Audio Interface

Envelope Follower

Trigger/Gate Extractor 

Via the M512 AUDIO INTERFACE one can integrate external Audio and different Instruments into his modular system. First it is a preamplifier to raise microphone or line signals to modular level to be used inside the synthesizer system.

· The signal passes the gain control with 3-LED-level indicator
and microphone/line level input switch. 

· The audio output provides the amplified input signal.

· The gate/trigger threshold control defines the level from which the
gate/trigger puls is released

· The Switch-on time defines the lengths of the gate pulse,
the gate delay controls the delay of this pulse.

· The glide control “softens” the form of the generated envelope voltage.

M 565 v3

Quad Quantizer 

QUAD QUANTIZER featuring four independent quantizer circuits forces variable control voltages into semitone intervals (1/12 volt) over a bipolar input voltage range of more than twenty octaves (255 semitones). 

Gate pulses fed into the “Gate In“- jack trigger the quantizer. An “open“ gate input quantizes, i. e. if no gate jacks are patched. The four gate-ins are passed through, one plugged IN 1 feeds IN 2 to IN 4 as well. 

The gate outputs supply a pulse, when- ever the (quantized) output voltage changes. The most recent quantized value remains preserved until the next quantization will occur. 

This module is also available as CP-size module (4 units wide).

M 565 D

Quantizer Controller

The QUANTIZER CONTROLLER allows to limit the output voltages generated by the M 565 v3 Quad Quantizer to any desired key, chord or note interval. Using the array of 12 keyboard-like arranged LED buttons, notes can be activated or deactivated in any combination. Up to two M 565 D Quantizer Controller modules can be connected to a single M565v3. If only one M565D is connected, all 4 channels are forced to its settings. 

If two M 565 D are connected channels 1 and 2 are controlled by the first and channels 3 and 4 by the second. Multiple quantization settings can be stored if a M 567 Universal Programmer is connected to the M 565 v3.

M 595/567 V

12 x12 Programmable Switch/Summer Matrix

The PROGRAMMABLE SWITCH/SUMMER MATRIX is a solution to manage the distribution and/or mixing of 12 by 12 DC-coupled and buffered inputs and outputs, fully analogue with a high precision signal path.

INPUT MODE: Routing/Distribution (off/on) or mixing signals (off/third/twothirds/full)

LINK MODE: Inputs and outputs are paired to handle immediately a combination of e.g. the
CV and GATE outputs of a sequencer or a stereo audio signal.

PROGRAMMER: 99 memory locations with an independant edit buffer.

M 528

Sample and Hold

The M 528 module is a sample & hold circuit consisting of the following elements:

· The voltage controlled clock oscillator gates the sample circuit and doubles as a VCLFO with triangular and rectangular waveforms.

· External gate input

· Signal input can be the internal noise source (white noise and random voltage, both with separate output jacks) or an external sample signal.

· Dual voltage output jacks with switchable variable glide (portamento) control.

M 592

Reversible Modulation Matrix

The REVERSIBLE MODULATION MATRIX combines six attenuator-units, consisting of three elements each: 

· 12 position input selector to choose one of 12 signal inputs 

· reversible attenuator, which attenuates or amplifies the input signal in a range from -200 % to +200 %; in zero-position the signal is suppressed completely 

· 12 position output selector to chose one of 12 signal outputs 

The complete modulation matrix consists of three (or in one special case two) modules – the central active control unit M 592 and the sub-modules M 592i/592o with 12 in- and 12 output-jacks. The inputs are connected via switching jacks: one single modulation source can – without any extra patchcord – routed to several different outputs at once, via independent attenuators.

M 544 CP

Utility Module

The M 544 CP UTILITY MODULE incorporates a couple of useful control voltage and logic functions. 

· Two attenuators which double as 

  2-channel mixer and inverter 

· Slew limiter 

· Gate delay 

· 3-input voltage summer/inverter 

· 3-input gate summer/inverter

M 567

Universal Programmer

The UNIVERSAL PROGRAMMER MODULE enables the user to save and recall settings from the 568 sequencer, 565D quantizer controller and future modules. The 567 can save 2 x 8 settings in its non volatile memory. 

Operation is simple. Via the push buttons the user selects one of 8 memory slots. Two memory banks are selected via the bank buttons. Four push buttons control the memory operations. With the lower “go to” buttons/ jacks one can step through memory positions in either direction, even by trigger pulses from external sources (or from a 568 itself). 

This way extremely long trigger sequences could be made possible.

M 554

Octal Clock Divider

The OCTAL CLOCK DIVIDER combines 8 divider circuits in one module. 

Each of the dividers offers twelve division factors:
1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5 · 6 · 7 · 8 · 10 · 12 · 16 and 32. 

The input jacks are normalized to allow complex divider combinations without external patching: Input 1 is daisy chained to input 3, input 3 to 5, input 5 to 7. Output 1 is daisy chained to input 2, output 3 to input 4, output 5 to input 6,
output 7 to input 8. 

Input 8 can be configured (jumper on the main circuit board) to serve as master reset input for dividers 1 to 7.

M 594 

Multiples

MULTIPLES MODULE with 3 x 4 sets of jacks. 

By using the two additional ‘break’-jacks, one can use this module as one, two or three independent four-jack- multiple areas.

M 591

Quad Switch Matrix

The QUAD SWITCH MATRIX ROUTER is a passive module, where 2 x 4 output jacks (“destinations“) can be routed in pairs to 2 x 4 signal inputs (“sources“) using four 6-way rotary switches with two “off “-positions. 

This simple device is intended as a companion module to the M552, but suitable for a multitude of applications, where audio- and control-signals have to be routed fast and with immediate visual feedback. 

M 599 

Jack Interface Module

INTERFACE MODULE with eight sets of jacks: 

· 1/4” (6,35 mm) 

· Banana 

· 1/8” (3,5 mm).

M 545 1A 

Power Supply & Distribution Module

The POWER SUPPLY MODULE M 545 1A  combines a one unit module with a eight header distribution board,
a four jack multiple, master switch and display leds for the three voltages.

Eight DotCom* style power connectors to feed the attached modules. Via the dedicated connector an extra power distribution board (500PD) not included can be applied to drive more modules.

+15 V (1 A) | -15 V (1 A) | +5V (0.6 A)
A 2.5A external multi region power adapter and eight
500-PDotCom cables are included.

500PD extra power distribution board (included with the M 545 2A version)
