The Utility series with CV Bus
The highlight of the 7U 4 Zone Case is of course the Utility row, which has been revised in parts. Most of the space is taken up by the CV Bus, which consists of four colour-coded 1 on 4 (1 In/4 Out) buffered multiples. The CV Bus distributes clock, gate, trigger and control voltages to up to four destinations per bus and gives visual Feedback about the signal. To the left of the CV bus is the Voltage Math, a useful tool for editing voltages. The two inputs are summed at the output, with the lower one set to Unity and the upper one adjusted by the bipolar attenuator. The attenuated input is also normalized to a DC offset to allow for level shifting, voltage inversion, etc. The output level and polarity is indicated by the green and red LEDs. To the right of the CV bus is the stereo line driver, which converts the powerful signal to line level at Eurorack level. On the input side, mono and stereo signals are accepted, which are output in stereo at the outputs and at the headphone output. To avoid overloads, an overload indicator is implemented for the left and right channel.
