As a new QC user, I am only really missing one thing: a stutter/step filter/slicer effect. Will this be added? Is there a way to fake this? Couldn’t really get too close with the tremolo last night… ---

There is not a simple QC-only solution for a step filter or slicer. I keep an Empress Zoia on my board for weirder effects like this that I can build from the ground up. One thing that would be MASSIVELY useful in the QC is the ability to add LFOs (and Gate, Random, Sample & Hold, Envelope, etc.) to modulate parameters in various blocks. You could easily replicate step filter sounds with this function.

It would be a great implementation, it would allow to create very elaborate effects, without creating new modules. Thanks a lot. ---

It’s why I haven’t sold my M9 yet. Using a filter that switches between triplets and eigth notes for a slightly random glitchy feel. Only use it for one song, but still, that song needs it. ---

I’m using a boss sl-2 pedal for slicing effects, but it would be great to have a programmable slicer in the QC. Can you imagine to have that with the overlord synths sounds on Rabea’s archetype!!! massive!!! ---

Kemper just released slicer and a their own harmonic tremolo. Surely this is possible for QC.

How about the new pattern trem. Does this solve it? ---

Well… yes and no. I’m not sure that this feature request defines the desired effect as well as it should. I would say that the new pattern tremolo _halfway_ fulfills this request. It’s easy to use and sounds great. If we’re talking about a _step filter_, that’s a different thing–a stepped LFO modulating a filter being applied to the signal (duh). The filter effect could have a pattern going up or down, or some more complex sequence, or have a randomized sample-and-hold pattern (check out the Earthquaker Devices Spatial Delivery v3 for a good example of this). In my mind the two main references for this type of effect are the Boss Slicer, which leans more on being a tremolo effect, and the Moogerfooger MuRF, which leans very heavily on the filter side. I have owned both and they each have their strengths. I still think LFO / gate / envelope request I linked above would be an enormous benefit to the QC, and would essentially take care of all of the scope of this request. ---

if you’re looking for pattern manipulation, the Circular Delay can also be pretty useful in creating mini-loops or patterns to morph and work with- much like the trem it can chop out a fixed pattern of repeats and then stop. On a parallel split you could further process those patterns and isolate them if needed.
