All Hallows’ Utility

Published by Priscilla Haring-Kuipers on

You need UTILITY !
This weekend when the veil between worlds is thin, we wish to offer you connection.
Grab our Ardabil + Switch utility combo with 13 white woven patch cables by chanting #SPOOKY in our webshop this weekend. Many tricks and many treats.

Utilities are necessary

You can cut the CV range of your module into thinner slices. Duplicate and invert your signal. Create different moves from one signal. Group oscillators together musically. You can switch instantly between several patches. Blend the volume of your sound sources. Attain greater control and more precise tweaking.
Utilities give you more ways to play with all your other modules. They are part splitter and part duct tape, part multi-tool and double espresso, part gecko grip and part tweezers. Utilities work to make others shine and in a musical system made of blocks of interesting audio, it is these subservient connectors that you should put right in the centre of your circle.

Ardabil + Switch

We have two utility modules: Ardabil and Switch.
Our Ardabil is the rug that ties your rack together. This smart module has two threads that both give you all the utility options you need to play with, counter, tweak, cut and multiply your signal sound.

Precision adder adds 2 CVs together with great precision. 1 + 1 = exactly 2
Attenuverter incoming CV is multiplied by the knob next to it and the result is added to the sum of the Precision adder, range -1 / +1
Offset fixed voltage under a knob that is added to the sum of the Precison adder and the Attenuverter, range -5V/+5V
Buffered multiple outputs Three buffered outputs and a fourth buffered inverted output. LEDs blink when there is a signal
VCA  CV input that controls the volume of the audio input into the output. The CV input defaults to the signal from a buffered output.
And all of these TWICE

Switch is our small utility module that gives you more decisions to be made instantly.
You can patch in up to six things and select two at a time, twice. The switches select one out of three signal paths. Our Switch is completely passive and will have no effect on the signal that you run through it – either audio or CV. Not even directionality. Everything is up to you.

Ardabil & Switch for 225 EUR with 13 Rocket Patch cables instead of the usual 5 if you use code #SPOOKY this Halloween weekend in our webshop
