René was developed in collaboration with rmware wizard Yerpa58. We spent nearly one full year realizing
and growing the original concepts, and over that time we also became good friends. In all, it was wonderful
project, and we hope to realize others.
Also of great help in developing René were Shawn “Packin' Peanuts!” Cleary, Josh “Wood‐nger” Kay, Richard
“don't like sequencers” Devine, Aaron “Leadnger” Abrams, Surachai, James “Data Cadet” Cigler, Tim
“Stone‐Finger” Hurley and especially, Kelly Kelbel.
Electrocution Hazard!
Always turn the Eurorack case o and unplug the power cord before plugging or un-plugging any Eurorack
bus board connection cable cable.
Do not touch any electrical terminals when attaching any Eurorack bus board cable.
The Make Noise Rene is an electronic music module requiring 80 mA of +12VDC and 0 mA of -12VDC
regulated voltage and a properly formatted distribution receptacle to operate. It must be properly installed
into a Eurorack format modular synthesizer system case.
Go to http://www.makenoisemusic.com/systems.shtml for examples of Eurorack Systems and Cases.
To install, nd 34HP of space in your Eurorack synthesizer case, conrm proper installation of included
eurorack bus board connector cable on backside of module (see picture below), plug the bus board
connector cable into the Eurorack style bus board, minding the polarity so that the RED stripe on the cable is
oriented to the NEGATIVE 12 Volt line on both the module and the bus board. On the Make Noise 6U or 3U
Busboard, the negative 12 Volt line is indicated by the white stripe.
The René module is not compatible with power solutions using the MeanWell brand AC Adapters.
The René module will not work on power solution using the MeanWell brand AC Adapters.
Make Noise will not be able to provide support for René modules used on power solutions using the
MeanWell brand AC Adapters.
Please refer to your case manufacturers’ specications for location of the negative

Overview:
René is deep, but all you really need to know: Patch one clock to X‐CLK, and a second clock to Y‐CLK, adjust
clock rates and/ or divisors, tune voltages per location (the knobs) as desired. Adjusting those two clocks
relative to each other will create seemingly innite variations on the theme that is your sequence. Much
joy may be had without any further knowledge, but I am certain you will want to know more, so read on.
René is the world's rst and only Cartesian Sequencer for music synthesizers. Named for the French
philosopher and mathematician René Descartes, it uses his cartesian coordinate system to unlock the analog
step sequencer from the shackles of linearity. Like the classic analog sequencers, there are only 16 steps on
René, each having an associated knob with which the note for that step is tuned. However, using René the
patterns are not limited to 16 steps in length because the path taken through those steps is, for all practical
purposes, innite. In fact, René does not “step” at all, but rather it maps coordinates to locations in a grid,
and because if this, it is possible to move in ways that you would never imagine a step sequencer to move.
For this reason, we call the 16 steps on René “LOCATIONS,” and rather than one Clock input there are two;
one each for the X‐Axis, and the Y‐Axis.
The primary goal of this sequencer is to have a maximum amount of artist controlled musical variation, with
a minimum amount of data input. There are no menus, ALL editing is done real‐time, and thus, the
ProGraMming of René becomes a key performance element.
The basic concept for how René works: each
Axis is being driven by the corresponding clock and control voltages, to generate a number from 0 to 3.
These numbers together make up the coordinates for the next location that René will go to. For example,
if X hits 2 and Y is at 3, then René goes to location 14.
The concept is simple, but the results are madly complex, especially when combined with some of the other
math that René will do.

Inputs:
1. X-CLK Input: Clock/Gate signal (of width greater than .5ms and amplitude greater than 2.5V) applied
to this input drives the X-Axis Counter. If using MATHS to clock, then set Vari-Response to
LINEAR. When René counts Snake Style, X-CLK steps linearly through a stored set of
coordinates; it drives the sequence.
2. X-MOD Input: The state of this input (either HI or LO) further determines behavior of René depending
upon the selections made in the X-Fun PGM Page. For example, when CLK-RST is selected
under X-Fun a logic HI at this input will Reset the X-Axis Counter to 0.
3. X-CV Input: Control signal at this input generate a number that is added to the number generated by
the X-Axis Counter, to create the X coordinate. When René counts Snake Style, X-CV scans
linearly through a stored set of coordinates. X-CV is normalled to +5V so that with
nothing patched the attenuator acts as oset generator
4. X-CV Input CV Attenuator
5. Y-CLK Input: Clock/Gate signal (of width greater then .5ms and amplitude greater then 2.5V) applied
to this input drives the Y-Axis counter. If using MATHS to clock, then set Vari-Response to
LINEAR. When René counts Snake Style, Y-CLK selects stored coordinates set.
6. Y-MOD Input: The state of this input (either HI or LO) further determines behavior of René depending
upon the selections made in the Y-Fun PGM Page. For example, when Glide is selected
under Y-Fun a logic HI at this input will engage the glide function.
7. Y-CV Input: Control signal at this input generate a number that is added to the number generated by
the Y-Axis Counter, to create the Y coordinate. When René counts Snake Style, Y-CV
selects stored set of coordinates.. Y-CV is normalled to +5V so that with nothing patched,
the attenuator acts as an oset generator.

Sensivity:
9. Touch Grid sensitivity control. To increase sensitivity, set the position 100% clockwise.
Outputs:
10. QCV: The Quantized Control Voltage for the currently active location will appear at this output. QCV
may also yield a Stored Quantized Voltage (if selected on Q Page), in which case the
corresponding location potentiometer is no longer “live.” Value: 4 octaves.
11. CV: An unquantized Control Voltage of the currently selected location will appear at this output. At
the CV OUT, the location potentiometers are always “live.” Value: 0 to 4.5V.
12. Gate X: This output reects the ProGraMming on the X-Gate Page. When René arrives at a location,
and the location is set to ON (lighted) at the X-Gate PGM Page, this output goes HI for duration
determined by the XCLK width and any ProGraMmed Logic Operations that Axis Clock or Gate.
When counting SNAKE style, the Gate output is always a skinny pulse (2ms) perfect for ringing
LoPass Gates. Value: 0V or +8V.
13. Gate Y: This output reects the ProGraMming on the Y-Gate Page. When René arrives at a location,
and the location is set to ON (lighted) at the Y-Gate PGM Page, this output goes HI for duration
determined by the YCLK width and any ProGraMmed Logic Operations aecting the Axis Clock or
Gate. When counting SNAKE style, the Gate output is always a skinny pulse (2ms) perfect for
ringing LoPass Gates. Value: 0V or +8V.

4x4 CV Programming grid: Potentiometers sets Tuned Voltage for corresponding Locations, 0 thru 15.
4x4 touch grid: In PLAY mode, the touch pads may be used to set ACCESS in real time, eectively allowing
the performer to play the ACCESS parameter. In use, this means that René will go to only the locations that
the performer is touching. Additionally, touching and releasing a single location while René is PLAYing will
set a new start point, thus creating a variation on your sequence. With no Clocks patched to René, touching
any location on the Touch Grid will select said location, and the CV and QCV value is held until the next
location is touched, or a clock pulse is applied to either X-CLK or Y-CLK. This is useful for Programming or
Tuning Notes (with CV applied to VCO 1V/oct input, for example). In ProGraM Pages, the Touch Grid is used
select and deselect the various parameters available under each PGM Page.
PGM 1: This Touch Plate is used to cycle through the dierent ProGraM Pages. Each of the 6 ProGraM pages
has an associated LED which lights when selected. PGM1 returns to last selected PGM Page.
PGM 2: While PLAYing, this Touch Plate is used to Latch/Unlatch the steps held by the performer using the
4x4 Touch Grid. Once within the PGM Pages, the PGM2 touch is used to EXIT the PGM Pages and return to
PLAY. The PGM2 button is also used to save the default start‐up programming for René. To do this, make all
changes to all ProGraM Pages. Touch PGM2 and exit PGM Pages. Now, Touch and [HOLD] PGM2 until all
PGM LED’s blink.
Play
This is the primary state of mind in which René will exist. The Location Lights (within the Knobs) show the
Cartesian or Snake motion of the sequence through the grid. While in PLAY, the performer may usethe
touch grid to ProGraM ACCESS on the y, stop and hold the sequence at a particular note or set a new start
point. Touching PGM1 brings up the PGM Pages (see below). Touching PGM2 LATCHES locations currently
touched by the performer (if any). All of the PGM Page LEDs will light until PGM2 is touched again, at which
point the Latched pattern is no longer. Movement is always governed by the X-CLK and Y-CLK inputs. For
example, the performer cannot select a three step sequence in the Y direction if there is no Y clock signal
input. Touch and HOLD PGM2 for 2 seconds, and the current state of René (all programming) is saved as the
start‐up state.
ProGraM Pages
These pages give the performer real‐time control over the deeper processes within René, allowing real time
sculpting of the thought processes that drives the sequence.
ACCESS: the performer Grants ACCESS or Denies ACCESS to any of the 16 Locations in the Touch
Grid. If a Location is ON (lighted), the René will be able to map those coordinates. If a location
is OFF (not lighted), then René not be able to map those coordinates, and will either SEEK the
nearest possible location, or SLEEP (keep in mind, that René counts in it's sleep) until
mappable coordinates are conjured. Thus, ACCESS ProGraMming allows the performer to limit
a pattern to certain Locations.
X‐Gate: The performer may select/deselect which Locations in the 4x4 Touch Grid will generate a
gate at the G-X Output.
Y‐Gate: The performer may select/deselect which Locations in the 4x4 Touch Grid will generate a
gate at the G-Y Output output.
X‐FUN: At this Page the 4x4 Touch Grid is used to edit the behavior of the X‐Axis. For complete
details of X‐FUN’s features, please see appendix A.
Y‐FUN: At this Page the 4x4 Touch Grid is used to edit the behavior of the Y‐Axis. For complete
details of X‐FUN’s features please see appendix A.
Q: This PGM Page gives the performer the ability to dene the Scale to which the QCV will be
quantized. The performer is also given four slots to store Scales and the Voltages
Programmed at the 16 Locations. For complete details of the Quantization Edit mode, please
see appendix B.
