The ADDAC 217 is a seriously useful little module if you're working with drum machines or other devices that output gates, but need precise trigger signals. It’s a no-nonsense solution for quickly and cleanly turning those gates into snappy triggers for envelopes or sequencers, and its small size is a real bonus in tight Eurorack setups. Perfect for anyone building a drum voice or wanting to add rhythmic complexity.

Product Description

  • ADDAC 217 Quad Gate to Trigger
  • Eurorack Module
  • 4 Independent channels for controlling drum modules or envelopes
  • Each channel converts gate signals into 1ms triggers
  • Bypass switch per channel
  • Current consumption: 10 mA (+12 V) / 10 mA (-12 V)
  • Width: 3 HP
  • Depth: 25 mm
PROS
  • • Four independent channels offer significant routing flexibility.
  • • 1ms trigger conversion provides precise envelope shaping.
  • • Compact 3HP footprint maximizes valuable rack space.
  • • Bypass switches per channel allow for easy signal comparison.
CONS
  • • 3HP width can feel cramped for complex patching scenarios.
  • • Limited functionality beyond gate-to-trigger conversion.
  • • Power draw, while modest, adds up in a densely populated rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

While not the absolute fastest on the market, 1ms is generally sufficient for most envelope shaping applications, providing a clean and responsive trigger signal.
Primarily a gate-to-trigger converter, it's not a rhythm generator itself, but it's a crucial building block for creating complex patterns by triggering other modules.
It's a true bypass, meaning it completely removes the module from the signal path when engaged, preserving the original gate signal without alteration.
