Worng Electronics SoundStage
Spectral stereo mixer that mixes itself
14 HP Eurorack module
SoundStage is a stereo spectral mixer for Eurorack that automatically places voices in both the stereo field and frequency spectrum based on their physical input position on the panel. It combines 21 inputs, 20 resonant analogue filters across five frequency bands, fixed positional panning, and a voltage-controllable output stage to deliver a naturally mixed stereo image straight from the patch. Its musical character is organic and mix-ready, inspired by professional sound engineering techniques and the voice filters of the E-Mu SP1200.
Features
- 21 audio inputs across five frequency band rows: High, High Mid, Mid, Low Mid, Low
- 20 resonant analogue filters: stereo HPF pair and stereo LPF pair per frequency band row
- Fixed positional panning determined by left-to-right input position on panel
- No hard panning — all inputs placed slightly between speakers for natural soundscape
- Upper rows (High) have widest panning; lower rows (Low) are panned more centrally
- Equal power panning to maintain consistent apparent level across stereo field
- Five frequency band rows: High (cymbals), High Mid (lead), Mid (pads), Low Mid (bassline), Low (kick)
- Mid to High rows have five inputs each; Low Mid and Low rows have three inputs each
- Filter Depth control blends between unfiltered (CCW) and filtered (CW) signals via VCAs
- Filter Depth CV input with attenuverting control for voltage-controlled spectral depth
- Output Level control is bias control of stereo VCA for master level trim
- Level CV input with attenuverting control for voltage-controlled output level
