XAOC Devices Lipsk

8-bit binary bit inversion commander for radical waveform mangling

6 HP Eurorack module

Lipsk is a binary logic expander module for the Xaoc Devices Drezno system, designed to invert individual bits of an 8-bit digital signal representation. It sits between Drezno's ADC and DAC sections, allowing manual or CV-controlled bit flipping to create radical waveform transformations, frequency multiplication effects, and unconventional signal processing impossible in the analog domain.

Features

  • 8-bit binary bit inversion of digital signal representation from Drezno or other Leibniz subsystem modules
  • Manual bit inversion via eight illuminated buttons (one per bit, bits 0–7)
  • CV gate-controlled bit inversion via eight gate input sockets
  • Combined manual and gate inversion with double-inversion (no inversion) behavior when both active
  • Hardware-based bit processing logic with virtually no latency
  • Operates at extreme rates suitable for audio-rate binary manipulation
  • 10-pin interconnector cable connection to Drezno and subsequent expanders
  • Receives 8-bit data via IN header on back PCB, delivers processed code to OUT header
  • Chainable in Leibniz subsystem expander loop (in-out)
  • Individual bit outputs for each of the 8 bits
  • LEDs show combined effect of both manual and gate actions
  • 6hp, skiff friendly
