ADDAC501B

The ADDAC501B expansion is connected directly and automatically recognized by the ADDAC501 Complex Random.
It extends its functionality by adding gate outputs to the random generators.

There are three pairs of gates, corresponding to the respective outputs on ADDAC501. Each gate pair has both positive and inverted outputs.

There are 2 modes for the gates operation:
    1. Random mode: Generates a gate on when the channel cv is above the average between Minimum and Maximum.
    2. Clocked mode: Generates a trigger output everytime the corresponding CV output changes. 
To change between modes use the [Internal/Ext. Clock] switch on ADDAC501 and fastly flip it twice (up and down or down and up).

This expansion module also offers a dedicated Smooth knob for gliding effects.
With it you can have a voltage ramp or interpolation between two consecutive random numbers.
The Smooth pot rest state (inactive) is set at center (12 o'clock):
. Rotating to the left features a peculiar portamento "ring modulation"
. Rotating to the right features the standard smooth/glide function.

3 standard gate outputs
3 inverted gate outputs
Smooth / Glide knob

. Gates are triggered when ADDAC501 generates a number above the average of Maximum and Minimum.

. Smooth knob defines the amount of legato between each clock step.

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

Mechanical:

In case you're wondering: Sure! We can get you a custom coloured front panel for the ADDAC501B.
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.
