Mutable Instruments Kinks Utility Module (4HP)

Full Description

Shape Your Signal

Uniting three four function blocks in a tiny 4hp modules, Mutable Instruments have created a great utility module in Kinks that can add some interesting functionality to your Eurorack and help you unlock more sonic horizons. The signal processor at the top of the front panel gives you options to invert your signal and offers two types of rectifiers. The Logic section can be used as a min/max generator. It can mix logic signals like clock and gate but can also combine analogue signals. Finally, at the bottom of the panel is the classic sample and hold circuit which has its own noise generator added in as extra too. Kinks is a small module but adds lots of functionality to your Eurorack device. A must have for those looking to spice up their modular workflow.

Features

• Sign: Precision signal inverter and a half- and full-wave rectifier.
• Logic: Performs analog OR (maximum) and AND (minimum) operations.
• S&H: Sample-and-hold circuit coupled with a white noise source (normalized to the S&H input).

Specifications

• All inputs DC-coupled
• All circuits handle audio-rate signals
• Input impedance: 66k for RECTIFY, 90k for LOGIC, 1M for S&H.
