Notes: Based on similar circuits to the legendary Maths module, the CH.SVR ('channel saver' is a three-part function generator module based around sum/offset/attenuversion features. Great value for an accessible entry point to CV signal processing.

Supplier's Notes:
The Ch.Svr music synthesiser module is a small utility module, offering several channels of signal-processing that will be useful in just about any modular system. As a condensation/extension of the sum/offset/attenuversion aspects of MATHS, it continues the great tradition of sculpting the control signals we use to sculpt our sound signals.

Features:

Scale, amplify, attenuate, or invert an incoming signal using Channels 1 or 2
Generate DC offsets when Channel 1 or 2 is unpatched
Crossfade between two signals, or attenuate one signal, using Channel 3
SUM and INVerted Sum Bus for addition, subtraction, mirroring, inversion etc.
Individual Channel Outputs for Channels 1 and 2 allow independent use of all three channels
Anywhere you need more subtle modulation, Ch.Svr is there for you... now all your eurorack slivers may have subtle and intentional modulation they deserve!

Notes: Mr. Phil Ter is a module that does a whole bunch of analog and digital stuff, in not a lot of HP.

Phil's digital bits are solely comprised of the envelope generator, for your envelopy pleasure.

The analogue bits, developed in partnership with the folks at Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers, and are comprised of a voltage controlled amplifier circuit (VCA) as well as an extra juicy old-school transistor ladder filter, perfect for those of you who are not afraid of ladders or transistors.

Anyway, pair Mr. Phil Ter up with any oscillato,r or crank up its own filter section's resonance, and self-oscillate, get crazy.

Width = 12hp

Depth = 26mm

Envelope facts

Voltage range: 0-10V

Gate trigger threshold voltage: +5V

Attack, Release, and Decay times 0-10s (slow). 0-5s (fast)

Easter egg mode - quantize itself to 7bit for a steppy sample & hold effect

VCA facts - It's a VCA, not YMCA or YWCA, but made with love. Sound or voltage goes in, and it will come out, or not. Control it with voltage or not. You can never have too many VCA's, and this a good one.

Filter facts - Classic low-pass transistor ladder filter design, also will self-oscillate when resonance is cranked, creating a super clean trackable sine wave

Notes: A-101-6 is a new filter module that uses so-called opto FET's to control the filter frequency. Opto FET's are very similar to Vactrols, but use light dependent field effect transistors (FET's) instead of light dependent resistors (LDR's). An opto FET is a combination of a light-dependent FET and an LED, both put into a small light-proof case. The advantage, compared to vactrols, is a much faster response of opto FET's compared to LDR's - this allows much faster attack/decay times and even FM effects.

The variable resistors corresponds to the opto FET. The brightness of the Opto FET LED's, and consequently the filter frequency, can be adjusted manually (Frequ. control) and controlled by means of an external control voltage (CV) with attenuator. The LED at the front panel reflects the LED brightness inside the opto FET's.

The type of filter is chosen by jumpers on the PC board (factory setting: low pass). The type of filter determined by the jumpers positions can be marked by means of a water-resistant felt pen at the front panel.

The resonance is controlled by the Feedback control up to self-oscillation. By means of a trimming potentiometer the maximal feedback can be adjusted. High feedback values can be used mainly in the all-pass mode to obtain very extreme self-oscillation sounds. Even an external feedback signal can be used instead of the internal feedback connection (FB In socket). Whenever the filter type is changed by means of the jumpers the trimming potentiometer for the maximal feedback has to be re-adjusted.

The Mix control is used to pan between the original signal (CCW position) and the effect signal (CW position). In filter mode (LP/HP) this control is usually set fully CW. In the all-pass modes one obtains phasing sounds at centre position or "pure" all-pass sound in fully CW position.

Notes: Out is a 1U stereo output module designed to convert audio signals from your modular to line-levels.

Notes: TriTone is a three section EQ plus saturator. Inner knobs control frequency and outer knobs control +- gain. All these sections Hi Shelf, Band Pass and Low Shelf are having + 20 db of gain and 30 db of reduction. Each section can work independently or they can be serially connected by the switches. Middle input in each section accepts CV for its frequency, so all three sections can be individually FMed by the external CVs.

If the inputs are fed with the modular level signals (+- 5V), then there is little room for "plus" EQ gains before saturation starts. In this case the input level should be attenuated first, if saturation is not desired and much "plus" gain is needed. Otherwise saturation drastically enriches the tone and the module works like very flexible overdrive FX.

When the switches are set to upper positions, then all three sections work independently. With the maximum gain reduction (CCW position) of the upper section (Hi Shelf) it becomes a useful kind of Low Pass filter. On the contrary - maximum gain reductions of the lower section (Low Shelf) makes it a High Pass filter.

Please note the internal routing done by the switches: the output of the uppers section is added to the input of the subsequent lower section. If nothing is connection to this lower sections' input, then only the upper section's output is processed. This makes it a 3 band EQ with the switches set to lower position. Having separated inputs opens up more possibilities over ordinary EQs.

Notes: Module A-130-2v is composed of two identical voltage controlled amplifiers (VCA). Each VCA has a manual gain control (also named Initial Gain) and a control voltage input with attenuator. The character of the control scale can be switched to linear or exponential. All inputs and outputs are DC coupled. Consequently the VCAs can be used to process both audio and control voltages (e.g. for voltage control of the level of LFO or envelope signals). The signal input has no attenuator available but is capable to process up to 16Vpp signals (i.e. -8V...+8V) without distortion. For the processing of higher levels an external attenuator (e.g. A-183-1) is recommended.

The amplification range is 0...1. Even with a higher external control voltage the amplification remains at 1 (kind of "amplification clipping" at 1).

Controls (for each of both units):

Gain: manual gain control (Initial Gain) in the range 0...1
CV: attenuator for the CV input
lin/exp: switches the VCA characteristic to linear or exponential, in center position the VCA is off (mute function)
Inputs and outputs (for each of both units):

CV: control voltage input, min. +5V required for max. amplification (1) with CV control fully CW and Gain fully CCW
In: signal input, max. 16Vpp (+8V...-8V) without distortion
Out: signal output

A-130-2v is the slim version of module A-132-3 and offers essentially the same features. But the distances between the controls are smaller and rubberized small-sized knobs are used. In return the front panel has 4 HP only which is half the width of the A-132-3. The module is primarily planned for applications where only limited space is available.

Power consumption: 30mA at +12V and 30mA at -12V

Erica Black series are high-end modules with unique functionality. Only the highest quality components are used and all inputs and outputs are protected against undesired overvoltage. When designing the Black Series, we did not economise on the module width, we put design and usability first. Big knobs are assigned to functions that make difference in sound. Together the Erica Black series are a range of modules that make an entire synthesizer.

NB! This expander module can be connected only to Black VCO and Black VCO2. It will not work as a standalone eurorack module.

Notes: Each of the two sections of the module is capable of performing the analog multiplication of two signals (A and B) and add an offset (C). It can also act as a dual voltage controlled attenuverter, dual ring modulator, dual VCA or four channel mixer (see block diagram below).

The B inputs are routed to an attenuverter that multiplies the signal between -2 to 2, while the offset inputs (C) route through a unity gain attenuverter (multiplies the signal between -1 and 1).

The output of first section is routed to the output of the second (when the first's output is unused), so the second output can act as master to achieve (A1*B1+C1) + (A2*B2+C2) or (A1 + C1) + (A2 + C2) - a 4 channel mixer.

The through-zero (four-quadrant) multipliers in the A*B+C allow for true Ring Modulation. To achieve this, simply connect two waveforms to the A and B inputs.

Notes: ST.MAR is a 3-channel Stereo Mixer with individual and master volume controls, CV modulation and mute switches. All the basics to blend your stereo signals in only 8HP.

Notes: HN VCF is a state variable filter having 12 db Low Pass, 12 dB High Pass, 6 dB Band Pass plus 18 db Low Pass marked as "LP!", because it has extra drive. All three parameters: "Freq", "Resonance" and "Drive" have dual knobs with outer knobs controlling bipolar CV amount. These affected CVs are then shown by the relative green/blue LEDs.

The possibility to have CV over "Resonance" and "Drives" makes it a very capable 6 HP filter.

"LP!" output has 6 dB steeper slope (18 dB) compared to ordinary 12 dB "LP" output. Plus it has much more drive.

Notes: Super Sawtor is the module designed to produce unison like waveforms from the incoming signal. The best results are achieved using sawtooth, triangle or sine waveforms as an input signal. Unison spread has been tuned to give almost the same type of harmonics smearing as the famous Roland JP80X0 Supersaw oscillator. Thus feeding the Super Sawtor with a sawtooth waveform will result in a typical Supersaw output.

Though having some common features with sawtooth animators, Super Sawtor gives that vivid tension of the Supersaw waveform, which is different to imitation of the multiple oscillators sound most sawtooth animators capable of doing. The main difference is in the approach used: sawtooth animators tend to recreate continuously moving phase shift of the slightly detuned / drifting oscillators; super Sawtor in its turn creates additional pitched shifted harmonics to the input signal, which gives a different sonic character compared to sawtooth animators.

It is also should be mentioned that Super Sawtor is a completely analogue circuit free of aliasing.

No external modulation sources are required for proper operation of the module. However the user can add changes and modulation to the manually set "Spread" amount by using "Cv" input and adjusting "Cv" knob to the desired degree.

Specifications:
Input level: -5v... + 5v (can also accept inputs ranging from [-2.5v... +2.5v] To [-15v...+15v] Using onboard trimmers)

Notes: Module A-105-2 is a voltage controlled low pass filter with 24dB/octave slope.

It is the successor of the A-105 which had to be discontinued because the obsolete SSM2044 filter circuit. The A-105-2 is based on the SSI2144 which is in turn the successor circuit of the SSM2044. The features of both modules are nearly the same. The main difference is the clearly reduced front panel width of the A-105-2 (4HP instead of 8HP) and the associated changes of the controls and sockets positions. In addition the A-105-2 is equipped with 2 audio inputs.

The module has these controls and in/outputs available:

Control Frequ: manual frequency control
Control FCV2: attenuator for the frequency control voltage applied to socket FCV2
Control Q: manual resonance control
Control QCV: attenuator for the resonance control voltage applied to socket QCV
Control Input 1 Level: attenuator for the audio input signal applied to socket Input 1
Socket Input 1: audio input 1 (with attenuator)
Socket Input 2: audio input 2 (without attenuator)
Socket FCV1: frequency control voltage 1 (without attenuator, about 1V/oct scale)
Socket FCV2: frequency control voltage 2 (with attenuator)
Socket QCV: resonance control voltage (with attenuator)
Socket Out: audio output
Technical notes:

Frequency range: about 15Hz ... 15 kHz
Resonance up to self oscillation
Max. input voltage at Input 2 without clipping/distortion: about 15Vpp
Max. output voltage without clipping/distortion: about 15Vpp
The signals of both inputs are mixed before they are processed by the filter. This saves an external mixer for small setups.

Notes: ADDAC809 is a dynamic CV operated I/O router that allows one source (Audio or CV) to be routed through 2 different chains (of one or more modules) before being sent to an output.
Six routing patterns are allowed:

1. IN > OUT
2. IN > CHAIN A > OUT
3. IN > CHAIN B > OUT
4. IN > CHAIN A > CHAIN B > OUT
5. IN > CHAIN B > CHAIN A > OUT
6. IN > > OUT
A practical example is to have an audio source, a delay and a looper.
And the question: should the delay be placed before or after the looper? Sometimes you may need the delay to be before the looper as you may want to sample the audio with the delay or sample the pure audio source and apply the delay afterwards.
This small utility module solves this issue on the fly without having to repatch anything.

INPUTS & OUTPUTS

TO CHAIN B: Connect to your Chain B input
FROM CHAIN B: Connect to your Chain B output
TO CHAIN A: Connect to your Chain A input
FROM CHAIN A: Connect to your Chain A output
INPUT: Connect to your Input Source
OUTPUT: Connect to your Output Source

ROUTING PATTERNS

There are 2 ways to address the six routing patterns:

Buttons: using the frontpanel push buttons and/or dedicated trigger inputs to latch between 2 states.
BYPASS: Chooses between Pattern 1 and any other pattern
PARALLEL: Chooses between Pattern 6 and any other pattern
ORDER: Chooses the order A before B or B before A
DUAL/SINGLE: Chooses to use a Dual (A>B or B>A) or Single chain (A or B)
CV: The dedicated CV input expects a 0 to +5v input and allows to jump to the precise routing pattern using a specific voltage interval in increments of approx. 0.83V:

Pattern 1: 0v to 0.83v
Pattern 2: 0.83v to 1.66v
Pattern 3: 1.66v to 2.5v
Pattern 4: 2.5v to 3.33V
Pattern 5: 3.33v to 4.16V
Pattern 6: 4.16v to 5V

Notes: The CP909 is the TR-909's analogue clap sound generator in Eurorack format. This is yet another low-cost analogue drum generator from a legendary drum machine in your modular synthesizer, expanding your Tiptop Audio modular drum machine even further.

The CP909 is an exact reproduction of the original analogue circuit and with the addition of just one extra knob, "trashing" the frequency of the internal noise generator, Tiptop have added greatly to the spectrum of sounds that can be generated. All that without compromising the signature sound of the TR-909.

The CP909 clap effect is made by a special triple-saw envelope generator that controls the gain of a VCA. The sound source feeding into the VCA is made by a quasi-random logic- based noise generator. Some might call it "digital noise", though this term might be misleading in today's world of microcontrollers and sound samples. What really makes the noise generator is a ring of logic gates, so primitive, so 80s, and so much the sound of the 909 Clap!

The CP909 includes a high-powered output gain stage capable of producing hot signals. On the inputs, Tiptop have designed a pulse-shaper circuit so you can trigger the CP909 with trigger/gate signals from step sequencers, clocks, dividers, or any other pulse/clock sources. This eliminates the need to shape pulses sent to the module and ensures the same stable sound at peak power, regardless of your pulse source. Based on the architecture of the 909, the Accent input is versatile and able to take in both CV and Gate signals for continuously changing dynamics. All these unique features make integrating this legendary sound generator into your modular synth easy, unleashing the power of real analogue drums.

Notes: The Dystopia is ideal for complex patches where sound can be used to thicken the sound or filter out frequencies. It features a noise generator which can provide white, white to pink, white to blue, scatter, digital, pitch types of noise. The digital noise is brilliant as it can be used as a random gate generator. The bit crusher stage can range from one second up to 8kHz - meaning you can obtain really thick distortions - ideal for a range of styles of music. You can reference all the signals through the four LEDs too - which help you determine the level at which the module is pumping out the noise sources.

Notes: What does this do?

This is an analogue filter based on the 1974 SEM filter. The original early design did not self oscillate into a sine wave. This one also does not self oscillate. The sound, however, makes up for that. You get the original notch sweep, and incredible band pass mode at such a low friendly price.

Notes: Module A-188-9 is a so-called high speed VCO that tracks perfectly to the 1V/oct scale in the frequency range of about 15kHz ... 500 kHz. The main application is the exact drive of BBD modules (A-188-1/2) to generate sounds realized by means of the so-called Karplus-Strong synthesis. But even in cooperation with other modules featuring high speed inputs (e.g. digital noise, delay, frequency divider) the A-188-9 makes sense. In principle the module is made of a precision audio VCO followed by a PLL (phase locked loop) unit that multiplies the frequency of the audio VCO by 32. Thus the module can be used also as an audio VCO as it features the standard waveforms sawtooth, triangle and rectangle with adjustable pulse width.

Controls:
Frq: frequency control (coarse)
CV: attenuator for the frequency control input CV
Fine: frequency control (fine), small control without knob
PW: pulsewidth control for the rectangle output of the audio VCO, in HSVCO mode this control has to be in the range marked "HSVO", small control without knob

Sockets:
1V: frequency control input 1V/oct scale
CV: frequency control input with attenuator CV
socket with rectangle symbol: rectangle output of the audio VCO, the pulse width of this output is adjusted by means of the control PW, output level ~ 7Vpp (~ -3.5V/+3.5V)
socket with sawtooth symbol: sawtooth output of the audio VCO, output level ~ 7Vpp (~ -3.5V ... +3.5V)
socket with triangle symbol: triangle output of the audio VCO, output level ~ 7Vpp (~ -3.5V ... +3.5V)
socket with inverted comb symbol: high speed VCO output, waveform rectangle, output level ~ 5Vpp (~ -2.5V/+2.5V)

Switches:
Range
upper position: audio VCO mode (frequency range of the audio VCO about 15 Hz to 6 kHz, the high speed output is not usable in this mode! )
lower position: High Speed VCO mode (frequency range of the high-speed output about 15 kHz ... 500 kHz, frequency range of the audio VCO about 500 Hz ... 15 kHz), in this mode the audio VCO and the high speed VCO can be used simultaneously

Slew
upper position: medium slew time
centre position: short slew time
lower position: long slew time
Technical Note regarding the Slew parameter:

Besides the audio VCO the module contains a so-called PLL circuit (Phase Locked Loop) and a 1:32 frequency divider. A slew limiter is part of the PLL. It defines how fast the frequency of the PLL follows the frequency of the VCO. The PLL cannot follow the VCO without any delay. Rather one has to find a compromise between the residual ripple of the PLL frequency and the frequency follow rate. That is the job of the slew limiter (works in principle like a glide or portamento unit). For this the module is equipped with a 3-position switch that is used to switch the slew time in 3 ranges. When mostly higher frequencies are used ((~ 100kHz ... 500 kHz) a short slew time can be chosen. When also lower frequencies are required (< 100kHz) a longer slew time may be used to reduce the residual frequency ripple. More details about the working principle of a PLL can be found in the information about module A-196. Module A-188-9 is in principle an A-196 combined with an audio VCO and a 1:32 frequency divider.

Notes: 8 channels of audio or modulation over ethernet. There are two modules and a 3' CAT7e cable to connect them together. There are 8 total channels that are unbuffered and bi-directional. The primary usage is to connect two cases or just send a bundle of signals from one part of your larger case to another. You also get the option of buffering up to four channels on each side. This gives you a local copy of the signal and sends buffered copy to the other module, saving you from having to use a MULT to keep a local copy.

Some notes:

When one side of the Light Rail is in buffered mode, you cannot send signals from the opposite side on those 4 buffered channels (the other 4 channels can still be used in bi-directional mode)

If you are after a different longer/shorter cable, you will get the best performance with CAT7e as it offers the shielding, which is used for the ground.

While the cross channel bleed is minimal, you will notice some very minor cross talk between the channels.

Notes: Remote extension module that allows to connect 16 signals (audio, CV, gate or whatever) between large or spread-out cases.

To avoid bleeding, signals are isolated with a ground line between them (both in the ribbon cable and the printed circuit).

The bundle consists in two XT modules and two ribbon cables (1, 1.5 or 2 meters depending on the option selected).

This is a passive module, it does not draw any current.

Notes: Add-on for the Krait module.

Ewa was created as a lovely partner for the Krait module, a syncable 3-channel modulation source. Paired with Ewa, Krait will get new useful abilities, such as 3 freely routable cv inputs, endless encoder for smooth editing without value jumps, dedicated clock menu button and clock and reset outputs.

Each CV input can be used to record external cv source in Record mode. Beside that you can route any input to any parameter of the LFO and Random too. With Ewa now it is easy to modulate LFO rate or Random slew for example. CV inputs are bipolar and react to the signals between -5 +5 voltages.

Additionally a dedicated clock menu button and clock output can make Krait as a clock source for other modules in your system that need sync.

Notes: Bad Comrade V3 Eurorack Modular Device

(Glitch, Pitch, Slice, and Dice)

The Bad Comrade is a powerful glitch, delay, and chaotic distortion tool, packed in a tiny 4hp module. Freeze wrecked blips and oscillations in place, create scrambled gated delays, and straight-up over-the-top distortion, all mixed to taste with the original signal. CV available for mix and delay time.

Designed and assembled in Seattle, Washington. Includes a limited 1-year warranty, if registered within 30 days of purchase.

4hp, 30mm deep. 20ma current draw.

Notes: Rack power bringing 2.5A (2500mA) on both the +12V and -12V rails. There is a 5V rail, but it pulls from the +12V rail, up to 750mA. So only use the +5V rail if you have to.

Comes with 12-position flying bus cable and wall power supply. The wall power supply is the same unit as After Later Audio use on their cases, so there's plenty of headroom and you don't have to worry about memorizing which amperage is for which.

This should be roughly enough for 2 rows of modules in a 104hp case. If you just need power for 1 row, check out our Warp Drive module.

Notes: After Later's first ladder filter is in stereo. You'll get HP, BP. LP2, and LP4 outputs for each side. Please read below on the HP and BP outputs, as they are a bit temperamental.

Along with all of the great traditional sounds of a ladder filter, After Later have added a bias knob which starves ladder transistors of bias current. This can create some fun detuning, glitchy, and warbly sounds. It is recommended that you turn the resonance up slightly in order for it to sound best. Turning the bias will mess with the cutoff frequency and resonance settings so it takes some knob tweaking to master it. There is decent volt/octave tracking for about 3 octaves.

The HP and BP are possible due to pole mixing. When combined with the level control and the resonance it can lead to some atypical behaviours. When keeping the resonance low, and you'll need to manage the level control to get a typical HP and BP responses.

Notes: Easily connect your modular system to the rest of your setup with Out, a compact 2HP stereo line output and headphone module. Despite its small size, it includes everything you need for clear, convenient listening.

The top section features stereo modular-level inputs with LED indicators for quick level monitoring. From there, the signal is routed to both a stereo line output and a dedicated headphone jack, each with independent volume control. Whether you're sending your modular through external effects, recording into an interface, or just monitoring with headphones, Out keeps things simple and efficient.

Notes: ADDAC200RM allows a simple and straight forward way to monitor the voltage of your system. A 0.1% precision analogue voltage meter shows the status of both +12V and -12V rail.

Eurorack +/-12V power rails

Although we all refer to Eurorack PSU voltages as +12V and -12V this is hardly ever the case, although most systems operate at close proximity to this ideal reference, there are situations where the drop from the ideal voltage is large enough to influence the performance of your system.

PSU current ratings

Running a PSU too close to its limits will always cause more stress to the PSU, a good practice it to use only about 75% of your PSU maximum ratings, this will greatly extend the PSU life.

PSUs will show a small voltage drop as current increases which will drastically increase when pushed closed to it's limits. Heat will also influence this drop, heat is related to the current drawn, as more current is being drawn more heat will build up on the PSU, heat conditions will reduce the maxi- mum amount of current that can be delivered by the PSU. While the current consumption drop is somewhat stable and immediate (as you turn the frame on the current consumption will stabilize in a few seconds) the heat drop will take some time to occur, heat will build up over time until it stabilizes and only if it has "headroom" to stabilize. If heat dissipation is not effective than the drop will continue until it reaches a balance point which can be several volts below the 12V reference. At this point your PSU will be under great stress and the heat generated is prone to leave some permanent scars.

Heat will start to have an impact at about an ambient temperature of 50 degrees celsius, at 70 degrees the maxi- mum current rating will drop by 50%. If your PSU is rated at 2A maximum and it's running at 70 degrees then it will only be able to deliver 1A maximum.
For the PSU this is a complex balancing act as current influences heat and heat influences the maximum amount of current available which all together influences the voltage drop.

This is why it's so important to keep the PSU load at a sensible level.

PSU protections

Some PSUs feature over voltage, over current and overheating protection and will turn off when the operating conditions trigger any of the protection threshold levels.

At this point it's typical that the PSU will enter a Hiccup mode, where it turns on checks the current conditions and quickly turns off if they haven't changed, leaving it in an intermittent limbo where it powers on and off at some regular frequency.

If the conditions change enough to drop below the protection threshold levels then the PSU will automatically recover and stay on.

PSU stress

Different situations can be responsible for causing stress that can damage the PSU, it's possible to reverse a ribbon power cable enough times or leaving it connected long enough to partly damage the PSU.

Another situation is having a module that due to some partial previous damage may be drawing more current than specified which will not be accounted for when calculating your system current consumption.

Stress can cause permanent damage to the PSU, however some damages can be only partial leaving you with a PSU that no longer features the specs described by the manufacturer but with no apparent misbehaviour. The LED monitors on bus boards will be on, but in reality it will be underperforming at an unknown percentage of the original specs. These situations can be quite hard to debug without the proper tools to evaluate the cause of the problem.

PSU impact on modules

Some modules are more susceptible to PSU changes than others, modules that feature internal regulators will be less susceptible to PSU voltage, modules that use internal +5v, +/-9v, +/-10v regulators will have more tolerance than modules that use the PSU voltages directly like it is for most cases. Also modules that use voltage reverse protection will already have a 0.3v to 0.8v drop inherent to the protection circuit.

While many digital modules can withstand lower voltages some others will be more dependent on the reference voltage and may show strange behaviours.

This module can help preventing all these situations, it won't fix any problem but can help on the day-to-day monitoring of your system and in keeping your PSU in healthy conditions.

Notes: The ComPair is a versatile yet compact and affordable tool to expand your sonic arsenal. Voltage comparison is used to trigger events, reshape and mangle waveforms and realize level-dependent logic functions.

Two sections can be used independently as voltage against manual setting comparison. Additionally, the first section allows voltage against voltage comparison with offset adjustment.

When used globally, the module offers a powerful window comparator with CV-controlled top setting.

The outputs benefit from three triple-position switches, allowing independently settable polarity and muting.

Three LEDs indicate the output logic to keep track of what's happening.

Notes: This is a self contained analogue high hat module. This is a Transistor based VCA design. It is influenced by the DR110 drum machine. The original circuit used 4 oscillators to make the metallic audio sound. I added the original 4 oscillator, and an extra 6 oscillator circuit. The 6 oscillator version is doing a double XOR ringmod (internally). You select that by switch.

The 4 oscillator design sounds more crunchy, where as the 6 XOR circuit sounds more polished with sheen. You can blend in the amount of white noise in the mix labeled 'sizzle'.

Internally, the audio is passing through a few high pass filters, making the output sound very high in frequencies.

The module by itself is not exciting. But in the mix, with other percussion modules, this is your favorite-go-to module. It sits almost perfect in the mix.

There are two triggers. One is for 'Open' sound. The other is for 'close' sound. Both open and close have there own decay knob to adjust the length of the audio tail.

There is a tone control, labeled LPF. Use this to taper off some of the high frequencies.

Instead of adding an 'accent' control. Both triggers have been made to voltage variable. 5V triggering is the normal expected input. So a 3V trigger will sound softer in volume. 10V trigger signals will sound louder.

This module is as simple as it gets, just patch your Arturia Beat Step Pro and use the drum track.

Features

-Both trigger inputs are voltage variable. You can get softer audio, with softer trigger voltage.
-2 voice metallic noise generator
-2 decays (open and close)
-2 Flavors select by switch.
-Normal mode, and Sustain mode, selected by switch.
-frequency adjustment of the internal XOR ringmod.
-classic roland sounding transistor based VCA.

Why get this module over the Shimm module, or other high hats modules?

-Ease of use, ready to go. No sound exploring needed.
-Want the classic transistor based, crunchy sound.
-lower budget
-Sits very well in the drum mix.

Notes: Mutes goes above and beyond basic muting by allowing you to split groups of signals to multiple destinations, making it great for FX dub performing and varied signal routing.

Vactrols on the circuit gives to the switching a pleasing decay for both audio and modulation as well a totally click free muting.

Three-position switch: MOMENTARY signal pass-through (it springs back to the center when released); OFF (or muted) in the center; and ON to the right.

Notes: Shapes is a wide ranging and fully analogue oscillator which can perform duties as both auxilliary VCO* as well as VC-LFO. Shapes can be configured to cycle continuously, or to provide one-shot shaped outputs. When set to one-shot mode, Shapes may be used as an ersatz envelope generator.

Using the Time knob, Shapes can cycle from as low as 8 seconds (whale song) to as high as 19500Hz (bat beeps).

Shapes has 3 simultaneous outputs:

sawtooth (+/-5V, 10Vpp)
ramp (+/-5V, 10Vpp)
triangle (+/-5V, 10Vpp)
Additional waveforms may be derived courtesy of the Shape knob. Anticlockwise from 0 achieves progressively logarithmic sawtooths and ramps, whereas clockwise from 0 achieves progressively exponential sawtooths and ramps. The effect of the Shape knob on the triangle waveform is asymmetric, anticlockwise from 0 achieves progressively logarithmic leading edge, whereas clockwise from 0 achieves progressively exponential falling edge. Progressively exponential triangle waveforms can be achieved using the Time CV knob (set Shape knob to 0) providing there is no jack in the Time CV input socket

Time CV input provides wide ranging control of time. It is possible to dial in something approaching 1V/oct over a limited range, although Shapes has not been designed to perform as an accurately tracking VCO. In the audio range, Shapes comes into its own when used as a 'daughter' VCO to an external 'mother' VCO by patching the 'mother' VCO into Shapes' Gate In input socket - some impressive oscillator sync style effects can be achieved.

Gate In can also be used to initiate waveforms in one-shot mode, where a pulse of any length will cause Shapes to complete one cycle.

*Shapes has not been designed to perform as an accurately tracking audio VCO.

Notes: CONTROL PATH is an all in one voice dynamics module that helps build full voices quickly. It contains two analogue envelopes with velocity cv, and one VCA. In a typical voice patch the left envelope will control a filter and the right envelope will be the voice VCA. Velocity control is provided for each envelope and delay front panel trimmers are used to compensate for any miss match between incoming gate signal and velocity CV timings. Envelope cv outs are 0-5V, Velocity cv ins are 0-5V.

Notes: The insert module allows you to connect stereo effects to your CGM setup, either by inserting them between two points of the internal summing bus or by placing them in parallel, as in a rudimentary stereo send-and-return.

It consists of two couples of outputs and inputs with dedicated gain switches. The first O/I stereo couple is the insert circuit, while the second is the parallel circuit.

The Insert module can be used:

between a group and a master;
between a group and a group;
between a channel and a group;
between a channel and a channel;
between a channel and a master (without a group).
The Insert module ships with two Insert cables compatible with every member of the CGM family, including the discontinued ones.

Flexible placement

The insert can effortlessly sit between every CGM module. Use it between a group and a master as an end-of-chain bus, or between two series of channels of the same group to create a channel subgroup with independent solo-in-place controls.

Stereo insert circuit

This circuit overrides the internal summing bus and allows you to route whatever sum goes into the insert module through your favourite stereo effects.

Stereo parallel circuit

A second out-in circuit remains parallel to the main one, excellent for adding stereo ambiance effects to the main sum.

Gain switches

The outputs and inputs provide three degrees of attenuation and matching amplification to scale the signal to most of the audio equipment out there.

Notes: A ring modulator based on logic chip but with a twist.

Magic Ring will produce sounds ranging from familiar ring mod sounds to complex evolving modulated timbres.

This ring modulator is really magic because it will work with sine, triangle, saw, ramp, etc. waves, but that is not everything.

The real magic is that it will change its timbre (spectral content) depending on the position of the two SHAPE pots and/or by modulating the CV inputs.
