Make Noise X-Pan
Voltage-controlled stereo crossfader and panoramic mixer
10 HP Eurorack module
The Make Noise X-PAN is a 100% analog stereo mixing and panning module featuring two voltage-controlled crossfader/panorama channels and a stereo auxiliary VCA channel, all summed to stereo outputs. It bridges mono and stereo modular worlds, allowing dynamic CV-controlled placement of signals in the stereo field with musical expressiveness and precision.
Features
- Two full-featured voltage-controlled crossfader and panorama channels
- Stereo auxiliary input channel with linear stereo VCA and combo pot
- All three channels summed to stereo Left and Right outputs
- DC-coupled inputs and outputs for control voltage processing
- Un-attenuated CV inputs for crossfade and pan with 0V to 8V range
- Aux VCA CV input normalized to +8V for use as manual level control
- L(Mono) input normalization: mono signal sent to both L and R outputs when R input unpatched
- Crossfader can function as a VCA when one input is left unpatched
- Fully voltage-controllable crossfade, pan, and stereo VCA parameters
- 10HP Eurorack format, 100% analog signal processing
