DPW Design Switch SW-1
Quad bidirectional switch
8 HP Eurorack module
SW-1 is a four-channel Eurorack bidirectional switch with manual or CV control.
Features
- Four independent bidirectional switches with manual or CV control.
- Channels 1–2 and Channels 3–4 can be latched as pairs for stereo-bus switching.
- CV control operates well above 100 kHz, supporting audio-rate wave splicing and signal-chain switching.
- Remember: when connecting other equipment, limit current through the switch below 30 mA to prevent damage to the switching components.
Controls & Jacks (22)
- Channels 3–4 Latch— Enables latching for Channels 3 and 4, making their LED-switches toggle and causing CV control to toggle on each positive CV edge.
- Channel 4 Select— Illuminated manual selector for Channel 4; with latch off it is momentary and selects the Red connection while held.
- Channel 3 Common— Bidirectional common connection for Channel 3; connected to Green when the switch is inactive and Red when active.
- Channels 1–2 Latch— Enables latching for Channels 1 and 2, making their LED-switches toggle and causing CV control to toggle on each positive CV edge.
- Channel 3 CV Input— Gate/CV control input for Channel 3; a high signal selects the Red connection.
- Channel 1 CV Input— Gate/CV control input for Channel 1; a high signal selects the Red connection.
- Channel 1 Common— Bidirectional common connection for Channel 1; connected to Green when the switch is inactive and Red when active.
- Channel 2 Green— Bidirectional Green connection for Channel 2; connected to the common jack while the switch is inactive.
- Channel 2 Select— Illuminated manual selector for Channel 2; with latch off it is momentary and selects the Red connection while held.
