Acid Rain Technology Switchblade
3-channel CV/audio switch, mixer, and mute in 4HP
4 HP Eurorack module
Switchblade is a compact 3-channel utility module that combines switching, mixing, and muting into a single 4HP panel. Each of the three identical channels has two DC-coupled inputs (A and B), a trigger/gate input, and one output. Channels can independently operate in switch mode (routing one of two inputs to the output), mix mode (summing both inputs at unity gain), or momentary mode (gate-controlled switching). All channels share a global momentary mode toggle activated by a three-button combo. Designed for live performance, each channel can be controlled via its front-panel button or externally via triggers and gates.
Features
- 3 independent channels of CV/audio switching and mixing
- Each channel switches between two inputs or sums them at unity gain
- Per-channel switch mode and mix mode selectable via long button press
- Global momentary mode activated by holding all 3 buttons simultaneously
- External trigger/gate control per channel for automated switching
- Trigger input toggles state in latching mode
- Gate input provides momentary control in momentary mode
- Multi-color LED per channel shows operational state
- DC-coupled signal path handles both CV and audio signals
- Unity gain mixing preserves signal levels
- All-analog signal path for clean switching
- 4HP width ideal for tight rack layouts
