ADDAC306

Introducing ADDAC306 VC Transitions
 
ADDAC306 is a 5 channel multi-directional CV generator.
 
You can think of it as a "sweet spot" controller, or a hands-on way of transiting from one state to another.
 
 
Each of the five channels has MINIMUM, SPAN and DIRECTION controls, a common CV IN and a common TRANSITION CONTROLLER slider.
 
MINIMUM sets the minimum channel voltage.
 
SPAN sets the voltage range of the channel. 
It essentially sets the maximum voltage that can be output from the channel, relative to what the current channel MINIMUM is. For a given SPAN value, if the MINIMUM voltage is changed then the maximum voltage output from that channel will also change respectively.
 
DIRECTION sets whether the voltage transition for each channel goes from MINIMUM to maximum, or maximum to MINIMUM.
 
The TRANSITION CONTROLLER slider controls the transition from the minimum value (A) to the maximum value (B) or vice versa, according to the settings of each independent channel. 
Moving this slider generates 5 different voltages with 5 different ranges and directions. The transition can also be operated from a CV source at the CV IN, in which case the slider position acts as an attenuator for the incoming voltage.
 
The maximum range of each channel can be set to either 5 or 10 volts, by 5 jumpers in the back of the module. Only positive voltages are generated at the output.
 
Using the CV IN you can use two ADDAC306 modules to expand your control options to 9 voltage outputs under one common slider control.
Use the VC Transitions to multiply the polyphony of a single CV sequencer by passing its outputs through the ADDAC207.
VC Transitions makes for an awesome state transition controller. Plug its outputs to various CV controller parameters of your audio effects modules. Set the slider to position A, and set the minimum values for each channel. Then move the slider to position B and set the SPAN settings for each channel. Use the TRANSITION CONTROLLER slider to morph from state A to state B and backwards. Flip the DIRECTION switches to change the direction of the transition for each channel. Use the CV IN to automate the transition using LFOs, ADSRs or sequencers.
Plug the output of your ADSR envelope to the CV IN and set the channels differently to get 5 different ADSRs from one common source.   
 
This module's development was based on an initial idea by Konstantine Fioretos.

In case you're wondering: Sure! We can get you a custom coloured front panel for the ADDAC306.
It has an additional cost and takes 4 to 6 weeks to be ready.

At the moment the ADDAC306 standard panel colour is Black.

A custom colour panel can be done in either Red, 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 ADDAC306!

• The module’s faceplate and components may have sharp edges. Handle with care to avoid cuts or scratches.
4. Small Parts:
• Contains small parts that could pose a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.
5. Compatibility:
• This module is designed specifically for Eurorack-compatible systems. Connecting it to non-compatible systems may result in damage or malfunction.

Installation and Use
• Mounting: Secure the module properly in the Eurorack case using the provided screws.
• Power Connection: Verify the polarity of the power cable before connecting to avoid damage to the module or power supply. Use only the included or manufacturer-recommended power cable.
• Operational Use: Follow the module's user guide for instructions on operation. Do not exceed the input/output limits specified.
Maintenance and Handling
• Inspection: Regularly check for loose connections or signs of wear.
• Cleaning: Disconnect the module from power before cleaning. Use a dry or lightly damp cloth; avoid using solvents or water directly on the module.
• Repairs: Do not attempt to repair or modify the module yourself. Contact the manufacturer for support.

Environmental Safety
• Dispose of the module, its components, and packaging in accordance with local electronic waste regulations.

Liability Disclaimer
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any injury, damage, or malfunction resulting from improper installation, use, or modification of this product.

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.
