Mannequins Cold Mac

Patch surveillance utility with macro control

8 HP Eurorack module

Cold Mac is a multi-function utility module offering crossfading, analog logic, wave shaping, and envelope following in 8HP. Its unique 'patch surveillance' design uses a single Survey control to simultaneously modulate multiple processing circuits, creating complex macro-control possibilities.

Features

  • 8 processing circuits in 8HP
  • Survey macro control
  • Extensive normalization network
  • Patch surveillance design
  • Audio and CV processing
  • Self-patching capabilities

Controls & Jacks (21)

  • AND Output— AND logic output
  • SLOPE— Input signal for the Slope integrator/differentiator channel. Normaled to SURVEY.
  • OR Output— OR logic output
  • LEFT— Input signal for left channel of crossfading/panning circuit
  • FADE Output— Crossfade output
  • AND 1— First input for the AND minimum/logic channel. Normaled to SURVEY.
  • FADE— Control voltage for crossfading/panning, normaled to SURVEY
  • IF Input— Conditional routing input
  • RIGHT— Input signal for right channel of crossfading/panning circuit
  • CREASE Output— Crease/wavefolder output
  • CREASE— Input signal for the Crease wavefolder channel. Normaled to SURVEY.
  • SLOPE Output— Slope/integrator output
  • COLD MAC— Central macro knob. Generates +/-5V (0V at noon) that normaled to all six processing channels, simultaneously crossfading, folding, and shap
  • FOLLOW— Envelope follower output derived from the LEFT input signal. Outputs a smoothed amplitude envelope.
  • AND 2— Second input for the AND minimum/logic channel.
  • OR 1— First input for the OR maximum/logic channel. Normaled to SURVEY.
  • OFFSET— CV summed with both LEFT(OUT) and RIGHT(OUT)
  • OR 2— Second input for the OR maximum/logic channel.
  • ~LOCATION— Inverted SURVEY output. Outputs the opposite voltage of the SURVEY knob/CV, useful for contra-motion crossfades.
  • SURVEY— Generates ±5v voltage with 0v at noon, can be modulated by CV input
  • MAC— CV input that overrides the SURVEY knob position. Allows external voltage control of the central macro parameter.
