ADDAC304

With the ADDAC304 Manual Gates you'll be getting 8 manual gates (0 +5v) in a nifty package - a perfect way to perform on and control your modular system.

The ADDAC304 comes with an interesting twist: 4 out of the 8 available gates can act as momentary switches, outputting the signals in their respective inputs when each gate’s button is pressed.

This module is also available as a full DIY kit.

Specs:

MECHANICAL:
Format: Eurorack
Width: 8 HP
Depth: 2.5 cm
CONTROL VOLTAGE I/O:
CV inputs: ± 10v
Gate outputs: 0 +5v
ELECTRICAL:
Max current: 10mA
Bus Board Cable: 8 × 2 IDC (Doepfer style) connector

F.A.Q.

Q: Are the buttons momentary? Will the module send a gate-high signal for as long as the button is held down?   
 
A: Yes! The ADDAC304 uses momentary switches (check the ADDAC305 if you want  toggle switches instead). The module will output a +5v signal for as long as the button is held down, and when released it will output 0v.
 
 
Q: Will the module output gates when nothing is connected at the inputs?
 
A: If a jack is plugged in an channel which has an input, then when you press the button the incoming signal will be output instead. If there is no input then the channel behaves like all other channels, firing +5v when pressed and 0v when not pressed.

Note: All specifications and features are subject to change without previous notice.

In case you're wondering: Sure! We can get you a custom coloured front panel for the ADDAC304.
It has an additional cost and takes 4 to 6 weeks to be ready.

At the moment we have standard issue stock for either Black or Red panels for this module

A custom colour panel can be done in either Green, Blue, White, Silver Gray, Yellowed Silver, and Dark or Light Bronze.

Print colour varies between Black, White, or Red, Blue and Green. We recommend lighter-tone print for darker panels, and vice-versa.

Please note: we don’t stock custom coloured panels. For every custom order we need to make a single panel order from our panel provider. This explains the panel price and lead time.

Thanks for your interest in the ADDAC304!

DIY Kit for Eurorack Module

Please read this safety guide before installation or use.

Important Notice & Intended Use
• This kit is intended for adult users experienced in electronics and modular synthesis.
• Assembly, including soldering, is required.
• Proper testing and installation are essential to ensure safe and functional operation.
• The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.
• Use outside this scope may result in malfunction, damage, or safety risks.

General Warnings

Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the product manual). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage your module or system. Make sure the module is connected with correct polarity.

Heat Generation:
• The module may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.

Sharp Edges:
• The module’s faceplate and components may have sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid cuts or scratches.

• Contains small parts that could cause a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.

Compatibility:
• This module is designed specifically for Eurorack-compatible systems. Connecting it to non-compatible systems may result in damage or malfunction.

Assembly Requirements
• Soldering skills are required to complete the module.
• Ensure a clean, well-lit and ventilated workspace free of flammable materials during assembly.
• Use appropriate tools and safety equipment, such as eye protection.

Testing
• Test the module thoroughly for shorts or incorrect assembly before powering it in your Eurorack system. When the unit has malfunctions due to incorrect assembly, the entire Eurorack system might be damaged. It's a good idea to test it in a separate case with only that single module.
• Use a multimeter or other appropriate tools to confirm proper functionality.

Installation and Use
• Mount securely in a Eurorack case using the provided screws.
• Use only the included or manufacturer-recommended power cable.
• Connect only when the power is off.
