Switches

A very simple passive utility module, switches has 2 channels of manual switches. You can either map 1 input onto 2 outputs, or 2 inputs onto 1 output and easily switch between them with the high quality toggle switches. You can also leave one of the inputs unplugged turning this module into a simple mute.

This module is laid out with ease of use and ergonomics in mind. All of the jacks are at the bottom of the module and the switches are at the top, so that the cables hang down and out of the way of the switches. The switches are also right next to each other so that you have control of both channels without having to move your hands.

Each channel has 3 jacks. We haven't labelled these as input or output jacks because the switches are bi-directional and can be used either way round. In each channel there is a row of 2 jacks, and another row with a single jack. Flicking the switch to the left will connect the left hand jack with the bottom jack for that channel, and flicking the switch to the right will connect the right hand jack with the bottom jack.

We tested lots of switches and have found some that are good quality and give a nice click when you use them. These are much better than the cheap switches that can be found on a very popular online shop!

This module is great for performance and recording larger pieces and can be used to switch audio signals (for example 2 different waveforms from your oscillator) and control voltages (i.e. 2 different sequences). It can also be used to send 1 signal into 2 different locations, i.e. send a signal into a wavefolder or a filter at the flick of a switch. It's also sometimes useful to just route 1 signal through it and use it to turn that part on and off.

The module is completely passive. Front panel is made from FR4 fibreglass (PCB material).

Module width: 4HP.

Box contains module and 2 mounting screws.
