Prism

Qu-Bit Electronix

Multidimensional stereo signal processor combining a delay line, comb filter, decimator, and state variable filter with freeze/looper capabilities.778

Capabilities 4

Bit Crusherbit-crusher
Decimate control sets audio fidelity by controlling downsampling and bit-depth reduction applied to the buffer signal.778
Delay Linedelay-line
Flexible stereo delay line with time range 0.5ms to 1.5s; used as foundation for comb filter and freeze. Can be clocked via Filter Type CV input.778
Freeze / Buffer Looperfreeze-looper
Freeze locks the delay buffer so it loops indefinitely; configurable as latching or momentary; can be synced to external clock.778
State-Variable Filterstate-variable-filter
State variable filter with LPF, HPF, BPF, and disabled modes; can be placed at beginning or end of signal chain; CV-controllable cutoff and resonance.778

Jacks 11 (9 in / 2 out)

NameSignalVoltageDescription
Inputs (9)
Comb CVcv-5V to 5V778
Cutoff Frequency CVcv-8V to 8VCV input for cutoff frequency of the state variable filter. Scaled by attenuverter. CV adds to current knob position.778
Decimate CVcv-5V to 5V778
Filter Type CVcv-5V to 5VCV input for filter type selection. Can be configured as a clock input for the delay line via Edit Functions.778
Freeze GategateGate input for Freeze control. Configurable as latching or momentary. In momentary mode, freeze engages when gate is above 1V.778
In 1audioModular level audio input, normalled to Input 2.778
In 2audioModular level audio input; In 1 is normalled to this input.778
Resonance CVcv-5V to 5V778
Time CVcv-5V to 5V778

Parameters 9

NameTypeRangeBehavior
CombknobControls the amount of comb filtering/delay being applied to the signal. CV adds to current knob position.778
Cutoff Frequency AttenuverterknobAttenuates and inverts the cutoff frequency CV input. Full CCW = inverted full-scale; center = CV disabled; full CW = full-scale. Also used to attenuate audio input level when Mode button is held.778
Cutoff Frequency KnobknobManually sets the cutoff frequency of the state variable filter.778
DecimateknobSets audio fidelity by controlling downsampling and bit-depth reduction applied to the signal. CV adds to current knob position.778
Filter TypebuttonCycles through LPF (blue), HPF (green), BPF (red), and Disabled (off) filter topologies. State stored between power cycles. CV input can be configured as clock input for delay line.778
FreezebuttonLocks current delay line buffer contents. While frozen, signal repeats indefinitely and input is ignored. Configurable as latching (white LED) or momentary (blue LED). State stored between power cycles.778
ModebuttonToggles the position of the state variable filter in the signal chain. Blue LED = filter at beginning of chain; green LED = filter at end of chain. State stored between power cycles.778
ResonanceknobControls the resonance of the state variable filter. CV adds to current knob position.778
Timeknob0.5ms – 1500msControls the size of the audio buffer in the delay line. Also controls clock multiplications/divisions when Clocked Delay Times mode is enabled.778
