An external input module that brings microphones, instruments, and line-level sources into a Eurorack system via a transformer/opamp mic preamp and a FET instrument/line preamp, with phantom power, pad, HPF, envelope follower, and comparator.894
Capabilities 4
- Comparatorcomparator
- Compares the envelope follower signal against a manually set threshold; when exceeded, a gate signal is output at the Comparator Gate Output.894
- Envelope Followerenvelope-follower
- Built-in envelope follower with manual attack and release controls generates a unipolar positive envelope output from the input signal, with a comparator threshold-based gate output.894
- External Inputexternal-input
- Accepts XLR microphone and TS instrument/line level signals, converting them to modular-level signals via its dual-channel preamp.894
- Preamplifierpreamplifier
- Provides both a transformer/opamp mic preamp (up to 60dB gain) and a FET instrument/line preamp (over 40dB gain), with phantom power, pad, and HPF on each channel.894
Jacks 4 (1 in / 3 out)
| Name | Signal | Voltage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inputs (1) | |||
| XLR/TS Input | audio | — | Accepts either XLR microphone-level or TS instrument/line-level signals for amplification to modular levels.894 |
| Outputs (3) | |||
| Comparator Gate Output | gate | — | Outputs a gate signal whenever the envelope follower exceeds the comparator threshold setting.894 |
| Envelope Output | cv | — | Unipolar positive CV output derived from the envelope follower tracking the input signal amplitude.894 |
| OUT | audio | — | Final audio output after preamplification and level attenuation.894 |
Parameters 9
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attack | knob | — | Applies slew to the attack time of the generated envelope follower signal.894 |
| Comparator Threshold | knob | — | Sets the level of the envelope follower signal at which the comparator triggers a gate output.894 |
| Gain | knob | — | Sets the amount of preamplification applied to the input signal; monitored via the VU meter on the output.894 |
| HPF Toggle | switch | — | A two-position toggle that applies an 80 Hz high-pass filter to the input signal when in the left position, and bypasses the filter when in the right position.894 |
| Input Toggle | switch | — | A two-position toggle selecting XLR microphone-level input in the left position or TS instrument/line-level input in the right position.894 |
| Level | knob | — | Attenuates the final output signal level sent to the OUT jack.894 |
| Pad Toggle | switch | — | A two-position toggle that applies -20 dB attenuation to the microphone input when in the left position, and disables the pad when in the right position.894 |
| Phantom Power Toggle | switch | — | A two-position toggle that enables +48V phantom power to the mic input when in the left position, and disables it when in the right position.894 |
| Release | knob | — | Applies slew to the decay/release time of the generated envelope follower signal.894 |
