After Later Audio BLEND

A CV/Audio Mixer with Dual VCA

6 HP Eurorack module

BLEND combines two attenuverted CV channels, a CV mixer, and two VCAs with a mix output.

Features

  • Two CV sections each provide an input normalled to +5 V, an attenuverter, and an output.
  • The CV mixer derives minimum, maximum, comparator, and sum outputs from the two CV-section outputs.
  • Remember: minimum and maximum outputs are not precision measurements and can be within two diode drops of the actual minimum or maximum voltage.
  • Two VCA sections provide individual outputs and a mix output; each VCA CV input is normalled to a CV-section output.
  • The LM13700-based VCAs slightly color the sound and have a nearly linear response with a slight exponential curve.

Controls & Jacks (17)

  • CV 2 Input— CV input for channel 2, normalled to +5 V when unpatched.
  • Maximum Output— Outputs the maximum of the two CV-channel output voltages, within approximately two diode drops of the actual maximum.
  • Minimum Output— Outputs the minimum of the two CV-channel output voltages, within approximately two diode drops of the actual minimum.
  • CV 2 Attenuverter— Sets the attenuation and polarity of CV channel 2.
  • CV 2 Output— Attenuverted CV output for channel 2.
  • CV 1 Output— Attenuverted CV output for channel 1.
  • VCA Mix Output— Mix output of the two VCA sections.
  • CV 1 Input— CV input for channel 1, normalled to +5 V when unpatched.
  • VCA 1 Output— Output of VCA 1.
  • VCA 1 CV Input— Control-voltage input for VCA 1, normalled to CV channel 1's output.
  • VCA 2 Output— Output of VCA 2.
  • CV Sum Output— Sum output of the two CV-channel outputs.
  • VCA 2 Signal Input— Signal input for VCA 2.
  • VCA 1 Signal Input— Signal input for VCA 1.
  • VCA 2 CV Input— Control-voltage input for VCA 2, normalled to CV channel 2's output.
  • CV 1 Attenuverter— Sets the attenuation and polarity of CV channel 1.
  • Comparator Output— Comparator output derived from the two CV-channel outputs, at 4.5 V level.
