2CVTOOL

View Product Page

The 2CVTOOL offers two separate units for offset, attenuation and inversion of signals, also known as "attenuverter". This can be useful for all kinds of purposes.

Module power consumption: 2 mA

Inputs

• IN 1 - accepts any CV or audio signal
• IN 2 - accepts any CV or audio signal

Outputs

• Bus CV - CV signal from MIDI (CC20)
• Bus CTRL - CTRL signal from MIDI
• OUT 1 (x2) - attenuverted and offset signal from IN1
• OUT 2 (x2) - attenuverted and offset signal from IN2
• MULT - passive multiple, not connected to the module's circuitry

Controls

• OFFSET 1 - Potentiometer to dial in the offset voltage for channel 1.
• LEVEL 1 - Potentiometer to select the attenuation. This is a bipolar control in that it can reduce the incoming voltage or increase it.
• OFFSET 2 - Potentiometer to dial in the offset voltage for channel 2. This will be added to the incoming CV.
• LEVEL 2 - Potentiometer to select the attenuation. This is a bipolar control in that it can reduce the incoming voltage or increase it.

Patch Suggestions

This is (currently) one of the few modules that can invert a signal so can be invaluable. For example; you want a filter to close as a key is held and then open once released the easiest way to do this is to invert the CV out from an envelope generator. Another common example is inverting a trigger so something else is making noise when the trigger is not "on", useful for rhythm patches...

This module can be useful to provide a knob control to a parameter that doesn't otherwise have one. For example CV2 on the MS20 filter module.

It can also be good with the Joystick module, for instance if you want a CV being controlled by that also have another adjustment.

Currently only the Mixconsole has CV control of the channel input levels on a mixer; you can use the 2CVTOOL to set a minimum level with the offset, and then the modulation amount (i.e. volume) is controlled by this module's level knob. Excellent with Envelopes but works with LFOs as well....
