Tesseract Modular

Notes: VU meter for eurorack.

BLINKS is a VU meter for eurorack with 24 RGB leds per channel, function is pretty easy, it has 2 inputs, one for each led column (no output).

PATT button changes the led pattern ( 6 patterns to choose ).

SENS button changes the input sensitivity, cycling in 7 steps.

Long pressing the PATT button enters the color scheme selection.

Long pressing SENS button enters the brightness adjustment. Most probably you'll prefer the lowest setting.

The module has a 5v regulator in case you don't have 5v in you eurorack PSU. A jumper in the back select if the led board would be powered by the 5v rail or the internal regulator (which works with the +12v rail)

Up to 3 stereo signals can be connected to a buffered input using the rear headers.

Easy DIY with only a few components, the led board is already assembled.

5v not indispensable
+5v: 30 mA (on lowest brightness)
+12v: 4mA (or ~40mA if 5v rail is not used)

Notes: Dual AB Switch

The A/B Switch selects between A and B and the middle position of the switch is a "mute", works with any kind of signal (cv or audio) and is bidirectional.

This is an utility module that was made for switching stereo signals, but other uses are possible:

Select between 2 stereo sources.

Select between 2 stereo destinations.

Bypass control for mono signal processing.

Routing control for a single signal.

Panel is reversible so it can be mounted with the switches on the right or left.

This module does not draw any power.
Size: 8 HP
12 mm deep

Notes: This is a 4 mono channels expansion. Several of these modules can be added to provide more channels. Every channel features:
- Mono input
- Vactrol Gate (plug a CV into the GATE IN to modulate the volume of a channel, just like a classic VCA. When nothing is plugged in the GATE IN, the gate is normalled to fully open)
-SEND A control (switchable PRE/POST, in PRE mode the signal is present regardless to the channel volume control but only if the channel switch is in ON position)
-SEND B control (post-fader)
-PAN control (only affects the master bus)
-VOLUME control (affects the master, cue and POST sends, does not affect PRE-fader send)
-ON/OFF/CUE switch: ON - channel is routed to the master bus
OFF - channel is muted
CUE - channel is routed to the cue bus

13 mA +12V
8 mA -12V

Notes: This is the main module of the mixer and the only indispensable one, the only one that needs the eurorack power cable. It provides power to all the other modules and contains the summing circuit for all channels in every audio bus.

32 mA +12V
32 mA -12V

Notes: 8 triangle LFOs with relative frequencies and CV control.

Output voltage is +/- 5.25v (10.5Vpp).

Upper LFO is the fastest and lower is the slowest one. The frequency ratio between LFOs is approx 3/2 (or 1.5), being at max speed the upper 13.5Hz and the lower one 1Hz .

The frequency range with the potentiometer is 80-90%.

Negative voltages present at the CV input will stop the oscillation of all LFOs, but the potentiometer it's an offset, which means that will act as a manual frequency control and will also set the voltage range for the CV input, allowing negative voltages when set to max.

Dimensions: 4 HP
25 mm deep

Notes: Remote extension module that allows to connect 16 signals (audio, CV, gate or whatever) between large or spread-out cases.

To avoid bleeding, signals are isolated with a ground line between them (both in the ribbon cable and the printed circuit).

The bundle consists in two XT modules and two ribbon cables (1, 1.5 or 2 meters depending on the option selected).

This is a passive module, it does not draw any current.
