    DESCRIPTION 8 independent 16-stage CV sequencers packed with performance features and presets makes the Voltage Block the ultimate CV tool. Create quantized or unquan- tized sequences for each output, record your modulation changes, tie sequences together, mute on the fly, randomize your outputs and so much more. The Voltage Block can be used stand-alone or pairs well with Varigate 4 and especially Varigate 8+ to share clocking and preset save/recall.
