Frap Tools

A three-section multi-purpose utility module for high-quality audio and CV processing, capable of scaling, inverting, and adding positive or negative offsets to signals, with two summing outputs and DC-coupled circuitry.884

Capabilities 4

Attenuatorattenuator
Each of the three sections includes a DC-coupled amplifier for attenuation or amplification of audio and CV up to 6dB.884
Mixermixer
Two summing bus outputs with selectable -6dB attenuation; one bus sums all sections, the other sums only sections not using their individual outputs.884
Offsetoffset
Each section has an offset control that adds or subtracts DC offset; doubles as a DC voltage source when no signal is patched.884
Signal Invertersignal-inverter
Each section has a polarity/phase inversion switch, enabling inversion of CV or audio phase.884

Jacks 8 (3 in / 5 out)

Sum All OUTmixedSums all three sections including offsets, regardless of whether individual section outputs are patched.884
Unpatched Sum OUTmixedSums only sections whose individual output jack is not patched; patching a dummy cable to a section output removes it from this sum.884

Parameters 14

NameTypeRangeBehavior
CH1 Invert SwitchswitchFlips the phase of an audio signal or inverts the polarity of a CV. Combined with the level attenuator, allows precise zeroing of the channel output.884
CH1 Levelmenu_settingAttenuates or amplifies the channel signal; DC-coupled so it works on both audio and CV. Gain up to 6dB (doubling the signal level).884
CH1 OffsetknobAdds or subtracts a DC offset to the section's signal; can convert unipolar to bipolar signals. When no input is patched, outputs a positive or negative steady DC voltage.884
CH1 Offset Enable SwitchswitchDisables the offset section entirely for more transparent signal processing.884
CH2 Invert SwitchswitchFlips the phase of an audio signal or inverts the polarity of a CV. Combined with the level attenuator, allows precise zeroing of the channel output.884
CH2 Levelmenu_settingAttenuates or amplifies the channel signal; DC-coupled so it works on both audio and CV. Gain up to 6dB (doubling the signal level).884
CH2 OffsetknobAdds or subtracts a DC offset to the section's signal; can convert unipolar to bipolar signals. When no input is patched, outputs a positive or negative steady DC voltage.884
CH2 Offset Enable SwitchswitchDisables the offset section entirely for more transparent signal processing.884
CH3 Invert SwitchswitchFlips the phase of an audio signal or inverts the polarity of a CV. Combined with the level attenuator, allows precise zeroing of the channel output.884
CH3 Levelmenu_settingAttenuates or amplifies the channel signal; DC-coupled so it works on both audio and CV. Gain up to 6dB (doubling the signal level).884
CH3 OffsetknobAdds or subtracts a DC offset to the section's signal; can convert unipolar to bipolar signals. When no input is patched, outputs a positive or negative steady DC voltage.884
CH3 Offset Enable SwitchswitchDisables the offset section entirely for more transparent signal processing.884
Sum All -6dB SwitchswitchHalves the output amplitude of the sum output to manage headroom when the mix is too loud.884
Unpatched Sum -6dB SwitchswitchHalves the output amplitude of the unpatched-sections sum output to manage headroom when the mix is too loud.884
