The Eurorack modular synth format is one of the most exciting areas of music technology. Pioneered by Doepfer, there are now hundreds of brands offering compatible modules of all varieties. You can combine your choice of the best oscillators, filters and much more in order to create a unique, bespoke synth setup which perfectly suits your needs.
Eurorack modules offer the biggest range of options you can imagine, from basic analogue modules which replicate the sound of classic vintage synths, through to digital modules which allow you to explore completely new approaches to making music.
Whether you’re a beginner or a more experienced modular head, you can take your pick of the best modules from leading brands including Mutable Instruments and ALM Busy Circuits.
Our range also includes accessories, cases, patch cables and much more, allowing you to build and customise your perfect modular synth setup.
Mixer and CV/clock-controlled switcher module - 8HP.
Notes: Mixer & CV/clock-controlled Switcher
Focused versatility seems an oxymoron when describing the features that led to the design of the Mixwitch.
With only a pinch of mixing, inverting and controlled switching, Klavis Electronics brew up a plethora of combinations and uses.
This is voltage processing magic!
The Mixwitch design comes from a frustration with attenuvertors (bipolar attenuators-inverters) whose off (neutral) position is difficult to retrieve, especially in live situations.
Klavis went for a digitally-controlled analogue path where polarity inversion would be at the touch of a button. So, the usefulness of attenuating/inverting can be realized by turning the pot down, swiftly pressing the inversion button and reopening the level. The zero level is where you expect it, with the pot full down.
Once a clean polarity control was established, a mute function was added, offering the benefit of pre-adjusted pot settings ready to be activated at will.
The next step was to bring something extra, useful and creative. There are plenty of analogue switches controlled by a clock; but arbitrarily selecting an input with a voltage is less known. Having both control capabilities combined with Klavis' specific mixer features creates a unique fusion: welcome to the Mixwitch!
CV-controlled voltage mapper & waveshaper module - 6HP.
Notes: The Flexshaper is a highly versatile module when it comes to modify evolving voltages in other directions and levels.
Five settings allow you to fold/expand/clip/compress/invert partially or completely any CV or audio signal.
The module can act as an envelope-shaping tool, frequency multiplier, waveshaper, clipper, distortion, limiter, curve changer, and more.
Five CV inputs offer limitless control over the placement of the voltage points for dynamic signal sculpting.
Birth of the product
The idea of the Flexshaper comes from a feature in the Oberheimr Matrix synthesizers called Tracking Generator.
This signal processor was part of the modulation matrix and meant to be virtually inserted between modulation sources and destinations in order to change the shape of the controlling signal.
The Flexshaper applies the same concept using the same 5 shaping points. However, it goes beyond Oberheim's implementation on two main aspects:
It goes fast enough to process signals at full audio rate
The 5 points are dynamically adjustable (CV) in real-time
Besides, the Flexshaper can process adequately bipolar and unipolar Eurorack signals, even changing them one another.
