Your Personal Soundscape:
Conversations between Oscillating Tones and Your Mind
Immersive Ambient Generator
4 layers of tone and texture-Drone, Pad, Atmos, and Noise-merge to generate deep resonance and continuous transformation.
Ambient O (zero) is incredibly easy to use. Start by playing a tone from one layer using the note hold function. While listening closely, simply tweak the knobs to modify the tone and add other layers to shape a pleasing sound.
Blendwave Modulation Synthesis
Sonicware conducted extensive research into creating undulating and fluctuating tones for Ambient O, resulting in the development of a new wavetable-based synthesis.
Blendwave Modulation Synthesis combines 6 unique structures with 32 WAVEs featuring complex harmonic transitions, making it easy to create powerful low drones, lush pads, and transparent pizzicatos, perfect for Ambient Music.
4 knobs/8 parameters offer a wide range of tone creation.
A WAVE contains 128 harmonic tables, allowing for diverse tonal changes such as moving from basic waveforms to complex harmonics. The WAVE is represented by a yin-yang icon, with the yin representing moves in the reverse direction through the tables during modulation.
6 Structures - Each structure has a different number of oscillators and modulation circuits. ATMOS 1 applies ring modulation, while ATMOS 2 applies FM modulation.
Noise and Space
The Noise layer includes 8 specially selected nature sounds, offering noise blending, pitch adjustment and modulation to infuse unique spatial characteristics.
Additionally, it allows for up to 8 seconds of stereo sampling from the line input, letting you create personalized textures.
Extensive Effects Section
Ambient O is equipped with 9 types of lush reverb, each offering unique spatial dimensions and brightness settings. You can individually adjust the reverb send and shimmer send (for layering octaves) for each layer.
In addition to the reverb, the Ambient O offers an effect unit with Tape Delay, Reverse Delay, and 4 master effects; Overdrive, Bit/Rate Crush, Tilt EQ, and Stereo Chorus.
Sequence up to 64 steps per pattern.
Random playback of sequence phrases.
Probability of notes sounding can be set from 25 - 100%.
Program notes step by step or record them in real time. Additionally, you can also input notes to specific steps while the sequencer is playing to add variation.
Overwrite notes in real-time with one touch while playing back sequence phrases.
The Parameter Lock function allows you to record knob changes into your patterns. This can be recorded live, or programmed in step by step.

Notes: Logic Pro users, pay close attention. Full channel strip control via one of the most ergonomic, effectively designed options around. Take charge via a 100mm motorised fader, dedicated pan knob and 12 assignable pots.
Supplier's Notes:
The Best Channel Strip Controller for Logic Pro
Panorama CS12 does what no other controller can do: Give full control of all Logic Pro channel strip parameters including plugins. There is nothing vanilla about Panorama CS12. The entire workflow is designed from the ground up, which enables astonishing features, with a workflow never seen on a control surface before.
High Resolution Fader with a Touch of Class!
A 100mm ALPS motorized fader follows the selected mixer channel when you work. With up to 14 bit resolution, you get detailed control with touch sensing enabling automation override and update captures in real time.
Paired with a dedicated pan control, as well as buttons for solo, mute and record arm, you have instant access to all main mixer parameters on the selected channel.
Create Clean Automation, Easy and Fast
Recording automation can get messy with lots of data generated even when a simple fader is needed. Panorama CS12 solves the problem by giving you the option to insert automation points.
Touch the fader, set the value with the fader, and done!
Jump to the next position in the timeline and insert another automation point. Clean, easy and fast.
Complete Insert FX Plugin Control
Panorama CS12 excels at controlling plugins. You can control any plugin without looking at the plugins' UI so you can focus on creating, composing and editing.
Many commonly used plugins are pre-mapped including of course Logic Pro's own. Panorama CS12 dedicates 12 RGB illuminated 360 pots, 4 display buttons and an additional 4 RGB LED buttons to plugin control. Every control can be assigned on multiple pages ensuring as a complete plugin experience, with no parameter left behind.
Via the ControlCore mapping system, it stores all settings in unique files so they can be ported to other computer systems and ensure compatibility with other DAWs in the future.
Any Plugin? ....Really?
Any plugin that presents its parameters for automation in Logic Pro, can be controlled from Panorama CS12. That includes Logic Pro's own plugins and any AU plugin hosted in Logic Pro.
There is no wrapper or plugin host. It just works.
Plugin Slot Selection
CS12 control insert plugins like no controller has ever done before. The 8 plugin slot select buttons are illuminated when plugins are present in the first 8 slots and the top button toggles between slots 1-8/9-16. Press a button and control the insert plugin immediately. Press another button and now control that plugin.
Control Any Parameter NOW
Control any parameter by simply clicking on it. The 100mm ALPS fader immediately jumps to the clicked parameters position and you take over from there. The fader or pan rotary, can be used to control any parameter in the currently selected Logic Pro channel, at any time.
Activate the Select button and the motorized fader now controls any parameter you click. Any mixer channel, instrument or insert effect plugin parameters. Click, control, click control. Super easy.
Plugin Parameter Learn
A plugin quick learn feature enables assignments on the fly. It's as simple as moving a parameter and moving a control to complete assignment. And while you are at it, change the LED colour of the control too.
Nektarine Map Creation
For the ultimate in control mapping, use the included Nektarine application/plugin. Assign parameters to controls using drag and drop, create your page structure and name parameters and pages so they are optimized for CS12. Once saved, plugin maps are picked up by ControlCore for use with CS12.
Precision control at 10x resolution
14 bit control resolution is not limited to the motorized fader. With the Fine button (magnifier icon) enabled each of the 12 pots control at 14 bit resolution. In practice this means you'll be able adjust parameters with the same fine grained values available through your plugins UI or up to 10 x regular control resolution.

Supplier's Notes:
The ultimate toolkit for the modern musician
The Nu:Tekt NTS-2 oscilloscope kit is a DIY multifunctional tool for musicians. Building on a 4-channel oscilloscope - monitoring control voltage (CV) and audio signals alike - NTS-2 also packs a flexible waveform generator, a spectrum analyser, and tuner functionality into a
build-it-yourself device which fits in the palm of your hand!
The NTS-2 kit is compact and easy to assemble with no soldering required, but don't let its size fool you - it packs a real punch!
It's an oscilloscope, tuner, FFT, and spectrum analyser that is accurate, intuitive, and incredibly useful. But that's not all - using its dual stereo IN, dual stereo THRU/OUT, and two separate OUTPUTs, you can wire it into your synth rig and use its dual waveform generators to give yourself an extra pair of oscillators or LFOs!
With dual stereo inputs, you can visualise up to four signals at once, comparing and overlapping them with ease. A variety of display modes let you choose how you see your data, while the user interface is clear and quick, thanks to its dedicated menu buttons and clickable encoder knob, and 240 x 320 pixel 2.8" colour LCD screen. NTS-2 even has a powerful "Lissajous" mode - opening the door to creativity and making it possible to visualise widely available oscilloscope art, for extra fun with your device.
Dual Waveform Generator
A flexible Wave Generator mode provides 2 oscillators with dedicated outputs. Each oscillator can create a variety of waveforms - sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, pulse, and noise - whose shape and phase can be adjusted to suit many applications. These sounds can be used in the audio range or as control voltage sources, and they can be set to cycle continuously or act as one-shot impulses; that means you can turn them into LFOs, envelopes, triggers, and control voltage generators, as well as sound sources. Attaching the NTS-2 to any patchable synthesizer instantly expands its power.
FFT/Spectrum Analyser
NTS-2 also comes with a dedicated FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) mode with a real-time spectrum analyser.
Tuner
This multi-functional utility kit wouldn't be complete without a precise and easy-to-use tuner with multiple display modes.
Powerful connectivity
The NTS-2 offers many ways to connect to your rig. Alongside its 4-channel input and dual waveform output features, its dual stereo THRU/OUT ports enable you to keep it wired into your system, rather than constantly plugging and unplugging cables. NTS-2 lets you maintain your signal flow at all times - even when powered off. NTS-2 maximizes portability and flexibility by using either batteries or a USB-C power supply.

TOUCH SENSITIVE CONTROLLER settings
Behaviour:
- single: 12 key mode
- twin*: 2x6 key mode, the parameters are the same for both sides
- split*: 2x6 key mode, but with separate parameters for both sides (e. g.: you can have an arpeggiator on one side, but a basic keyboard controller on the other side)
* in twin and split modes the pressure output acts as the note CV output, therefore pressure parameters (output, rise and fall) have no effect
Arpeggiator state:
- off: the module acts as a keyboard controller
- on: enables arpeggiator
Arpeggiator hold:
- off: the arpeggiator will play only while the keys are held

Arpeggiator rhythm length: sets the length of the rhythm sequencer. 1 - 8 steps
Portamento: creates slew limiting effect on the CV output, sets the speed of gliding (ie: how much time it takes to transition from one pitch to the next). 0 - 255
Legato:
- off: portamento is always on
- on: gliding happens only when two or more note plates are touched simultaneously (this parameter has no effect when arpeggiator is enabled)
Vibrato speed: sets the speed of the LFO that's modulating the note CV output. 0 - 127
Vibrato depth: sets the modulation amount. 0 - 127

With expanded 6-voice polyphony, 16-step loop sequencer, arpeggiator and built-in effects, the new Volca FM is a DX compatible 6-operator FM synth that is small enough to fit into even the most compact setups.
Notes: Korg's excellent FM synth offers a modern take on those classic 80s digital tones. Second-gen version doubles the number of voices to six, adds new MIDI features and extra effects.
Supplier's Notes:
The next-gen Volca FM is a powerful 6-voice, 6-Operator FM synthesizer with all 32 classic algorithms, a 16-step loop sequencer, effects and a powerful arpeggiator that perfectly reproduces the sound of the classic Yamaha DX7 and is completely compatible with SYS-EX patches for the DX7 as well.
Battery (included) or adapter (optional) operated with built-in speakers and a compact and light chassis, the Volca FM is the ultimate portable FM solution for all musicians.
This new generation - with double the voices of its predecessor, additional effects, expanded MIDI connectivity, and intuitive interface - is poised to bring unprecedented possibilities to your setup, and revolutionize your studio with new musical ideas.
With 6 voices (instead of the 3 of its predecessor) the new Volca FM brings a new world of harmonic possibilities to your production.
Now it is possible to play, sequence or arpeggiate complex chords with up to 6 voices in order to bring a unique flavour to your music production. No more running out of voices when sequencing melody, harmony and bass all in one device!
Moreover, the new Volca FM is now velocity sensitive via MIDI, which coupled with its 6 voice polyphony, provides a much more expressive and nuanced playing experience than ever before.
By popular request, Volca FM includes a lush Reverb effect in addition to the Chorus effect. Each of these two effects can be used and adjusted individually to add the finishing touch to any FM sound you are going for.
In addition to MIDI IN the new Volca FM also includes a MIDI OUT (IN/OUT 3.5 mm TRS), making it possible to use the intuitive Volca internal sequencer to control other devices through MIDI, making it the perfect addition to your standalone setup. Of course, it also works well with your DAW of choice thanks to note, control, and clock receipt via the MIDI IN.
The internal sequencer offers looping up to 16 steps, allowing you to record your performance on the touch panel keyboard as you play. Up to 16 sequence patterns can be stored in the internal memory.
Volca FM also incorporates a motion sequence function to record in real time all the subtle nuances of your playing and knob movements, letting you add time-varying change to the sound. This is a great way to polish your loops, and also lets you generate highly original live performances.
In order to spice things up, the new generation of Volca FM includes a brand new program randomizer, letting you find new inspiration through happy accidents and unexpected patches.
Of course, it still incorporates highly acclaimed functions such as the warp active step, pattern chain and an improved arpeggiator, making it easy to create crazy looping rhythms and patterns.
In addition to the active step function that lets you skip steps during a sequence, the volca fm provides new functions that enable you to generate more irregular rhythms. If the active step is fewer than 16 steps, you can use the warp active step function to compensate so you occupy the same playback time as 16 steps; then by synchronizing the playback with another volca series unit, you can deliberately skew the step timing to generate truly unconventional performances.

Notes: Versatile Sinevibes software power in Eurorack form, the Radiant offers six powerful algorithms: dub delay, pole phaser, chord wrapper, feedback shifter, distortion and re-trigger. Filter, morph between presets and add optional reverb to all algorithms.
Supplier's Notes:
The Radiant, developed in collaboration with Sinevibes, is a powerful and highly creative multi-effect processor designed to bring unique and dynamic sound-shaping capabilities to modular synthesis setups.
Multi-Effect Processor with Six Selectable Core Algorithms
Radiant offers a versatile collection of six distinct core algorithms, designed to be both familiar and experimental:
Dub Delay
Pole Phaser
Chord Wrapper
Feedback Shifter
Distortion
Re-Trigger
These algorithms contribute to a wide range of sonic possibilitiesifrom ambient soundscapes and subtle modulations to complex, evolving textures and otherworldly effects.
Morphing Between Presets
One of Radiant's standout features is its ability to morph between presets. This allows for seamless transitions between different effect states, creating evolving and dynamic sounds. The morphing feature makes it ideal for live performances, as users can shift smoothly between various sonic textures.
Three-Band Filter
Radiant includes an onboard three-band filter that lets users shape their sound by adjusting the low, mid, and high frequencies. This is particularly useful for fine-tuning the effects or isolating specific frequency ranges for more controlled sound sculpting.
Reverb and Sound Reverse
In addition to the core algorithms, Radiant provides a built-in reverb, adding space and depth to the sound. The sound reverse function allows for experimental sound manipulation by reversing the audio signal, creating eerie, backward effects that can be synced to the external clock.
Preset System and Save Function
Radiant features a straightforward preset system that allows users to save and recall different effect configurations across 3 available slots. These presets can be morphed in real-time, offering expanded creative possibilities.
User-Friendly Interface
Despite its complex capabilities, Radiant is designed with a simple and intuitive user interface. The module offers easy-to-use controls, allowing for quick adjustments and real-time tweaking of effects. This makes it accessible for both experienced modular users and those new to modular synthesis, providing a powerful yet approachable tool for creative sound design.
Notes: A spin-off from the brilliantly experimental Strega synth, the Bruxa module offers a different type of 'Time/Filter Experiment' designed to warp and twist sounds from other modules. Excellent creative stuff.
Supplier's Notes:
Check Make Noise's website for content and pictures!
The Bruxa music synthesiser module is an audio alchemical experiment. Spill your sound into time, and let it decay through the filters to hear the results.
Bruxa is a collaboration between Make Noise and Alessandro Cortini. Inspired by Cortini's music and sonic experimentations, Bruxa embodies the seen and unseen, the sign and magic, the alchemy of sound. It is a new evolution of Tony and Alessandro's original prototype circuits which eventually became the Strega's Time/Filter Experiment. It is a multi-tap delay line with over a dozen unique feedback paths and multiple filters within those feedback paths aligned to allow for accumulation of noise, saturation and signal degradation.
While Strega is a complete synthesiser in a tabletop form factor, Bruxa is a Eurorack module designed to be used as one part of a Eurorack modular synthesiser. You will discover a number of differences in layout, signals, and sound. Living inside the Eurorack modular system, Bruxa encourages you to patch your own sound and modulation sources, yielding results surprisingly distinct from Strega.
Echoverb signal processor which shares origins with Strega
Well tuned to work nicely in a Eurorack modular system
All analogue dry signal path blended with digital/ analogue hybrid signal processor
Analog CV inputs with wide range capable of audio rate modulation
Time control with massive, smoothly variable range
Linear FM input with attenuator allows for fluttering of Time
Absorb and Filter controls dramatically shape the echo tone and reflections
New unique CV outputs for use in self-patching or mutual patching with other modules
Pairs well with DPO, STO, MATHS, Prss Pnt, modDemix and more!

Notes: Buzz. Beep and bloop. Get high on the lo-fi sounds of "old-school" games, toys and terminals!
The Mainframe provides sample rate reduction ranging from 48kHz to 110Hz. A little background... the sample rate is the number of times per second that a sample or snapshot of an analogue signal is taken. For example, CDs (remember them?) had a sample rate of 44.1kHz which means that the original analogue signal is sampled 44,100 times per second.
The sample rate defines the frequency range that can be reproduced while maintaining good fidelity. When the sample rate is reduced the quality of the audio is degraded and aliasing occurs. Aliasing means audible artifacts created when higher frequencies are sampled at an inadequate rate and the result is distortion. The Mainframe's sample rate range is wide enough to take you from sounds that are quite pristine to sounds that are unrecognizable when compared to the input signal.
It also provides bit crushing ranging from 24-bit to 1-bit. What does that mean? Bit crushing is bit depth reduction. Back to the CD example... CDs used a 16-bit bit depth meaning that each of its samples was represented by 16-bits of information. Higher bit depths can accurately represent a greater dynamic range while bit crushing increases the number of sampling errors and creatively degrades the sound to bring us back to those nasty "old school" sounds we love.
The Mainframe's selectable High/Low/Band-Pass filter lets the user shape the artifacts of the bit crushing and sample rate. Another very cool feature is its Sample Rate Tuning Mode where the pedal analyses your input signal in real-time and sets the sample rate to match the pitch of your signal, or a set interval above your signal. This allows you to set the sample rate to match the key of a song, or it will continually adjust the sample rate based on what you play!"

MPC Live II Beatclub Edition
MPC Live II Timbaland Edition
Notes: Tracing the footsteps of its bigger brother, Iridium features all the synthesis elements of Quantum as well in a rack-compatible format. The combination of the powerful engine, incredible flexibility and detailed sound shaping facilities creates sheer endless possibilities of sound. Yet, the comprehensive layout and easy-to-understand structure lets you design your own sounds in no time. Sporting a solid metal casing and the same high level of craftsmanship like Quantum, Iridium is now ready to take over studios and stages throughout the world.
Contributing another entry in Waldorf's rich history, Iridium joins the family as a direct descendant of the PPG Wave. Though, Iridium offers much more than its ancestor. Five different synthesis models are provided by Iridium for each of the three oscillators:
Kernel mode has been introduced with the OS 2.0 of Quantum. This huge upgrade allows one oscillator to be turned into up to six sub oscillators. These can be interlinked through FM at audio rate and arranged in user-definable constellations. Just this upgrade alone would have provided enough additional features to create a synthesizer on its own. Now, all those functions have been integrated into Iridium as well.
Up to 7000 patches can be saved in Iridium. Patches from Quantum can be loaded in Iridium and vice-versa.
Iridium features three digital filters per voice. Two in the Dual Filter section and another one in the Digital Former. Several types are available to choose from:
12 or 24dB and Lowpass/Highpass/Bandpass with optional saturation or dirtiness.
Various filter models are available including those from Waldorf Nave, Largo and PPG 3V.
The Dual Filter section can be controlled independently or together in several different link modes.
The Digital Former offers all the filter types and models from the Dual Filter plus unusual models like Comb, Drive, Bitcrusher and more in addition.
All filters retain a true stereo signal throughout the entire structure of the instrument.
Up and down, back and forth
6 Envelopes, 6 LFOs and many more are just waiting for being used as sources in the 40 slots of the Modulation Matrix. Each slot has one additional control amount. Modulations can be directed to almost every numerical value in Iridium. All sources and destinations can be used as many times as desired until the Modulation Matrix is full. If you ever happen to run out of LFOs or Envelopes, you can use the Komplex Modulator for generating a custom shape LFO or Envelope.
Even though Iridium features a staggering amount of parameters to control, everything is organized in a logic structure which is easy to master. The major controls have their own dedicated knob, while the rest is accessible through the touch screen and the encoders around. There are no long menus keeping you from doing what you had planned. Instead, you will find a workflow which you will soon miss on other synthesizers.
Embedded in the front panel, a 4x4 silicon pad matrix invites you to launch notes, chords, arpeggios and sequences with up to 32 steps for notes and multiple parameter lines. Direct access to the parameters is granted by the seven encoders to the left and the right hand side of the touch screen.
Iridium's large color touch screen keeps you informed at all times. Upon moving a knob, Iridium gives you an optical feedback of your changes in real-time. Filter curves move, Particle grain sizes change, Envelopes warp and much more:
Komplex Modulator curves can be drawn with your finger
Envelopes show at which point the voices currently are
Wavetables are displayed in comprehensive view modes
VU meters show which voices are used and the individual voice levels
Different Analyzers show the audio signal at different points
Two Audio Outputs allow you to listen to Iridium, while two Inputs allow Iridium to process external signals. 4 CV inputs plus Gate In and Trigger In are ready to forward external signals to the Mod Matrix. Furthermore, Clock In and Clock Out will get your gear in sync. MIDI connections can be made through USB and DIN MIDI. Iridium is also equipped with a USB Host port for MIDI devices. This port also handles data exchange, in addition to the MicroSD card slot.
Once again, Waldorf have underlined their status with a new and exciting synthesizer.
Notes: Well on its way to becoming a cult favourite already, Empress's Zoia brings modular synthesis to a compact pedal format. Create effects, synths, controllers or modules to integrate with other instruments.
Supplier's Notes:
The ZOIA is basically a modular synthesizer in pedal form. Instead of being a delay effect or tremolo, the ZOIA provides the modules necessary to build a delay or tremolo from the ground up. But since you're the one building it, you can make it do whatever you want. With the ZOIA you can build your own custom effects, synthesizers, midi controllers, and virtual pedal boards. And to make life a little easier, these modules have been created for all your standard guitar effects. So for instance, if you want a phaser, you can just plop down a phaser. You don't have to break out the textbooks to learn that they're built out of all-pass filters. (Of course, if you're a nerd like us, you can use the ZOIA to build them out of all-pass filters).
Notes: Row Power is a clean, regulated, and protected power solution for Eurorack systems. Row Power 45 provides enough power for two to three typical Eurorack rows (typically up to about 312HP):
+12V @ 2.0A maximum, 1.5A recommended
-12V @ 1.4A maximum, 1.2A recommended
+5V @ 1.5A maximum, 1.2A recommended
Simply plug a universal power supply (laptop style) into either of the barrel plugs on the 4HP panel. Connect your modules via flying bus cables or the Bus Stick. For custom power systems, the Row Power 45 has a set of easily soldered holes for using large gauge wire or MTA156 connectors to connect to distribution bus boards.
Multiple Row Power modules can be powered from a single power brick by daisy-chaining with an inexpensive barrel cable. The Row Power 45 can also be daisy-chained to 4ms Company's Pod enclosures. Each power supply is independently regulated and protected for ultra-low cross-talk between rows/pods.
The Row Power 45 is compatible with the 4ms Row Power Shield. This device (sold separately) attaches to the back of the Row Power 45 and monitors the amount of current being drawn, as well as the voltages of the power rails. The information is sent over Bluetooth to be displayed on a phone or tablet.

Compressor, versatile distortion generator and smooth low-pass filter
Notes: BOUM is a full analog stereo warming unit, combining an easy-to-use compressor, a versatile distortion generator and a smooth low-pass filter. BOUM is the perfect tool when you need to add warmth, thickness, and character to your sounds, but also apply severe distortion and extreme compression treatments.
BOUM is based on an original and unique circuit, including the following stages :
INPUT GAIN : boost your signal up to +18db to adapt BOUM to various signal levels, and also improve the distortion content and the compression sensitivity.
COMPRESSOR : with a single knob, control the 3 essential parameters of a compressor, threshold, ratio and makeup gain, without thinking about how a compressor works ! The ratio ranges from 1:1 (no compression) to inf. :1 (limiter), but also negative compression up to 1: -1 !
6 different Attack and release times are available for fine tuning.
LO CUT FILTER : attenuate the distortion content of the bass frequencies with this 6 dB/Octave lo cut filter, making your distorted sound easier to mix with the original one.
DISTORTION GENERATOR : choose one of the 4 different distortion circuits :
BOOST : soft clipping amplifier, perfect for subtle harmonic enhancement.
TUBE : asymmetrical tube distortion emulator based on MOSFET technology. Generate mostly a second harmonic distortion.
FUZZ : symmetrical hard clipping amplifier, similar to an overdriven mixer preamp.
SQUARE : pure square wave generator based on a comparator. The ultimate fuzz !
HI CUT FILTER : soften the high frequencies with this smooth and musical 12 db / octave low pass filter.
NOISE GATE : remove the noise coming from the different treatments, or use it for interesting chopping effects.
All these analog effects are packaged in a compact format, with 36 user presets and full MIDI control.
BOUM will give you a wide range of compression, distortion and filtering effects, ranging from subtle harmonic enhancement to an insane square distortion, and everything in between!
Dual crossfader module for voltage controlled morphing between two audio or CV signals
Notes: Module A-134-2 contains two identical voltage controlled crossfader units.
Each unit has two voltage controlled amplifiers (VCAs) with opposite control behaviour available. The outputs of the two VCAs are mixed together to obtain a common output. The behaviour of the control voltage inputs can be chosen with an internal jumper:
Symmetrical mode: If the corresponding jumper is not set both VCAs of the crossfader have the same 50% amplification with zero CV. If the applied CV becomes positive the amplification of VCA1 decreases and those of VCA2 increases in the same way. A negative CV has the opposite result. The CV voltage range to obtain the maximum/minimum positions of the crossfader is about -2.5....+2.5V. This mode is useful for bidirectional (i.e. positive and negative) control voltages, for example LFO or joy stick (adjusted to 0V CV in centre position).
Asymmetrical mode: If the corresponding jumper is set VCA2 is fully closed and VCA1 has full 100% amplification with zero CV. If the applied CV becomes positive the amplification of VCA1 decreases and those of VCA2 increases in the same way. The CV voltage range to obtain the maximum/minimum positions of the crossfader is about 0...+5V. A negative CV has no function in this mode. This mode is useful for unidirectional (i.e. only positive) control voltages, for example ADSR, ribbon controller or Theremin control voltage.
The CV input of the upper unit (CV1) is normalled to the CV input of the lower unit (CV2). I.e. if no plug is inserted to CV2 the CV input of the upper unit (CV1) also controls the lower unit.
The second signal input of the upper unit (In1B) is normalled to the first signal input of the lower unit (In2A). I.e. if no plug is inserted into In2A the signal In1B is used as the first signal input of the second unit.
As the inputs and outputs are DC coupled the module can be used for both audio and control voltage signal processing.
