The Klavis CalTrans Black is a seriously useful module for anyone wrestling with oscillator tuning in their modular system. It’s especially brilliant for those wanting to dial in precise microtonal tunings or create seamless, controlled glides across multiple oscillators; it's a great addition to any experimental or sound design focused rack.

Product Description

  • Klavis CalTrans Black
  • Eurorack Module
  • 4-Channel
  • Measures and calibrates the pitch CV characteristics of up to 4 oscillators and corrects them for octave-pure tracking
  • Octave and semitone selection over 10 octaves
  • Portamento and glissando adjustable per channel 0 - 10 sec.
  • Built-in chromatic quantiser
  • 4 Memory locations for transposition
  • glissando and portamento settings
  • Current requirement: 44 mA (+12 V) / 8 mA (-12 V)
  • Width: 6 HP
  • Depth: 36 mm
PROS
  • • Exceptional octave-pure tracking correction drastically improves oscillator stability.
  • • Four channels offer significant flexibility for complex oscillator setups.
  • • Memory locations streamline recall of custom transposition and glide settings.
  • • Compact 6HP footprint is ideal for densely populated Eurorack cases.
CONS
  • • Limited channel count might restrict users with very complex oscillator needs.
  • • Calibration process requires careful attention and a reliable reference signal.
  • • The depth of 36mm could pose installation issues in shallow racks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike a tuner pedal, CalTrans Black operates directly within the CV realm, correcting pitch *before* it reaches the oscillator – it's a much more integrated solution.
While CalTrans Black is robust, extreme waveform complexities or rapidly changing pitch characteristics might reduce its effectiveness; it works best with relatively stable oscillators.
Yes, absolutely. As long as the oscillator’s CV output is a standard voltage signal, CalTrans Black can measure and correct it.
