Toppobrillo Cluster (Silver)

MUSICAL FEATURES

Cluster is a CV processor inspired by the Buchla model 257.Adding a voltage-controlled polarizer, additional processing/mixing channels and routing options provides a compact and flexible feature set for dense Eurorack environments.

At just 8HP, this sophisticated processing toolbox fits every position in your system.The three independent sections can be used individually or as a whole.With the ability to mix up to 3 signals and a complementary SUM output, the signal path is low noise/low offset and handles both audio and CV well.

HOW TO USE

XY (polarizer channels)

two signals' X 'When' Y ' is a voltage-controlled attenuverter (four-quadrant multiplier) that multiplies '. ' X(Y) Out' outputs the product of these two sources.If not patched,YThe input is normalized to the offset voltage so it works as a standard attenuverter. Normalization is canceled by patching a source to the Y input.The output amplitude and polarity of the signal can be visually checked with a bicolor LED.

A->B (crossfader channel)

the middle section isLinear crossfaderis.The sum of the knob and the A→B CV input selects from A to B and in between. Turning on the ' REF ' switch will normalize the offset to input A. LEDs indicate relative crossfade positions.

Z (attenuverter/offset channel)

The bottom section is a simple processing channel with an offset normalized to the input, or manual if there is no patch.offset controlFunction as ZPatching the input removes this normalization and becomes an attenuverter. A bicolor LED indicates output amplitude and polarity.

SUM output

At the bottom of the module are two SUM outputs, ' Σ 'and its interpolation' -S ' and prints the sum of the three processing sections. If three sections have individual outputs patched, then the signal for that section is routed from the SUM output.Excludewill beThis allows you to use each channel independently and flexibly.Useful for example if you want to use Z as an offset voltage somewhere in your patch, or use XY as a ring modulator and send that signal to either input of the crossfader channel for VCA processing.
