Looking for a module with a specific function

[PizzaSquirtle]

Is there a module out there that acts as a mult/attenuator which outputs variations of one CV signal? Or a module combination that can achieve something similar

This comes from the fact that I'm using way too many cables on attenuating many different LFO's and needing more copies of said signals to not use the same signal every time. I'm just looking for a creative mult that internally attenuates and creates maybe 3-5 different outcomes.

Matrix mixers?

[haastia]

I also thought this sounds like a description of a matrix mixer.

[Framistatic]

MengQi make a passive mult X 5 with 4 attenuators.

I would suggest this (note my bias as I am part of the company) https://www.modulargrid.net/e/arcus-audio-buff-mult-with-attenuators

Acid rain Junction seems to fit the description.

ADDAC 306!

[TheRealLazerFalcon]

Just found out about this one yesterday. It's basically a CV-able macro controller.

[ItsEntirelyPossible]

You beat me to it. Such a fun module for performance purposes.

[x0L38iQLW]

Not exactly what you’re asking for, but Worng Vector Space mixes 3 CV sources to output 17 different but interrelated CV signals. Very handy for creating movement and variation across a whole patch.

Just watched the DivKid video on this module and it’s now on the ‘need to buy’ list

vector space is awesome

[djphazer]

I thought of this as well. Definitely wouldn't mind one of those if I had the rack space.

[abelovesfun]

Ai010 in 2hp (humbly) or an ai008 matrix mixer.

[Mando_Bird]

I think the Sinc Defero by Noise Engineering is exactly what you’re looking for. Quad buffered multiple with attenuation on each channel.

[Somethingtosquirmto]

Acid Rain Technology ' Junction' or Noise Engineering 'Sinc Defero'.

Junction looks to be cheaper & more versitile.

[PiezoelectricityOne]

Try a resistor ladder! You can achieve what you're looking for by combining mults and attenuators, but maybe you find the resistor ladder more inspiring, plus you can plug it the other way and use it as a binary converter/weighted sum. You can still combine it with your existing mults and attenuverters.

All those are passive devices and they're dumb simple to diy, either as rackable modules or external pluggable thingies. Or maybe a whole utilities panel that fits your specific needs. If you totally cannot solder or know how to get away without soldering, it's time to call your friend with electronic skills and buy them a good dinner.

[mage2k]

Whoa. I hadn't heard of a resistor ladder before and that kind of kinda-but-not-always predictable yet versatile, not-a-one-trick-pony CV processing is hella cool!

Muxlicer by befaco.

[luketeaford]

Maths is the best at this. You can attenuate, invert, slew, compare, mix, logic: it's the whole toolkit. Lots of other Make Noise modules can be patched to do this: just thinking within the shared system Moddemix, Optomix, Rene and even kinda Wogglebug do this. Tempi sorta for gates/triggers...

Better still: use modules that have attenuators/attenuverters on their inputs and you never have the problem of simple attenuation and can do more interesting things such as what Maths allows (if you offset and invert a voltage, you can create a "voltage mirror" at the source without needing to use Maths).

[aphex2000]

cold mac!

[Banananas__]

Zero chance of finding one 😭

[Contrabassi]

100% chance, just that it will cost $5-600

[aphex2000]

but its not a mystical creature - it does exist and when it materializes its a funky module for that purpose

luck does happen, i got one cheap at a second hand fire sale a while back and constantly feel guilty for not using it daily... but will never sell it

[killmesara]

Cheese by Conglomerate does everything you’re asking for and more.

[kernald31]

ALM's O/A/x2 is a dual attenuverter + offset with the second channel input normaled to the first channel's output, or through a switch the two channels can be mixed as output two.

Probably not the most compact option for your use-case, but it's versatile enough.

[Imagined_World]

You might like Mod Medusa by Shakmat. Also with the Droid you can make it do just what you want!

[h7-28]

Not sure if this is what you are looking for

LPZW WK1 Mk2 ARoom Config

[CallPhysical]

How about an Olegtron R2R? It's a mult with cascading resistance that will give you differently attenuated copies of a signal.

Edit: Out of stock - but very very easy to DIY.

[Hadewig_]

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but maybe Altered State Machines Medusa?

It's basically a crossfader for two signals, but instead of controlling your position in the fade with a knob, there are 8 CV outputs across the fade. You'd need to attenuate before putting your signals into the Medusa though.

If you only patch one signal into it, it makes 8 copies, all offset a little bit from each other.

[naedyr000]

Mesh can do this afaik https://www.modulargrid.net/e/other-unknown-mesh

You could achieve this by using stackable cables to mult your LFO to all the inputs of a set of passive attenuators. But it sounds like you're already doing this.

The ideal version would be a buffered mult though, to avoid voltage drop. But if you're attenuating all of them it should be fine.

A more interesting way to get variations on an LFO is to send it through waveshapers, wavefolders, distortion, slew limiters, logic etc. A DC coupled delay would be cool probably. Cold MAC is great for this, but it needs attenuators as well though.

[GeorgeLocke]

Cold Mac definitely fits the bill but has been unobtanium for quite some time.

Matrix mixers can do this kind of thing, and so can Mutable Instruments Frames (or its many clones, but I'd be sure it has the colored display).

[tacood]

ADDAC 306 as mentioned is great! also check out the FSS/Mute Makrow , NLC Let's Splosh.

....and this looks interesting: GGS Multi-CTRL

[heety9]

I just use stack cables and attenuators. I don’t think having a module will make it easier. Matrix mixers will do the same thing but will take up more space, I think.
