, but can also be used for continuous controllers.

This is a CV transformation device which typically takes pulse and gate signals on the inputs and generates a steady signal level on the output.

TYPICAL SETUP

The typical use of the ModStepper lets you switch on any selector from any pair of keys on your midi keyboard.
You can control the ModStepper with any gate or trigger CV input signals, which you typically get from MidiTapper devices, but Kong or Thor can also be used, and maybe other REs too. The MidiTapper, however, is especially well suited to use all the features of the ModStepper.
The output CV can go directly to the modulation socket of the selector, if there is one, else you use a Combinator CV input and route this in the Combinator programmer to affect the target selector.

Check out the video for how to setup ModStepper for typical use, using MidiTapper as a source for the trig modulation inputs.
And if you are an experienced CV and cable user, I’m sure you can find other interesting ways to use this device!

FEATURES

There are three up/down pairs of buttons/inputs, which move the out level in different amounts, and one knob to specify how many steps there should be on the output between 0.0V and 1.0V (for the unipolar output).

NUMBER OF STEPS

Defines how many steps there is from end to end on the outputs.
Available numbers goes from 1 to 32.

Up and down buttons/signals:

• FULL to immediately move the outputs to full low or high end level. Activate both at the same time to move output to mid point.
• STEP to move the output one step at the time
• JUMP to move in larger steps. 1/5 of the full scale to be exact, which is 0.2V on the unipolar output.
